Cape Weligama

Resplendent Ceylon (Relais & Châteaux) · Clifftop villa resort · Weligama promontory, east of Galle on the south coast

Thirty-nine suites and standalone villas spread across a clifftop promontory above the Indian Ocean, each with veranda, steam room and private or semi-private garden. The crescent moon pool hangs over the sea, and the kitchen leans on the day's local catch alongside Sri Lankan and international cooking.

Why we recommend it

The south coast's most polished resort and the natural ocean counterpoint to Ceylon Tea Trails under the same Dilmah-family ownership; a Condé Nast Traveller Triple Crown holder.
