Our thoughts

Cape Weligama may be hidden, but by no means isolated. A quick 20 minute drive west and you’re in the middle of Fort Galle. Or try as a twin centre with the hotel’s sister property Tea Trails - a charter seaplane service can connect the two resorts. A great hotel to take in the beautiful sights of Southern Sri Lanka
