We stayed in a beautifully appointed Grand Ocean Villa, which offers a private pool as well as being steps away from the stunning 60-meter cliff edge, Moon pool. The suite, complete with generous bedroom, lounge and bar entertainment area, a large private ocean view terrace, walk-in closet, and a WC with full views from the luxury of its oval freestanding bathtub, as well as a private sauna is great for couples or a small family. The quietly tasteful interior with a beautiful neutral palette and highly functional wooden furniture provides a warm homely feel where every convenience is considered. Coffee drinkers thumb up for the easy to use the illy-coffee machine! Teetotaler’s, don't miss Dilmah’s finest….
Venura our courteous guest liaison was present to ensure our stay was beyond expectation. I am hard pushed to believe this is in fact his job as much as his pleasure. Extraordinary. The culinary experience, led by Executive Chef Nishantha offered beautiful, uncomplicated yet refined dishes, each one memorable. Impressive too is the excellent quality of bread and croissants freshly baked onsite. We thoroughly enjoyed a seven-course menu in a private dining room, prepared and served with easy conversation and great sequence of service! As our stay fell over World Environment Day, we were invited to plant a rare Ceylon Ebony tree, together with the resorts resident naturalist Sam. This was a thoughtful and fitting activity, which felt great to be included in. Our farewell was surprising, warm and truly memorable. We hope to return and look forward to exploring sister properties, Tea Trails, and the Wild Coast Tented Lodges in the future. Cape Weligama is a wonderful escape, credit to the extraordinary teamwork of talented professionals who love what they do. The resort oozes real luxury in that quiet, graceful, uncompromising way, and seems to know its place; allowing nature to shine through and steal the limelight. Simply put – resplendent.
