Cape Weligama - Relais & Chateaux

This hotel has to be one of if not the best one so far! From the attention of the staff to the taste of the food and the beauty of the environment around… spectacular is not enough to describe it. ||The check in process was very welcoming and pleasant. The staff were friendly and warm… the Resident Manager shared his contact and ensured any matter would be taken care of if needed. One particular staff I’m grateful for is (Salman) who was helpful with every request. This may sound hysterical but he was genuinely working hard everywhere at every time. Even though he’s working tirelessly day and night, he never said no to any request and actually did everything in his power to coordinate with the rest of the team and ensure every need was met. ||Even though there was no buffet for breakfast, the menu covered almost every type of food. For shorter stays, every item will surely not be covered. The taste and presentation of the food was beautifully executed as well. From the western dishes to the authentic Sri Lankan ones, it was truly remarkable. The usually overlooked bread basket was also splendid; special shoutout to one of the crispiest croissants ever!||The villas were also very cozy and beautifully designed to give it a nice touch of tradition whilst portraying the naturalistic theme the entire hotel is built upon. The Prestige Villa definitely weakened the competition and this was evident upon arrival at the next resort on this trip. ||All in all, if an all rounded experience is what’s needed, this is the place to visit. Definitely recommending for a hearty experience!

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!

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.

this was my second stay and it lived up to my memories and expectations. It’s a beautiful resort with stunning views, fantastic restaurants and food along with a gorgeous pool and perfect rooms. On top of that the gym is really well stocked. The spa is also gorgeous.||We were staying at two of this groups hotels so had them arrange all of the transport. I noted on other reviews there are comments on the costs. It is more expensive than doing it yourself but it makes it all the more convenient. ||The team were also fantastic. Nothing was too much.||I had one minor issue (not worth mentioning here) but as soon as I raised it the team reacted straight away. A great sign of a great team.||I will be back….again!

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.

An unforgettable dining experience at Tableau, Cape Weligama.|The menu offers a unique and thoughtful blend of local and international flavours that truly impressed us. It was exciting to see how each dish brought together ingredients in a creative way.||Some standout favourites included the starters featuring local mackerel, a flavourful soup, and a delicious kohila dip. The mains were equally impressive—the steak was cooked to perfection, and the cassava and coconut blend was a surprising highlight. It’s now our favourite alternative to mashed potatoes!||Every course was beautifully presented and well-executed, making this one of the most memorable meals we've had.

Cape Welligama offers an amazing experience. From its beautiful views and exceptional service, it's hard to top for a relaxing getaway. A special mention also has to be made of its incredible infinity "Moonpool." Quite simply, one of the most spectacular I've seen anywhere. There's also a beautiful large pool more suitable for families. The rooms are incredibly comfortable with solid air conditioning and oodles of amenities. There are several secluded lookouts that let you enjoy the views with more privacy. As an added bonus, the resort also has a fair share of wildlife, including birds, monkeys, and monitor lizards which you're likely to run across. Overall, a great choice for upscale lodging in the Welligama area.

If you are looking for stunning accommodation in a beautiful setting with incredible staff… look no further!! We have spent 8 nights at Cape Weligama and have enjoyed every moment. The location and hotel are stunning with wonderful facilities but the staff truely make your stay a special one. From the moment you step foot into the reception area you are made to feel welcome, cared for and at home. No task or request was too big or small for the team and Shan made sure we experienced everything we wanted. From yoga, to private dinning experiences, to massages, this hotel has so much to offer. The entire team here are amazing and we can’t recommend this hotel enough. We will be back!
