Cape Weligama - Relais & Chateaux

Our stay at Cape Weligama was truly memorable. The resort is set in one of the most stunning locations we’ve ever experienced – breathtaking views over the ocean, beautifully kept gardens, and an atmosphere of absolute peace and relaxation. The service throughout was exceptional, warm, and attentive, making us feel genuinely welcomed. The villas are spacious, elegant, and private, offering everything one could expect from a luxury escape. The infinity pool overlooking the ocean and the different lookout points around the property were simply spectacular. If we had to point out one area for improvement, it would be the dinner at the Atlas restaurant. While the setting is beautiful, the food did not quite live up to the standard of the rest of the resort – portions were small, flavors not particularly memorable, and the prices high for the experience. For now, I would recommend enjoying room service instead, which was excellent and, in our view, the best way to dine here until the Atlas restaurant raises its level. That said, everything else – the place, the views, the service, the rooms, and the sense of space – was outstanding. Cape Weligama is a remarkable place to unwind, and we would return without hesitation.

Cape Weligama offers a great standard of accommodation and laid back luxury, this tucked away peaceful retreat with beautiful views was a wonderful way to complete our trip, ||Some of the renovations (beach bar area) are still ongoing and yet to be bought up to the standard of those areas of the hotel (some rooms and the restaurant) which have been recently renovated. ||Our party had a Premium Villa & Prestige villa both were AMAZING and could not be faulted. Villas were extremely spacious, modern, well equipped and immaculately presented. || Upon arrival the manager kindly upgraded us to full board. The restaurant offered a different menu each night so for a short stay didn’t feel repetitive. The manager was often present and engaging, staff were friendly and service were first class, a special mention to Champi who looked after us throughout our stay.

wonderful experience, everyone was super friendly and took care of every little detail, and made us feel so welcome. every request we had was promptly attended to and honestly felt so sad to leave! the best, friendliest service, special mention to the forest school staff, restaurant staff and special mention to Salman who so seamlessly handled all aspects of our visit for us, including any little things we may need for the villa and even our full-day excursions. will be back!

Cape Weligama – 5/5 ⭐️ Cape Weligama is truly one of the best travel destinations in Sri Lanka’s south coast. The hotel offers a unique and luxurious experience, making it well worth the value. From breathtaking ocean views to exceptional service, everything here feels special. A perfect place to relax, unwind, and enjoy a memorable stay. Highly recommended for anyone seeking a top-class travel destination in Sri Lanka.

Our experience was one of being made to feel very individually cared for, from our arrival to dining. ||We were escorted to the viewing spots, where Champi was professional whilst friendly. ||We got the feeling that the staff were very happy at work here. This tells us a lot about the management.||The layout of the complex creates a feel of seclusion, whilst always within reach of immediate assistance whenever needed.||The main restaurant was a delight…. The design, the coastal views, the gourmet..||The attention to detail is seen everywhere, the gardens are spectacular!

I’m surprised to see only a 4.7 total star rating but then the world is now filled with travellers with exacting standards. We travelled with our nine-month old and found everything to be wonderful and easy. The location speaks for itself, nestled in the hills, it has beautiful views and the most lush surrounds. The staff is incredibly helpful and warm. I made a small comment to them about food and very minor details but overall we thought everything including our beautiful, spacious and clean room was wonderful. And that almost private pool - heaven. Very peaceful, very familiar. Highly recommend and will definitely be back! Do beware, ACs not available outside the room and Sri Lanka is a pretty hot country. But that is the case everywhere and I’m sure this is more to do with the country than the hotel itself.

A family trip at this wonderful resort and incidentally to celebrating my milestone birthday!|Chef Ishara created on of the best birthday cakes …. Tres Leches Cake with Mascarpone…. was just a fiesta. |From the check-in till we left 4 days later, the service was impeccable. Notable mentions were Brenden Scott who went over and beyond to check up on every single need and made our stay even more satisfying!|Rumesh… F&B Exec….who went beyond the call of service at every meal remembering our individual requests even on the 4th day! Lahiru was impeccable too! |Not to mention the room boy Lahiru, the gardener, the reservations staff…especially Manuja, RM Nissanka and the many others who helped to make our stay a wonderful experience!|Food and beverages-5/5|Service 5/5|Comfort 4/5|Location 5/5|Surfing is a plus during the season! I don’t see why this luxury resort is not full 24/7/12…. So if you haven’t visited this property you are the big loser! Season or no season make your booking now and maybe you may get a deal!

Not a single negative remark about this understated luxurious hotel. Exceeded our expectations. The staff here will go above and beyond. We were greeted by the manager Nissanka as soon as we stepped out of our vehicle and had recieved that consistent level of service throughout our stay being met with courteous staff all fluent in English . The food is phenomenal. You can taste the quality and care put into their dishes. Their rice and curry will not disappoint! The infamous pool will keep you occupied with its stunning view, staring at waves for hours. The room we got was extraordinary. Very comfortable and luxurious, you can really tell how much thought has gone into every detail with your experience being a priority. We left wanting more which is exactly what you’d want from a great hotel. A real pearl in Sri Lanka and will definitely be coming back.
