One of the most beautiful hotels I’ve ever stayed in. Rooms are large with all amenities you could need - including steam room in the shower. Property is well kept, with wildlife around. Lovely beach with beach club and a fabulous crescent shaped infinity pool with unbelievable views over the bay. Food is delicious and the staff are friendly and helpful - Salman in particular helped really make the stay extra special, seeing that every need we had was met. Couldn’t recommend this place more.

We really enjoyed our stay at Cape Weligama Hotel. We received a warm welcome on arrival and were taken by buggy to our amazing room overlooking the garden. It was spacious and so was the bathroom.

A short walk to the dining room for dinner and breakfast and we enjoyed being able to sit outside on the terrace for both.

My husband went on a nature walk with a ranger around the property and was shown different plants and birds which he really enjoyed.

In summary, we really enjoyed our stay here and can really recommend it.

10/10 hotel. Would highly recommend to anyone. It’s so incredibly beautiful with such lush tropical vegetation throughout the whole hotel. The rooms are huge, beautifully presented with everything you need. The service is amazing, with such friendly and helpful staff at every corner of the hotel. Nothing is too much for anyone here! We came on our honeymoon and are leaving feeling like we want to revisit soon! The pools are really lovely also, and the beach (although rocky) is really nice. A very memorable special stay at this hotel!

The hotel is very impressive, from the moment you check in you are well looked after, the staff are polite, attentive and always on hand to help you. Our Villa was beautiful and spacious. Breakfast was good but not great - the Sri Lankan options were far better than the Western options, but the food is plentiful & you can order multiple dishes. The hotel is pure luxury, however after staying in other hotels and travelling around Sri Lanka for the two weeks prior, this just felt a little lacking in authenticity which was surprising especially as it is not an international chain. Perhaps it was just a quiet time and we only stayed 2 nights so didn’t get to fully immerse. The location was too far for us from the local town, it’s quite remote which for some is probably ideal but if you are looking to explore you will have to get a tuktuk or taxi around - and beware the hotel bump the rate up hugely if you book through them (airport transfer quoted $270 vs $60 when booked through a local guide). Overall a good stay, made better by exceptional service, but for the price I wanted it to feel a little more special!

Just stunning

This resort is next level, from friendliness of staff, quality and options in dining choices, we were privileged to be upgraded to a pool villa that was simply huge and stunning and on our last day were given a late checkout that exceeded expectations.
Our only disappointment is that we have to leave however we will definitely be back. Thank you Shan and team for such an enjoyable stay.

Wonderful place with spacious rooms and plenty of swimming pools. Shame can't visit the beach whilst we were there. But the spa make up for it. Mega and her colleague are both wonderful therapists. Breakfast french toast is th best I've had.

We had the most unforgettable stay at Cape Weligama while celebrating our anniversary. From the moment we arrived, the warmth and hospitality stood out — and to our surprise, we were upgraded to a stunning luxury villa room with the breathtaking beach view & pool. 🌊🌴

Every detail felt thoughtful — from the anniversary cake to the little celebratory touches that made us feel truly special. The staff made us feel less like guests and more like part of their story.

It’s rare to find a place that balances luxury with genuine care. This one does it beautifully.
Can’t wait to return — with a few more reasons to celebrate! 💙

What a view! The moon pool is stunning! The Forrest school for the kids is perfect as they learn a lot vs traditional kids club. The breakfast is up to Relais and Chateaux standards with a view over the Ocean. We also experimented the SPA and the quality of the treatment was excellent. I would come back and highly recommend it for couples or family with kids.

From the moment you step into cape welligama to the moment you leave, you are being looked after by the staff with such immense care and attention to detail. The responsiveness and personalisation is excellent, and a level of service I have not encountered in any hotel before.
The resort is well set up for young families, and our room had easy access to what felt like a very private swimming pool. The swimming pools are set to have great views, and we had monkeys and peacocks come to say hello.
The food was delicious and dinner menu changed every night. The chef came to ask for feedback regularly and even made a custom dish on request.
The rooms feel large and open, yet are warm and cosy, with great modern facilities. The property benefits from being fairly new, versus other more grand yet tired hotels we stayed in our trip in Srilanka.
Overall a beautifully maintained, scenic hotel with great facilities for children and an amazing service.

Excellent stay

Absolutely wonderful experience. We treated ourselves as it was a significant birthday and we were not disappointed. Our only issue was that the choice of food was so expensive it could have done with a range. Similarly , for the prices paid it seemed that some of the activities could have been provided as complimentary for example some water sports or spa treatments. We would have liked to visit local restaurants but there are not really any nearby and two of our party arrived ill so we needed to eat in the resort. Apart from that it was fabulous and nothing was too much trouble for the lovely staff.
The rooms we had were one above the other. Ours was easily accessed but our companions (adult offspring) was almost inaccessible. Would have been better to have rooms next to each other. Instead we had a very noisy family with many children next door.
They gave us the most wonderful evening to remember for my birthday which was absolutely magical!

Wonderful Honeymoon Experience

The grounds of the hotel and views were spectacular. We spent each of our 6 days at the moon pool and felt so lucky to be relaxing next to such a breathtaking view. Whilst we were there it was very quiet around the resort (a staff member told us that only 20 people were staying at that time) which we loved as it meant the staff were very attentive. The service at the pool was great, the pool men were so good at anticipating if you wanted to move into the shade or sun and kept bringing ice cold water for us. We used the gym once and were impressed by its facilities. We also participated in a complimentary yoga class, 2 guests didn't show up so it was just us - it felt like a private lesson!

Our room rated included afternoon tea which we absolutely loved. Each day we would sit out on the verandah of the bar, bask in the views and enjoy our afternoon tea. The staff were great and on a few occasions that my husband was still hungry they brought us more sandwiches. I loved the tea collection. The breakfast was delicious and we dined there 5 nights and each night our food was also very good. On our last night my husband organised a candlelit dinner for us which we really enjoyed, a perfect ending to our honeymoon! The room was massive, so much space for just the two of us. We loved the bathroom as it had sea views and loved the huge balcony. We were very impressed with the butler service and the general cleaning of our room each day; we also loved the laundry service and minibar.

Quiet village feel

We really like the \"village\" concept at Cape Weligama. It managed to feel very quiet and peaceful despite having nearly 40 villas and 14 pools. We saw iguanas, kingfishers and mongoose in our garden which made it feel happily un-sterile and unresort-y.
The High Tea included as part of the rate was a lovely touch and much appreciated.
The staff were charming and friendly with out being over obsequious.
Our only slight critique of the design would be the use of new shiny terracotta roof tiles throughout and the Thai feel to the design which felt odd in Sri Lanka - but perhaps we are not typical of the luxury market Cape Weligama is appealing to.

Det var inte värt pengarna. Detta var vårt fjärde 5-stjärniga hotell på Sri Lanka och suveränt dyrast och tyvärr sämst. Rummet var fint med underbart badrum och snygg stor garderob men det luktade gammal källare i sovrummet. Vi fick en myggspray för att dölja doften men det hjälpte bara en kort stund. Alla våra kläder och väskor luktade unket efter resan. Maten var alldeles för dyr på hotellet. Den kostade mer än dubbelt så mycket jämfört med alla andra hotell på Sri Lanka och den var inte godare. Det var det enda hotellet som skrev allt i dollar; det såg billigare ut på det sättet. Inte någonstans stod det heller att de la till nästan 30% skatt på priserna och detta gjorde inget annat hotell på ön. Stället är vackert men jag rekommenderar inte det!

An oasis of luxury and comfort

They care for you in every aspect, the food was consistently superb, we had a three course dinner every day including sashimi and tartar as starters, a very nice mix of locally inspired and international food selection. The chef especially cared for the desires of our young ladies 9 and 10 years old. The hotel resort itself s luxurious in evry aspect, golf cara hover you around, the views are sheer stunning. A higlight s the moonppol infinity edge. Galke s very close and worth a visit, we also embarked on a great safari trip to Udawalawa. We miss caoe Weligana so much and will surely return.

コロンボから2時間半かかって真夜中3時に到着しくたくただったが、レセプションでは笑顔のスタッフと冷たいミントティの出迎えがとてもうれしかった！施設内で全て完結する仕組みもよくできていて、スタッフがぴったりと1人ついてくれるので困ることもない。すべての予約を任せられるし、出かける予定を一緒に考えてくれたり、洗濯物もすべてやってくれる。景色もみたことのないほど広いインド洋が目の前に広がり、どこにいても満足できる。なによりスタッフ全員が子供にフレンドリーなのがありがたい。
