"A luxurious resort located on a grassy bluff at the southern tip of Sri Lanka, offering stunning views of the Indian Ocean and a vibrant surf culture."
"The team behind Ceylon Tea Trails has opened its latest Relais & Chateaux resort on a 12-acre headland above Sri Lanka’s palm-lined southern coast. Between the on-site dive center and the infinity pool overlooking the Indian Ocean, it offers plenty of outdoor diversions. But you’ll also want to spend time in its 39 terracotta-roofed, butler-serviced villas, designed by Thai architect Lek Bunnag within stonewalled wattas, or gardens. Hot List 2015 - Beachside Escapes"

"Sri Lanka suffers from no shortage of fine hotels, but thanks to a quirk of architectural history, most of them, stylistically speaking, are variations on the “tropical modernism” of the Geoffrey Bawa school. Cape Weligama, on the island’s south coast, a few miles from Galle, blazes its own trail — and what’s unique about it is that it finds its identity by looking to the past. Here the Thai architect Lek Bunnag took inspiration from Sri Lanka’s long history as an explorers’ waystation, incorporating countless elements from the island’s pre-modernist history in this classic-contemporary resort." - Tablet Hotels
