Cape Weligama – A Relais & Châteaux Jewel on Sri Lanka's Cliffs
For this Sri Lankan journey, I focused entirely on the southwest coast, basing myself near Galle Fort at the breathtaking Cape Weligama, a Relais & Châteaux property perched dramatically over the Indian Ocean. In Sri Lanka, life revolves around three essences: tea, wilderness, and the sea. Among Relais & Châteaux’s three Sri Lankan properties—each embodying one of these themes—Cape Weligama is the ocean’s masterpiece. 🌅 Sunset Rituals by the Cliffside Pool Every evening, I’d wander to the infinity-edged crescent pool, suspended high above the waves. Coconut palms swayed in the salty breeze, while the roaring surf below mirrored the pool’s gentle ripples—a hypnotic dance of nature and luxury. 🌊 A Legacy of Serendipity Sri Lanka, once called Serendip, inspired the word "serendipity"—the art of finding magic by chance. And magic is what Cape Weligama delivers: Cliffside cabanas with uninterrupted ocean vistas Private beaches accessible via secret pathways Gourmet dining featuring fresh crab and tropical fruits 🏝️ The Island State of Mind Here, time melts into sun-drenched idleness. Whether lounging in a canopied daybed or tracing the coastal footpaths, the resort embodies the soul of Sri Lanka’s golden age of travel—where every horizon whispers adventure. #IslandLife #LuxuryEscape #SriLankaTravel #RelaisChateaux #HiddenGems #OceanVibes
