Guests highlight the Premier Villa’s spaciousness, private pool, and large outdoor shower as exceptional features. The staff receive consistent praise for being warm, attentive, and providing personalized service, including dedicated service members. Multiple reviews commend the quality and variety of food, including Sri Lankan breakfast options and outstanding tasting menus prepared by renowned chefs. The two pools and beachfront club provide excellent swimming and snorkeling experiences, with lifeguards noted for their care. The hotel’s quiet, lush setting with beautiful ocean views creates a tranquil and relaxing environment. Some guests found the spa expensive and not up to the same standard as other hotel services. A few noted that the dinner menu could include more Sri Lankan-inspired dishes to better reflect local cuisine. One review mentioned occasional gender bias in staff attention, with male guests receiving more acknowledgment than female guests. WiFi speed was reported as slower than expected by some visitors.

We stayed at Cape Weligama in Dec 2025 for our honeymoon and both felt it was one of the nicest hotels we have been to in the world.
First of all, the property is beautiful and well maintained. It is lush and green and the pools are both great. The newest beachfront club is perfect for a day of swimming and snorkeling - shout out to the lifeguard on duty for taking such great care of us.
The staff is exceptionally trained, we had a dedicated service member that was available at all times. Service is always fast and efficient.
The food is truly incredible and what you would expect from world class chefs. For new year’s we had a full celebration including a delicious 5 course menu.
And lastly our room the Premier Villa was beyond expectations. Spacious with a huge shower, outdoor area and semi private pool. The only reason to leave the resort is to take a surf class or schedule an excursion. Can only say great things about this hotel and can’t wait to discover the other resplendent Ceylon properties. Thank you for making our honeymoon so memorable.

Amazing hotel and the best of the 3 Resplendent properties in our opinion. We stayed with our kids aged 3 and 2 for three nights. The room was an amazing villa with a shared pool and we got the all inclusive package so we never needed to leave. Great service by Chef Hemant, Mitul, and Brenden. The manager of the property was very responsive and personable as well. As vegetarians we had tacos, nachos, penne pasta in a pink sauce and many other options that we only had to request. One of the best hotels we ever stayed at!

This was our fourth stop in Sri Lanka, and Cape Weligama made our honeymoon feel truly magical. The moment we walked into our room our jaws dropped — it was by far the most luxurious accommodation of our entire trip. The hotel is set out as a series of separate buildings across a beautifully designed complex, and we were lucky enough to be staying in a bungalow that shared a private pool.

On our first night we dined in the main restaurant. The food was good — on par with several of the places we’d stayed earlier in the holiday — though perhaps not quite as exceptional as everything else the hotel offers. The following evening, however, we tried the “Tableau” tasting menu experience, and it was absolutely outstanding. Five courses prepared right in front of us by Chef Erandu, who worked incredibly hard to create something genuinely special.

We made the mistake of getting up at 5am for a whale-watching trip (organised independently, nothing to do with the hotel). Having done one before, we should have known better — a long early-morning boat ride for the faintest glimpse of a blowhole or a passing dolphin fin. Meanwhile, back at the hotel, the wildlife was far more impressive: a salamander lizard, a porcupine, and an entire troop of monkeys roaming the gardens. We should have stayed put!

Special thanks to Tharindu and to Bandu at the bar, who both made our stay even more enjoyable.

Cape Weligama truly pulled out all the stops — a stunning, unforgettable part of our honeymoon.

Such a magical place! The hotel sits on a stunning cliffside with dramatic ocean views. We loved our suite, which was incredibly spacious and came with a steam room, a standalone bathtub and a beautiful shower. The overall design of the hotel is very thoughtful, built across different elevations with a beach club, two pools, several restaurants and a well-equipped gym.
Breakfast was a highlight, we looked forward to it every morning, especially the Sri Lankan options. What truly sets the hotel apart, though, is the staff. Everyone was warm, smiling and ready to help.
A couple of suggestions for improvement -we wished the dinner menu featured more Sri Lankan-inspired dishes. With such fresh and beautiful local ingredients available, it felt like a missed opportunity.
Lastly, and perhaps this is cultural, but I noticed that staff tended to prioritise greeting and serving my partner, who is male. At times they didn’t acknowledge or make eye contact with me, which felt disconcerting.
Overall, we had a wonderful stay and would still highly recommend this beautiful property.

We had a lovely stay at Cape Weligama. The staff were amazing - warm, attentive and genuinely thoughtful throughout our visit.

Our room was spacious, comfortable and had everything we needed - with easy access to the beach, pool and restaurant. The food was excellent with the Sri Lankan breakfast a real highlight and our spa massage was beautifully relaxing. The gym was also clean and well equipped.

The resort itself is stunning and the perfect place to unwind. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would happily return.

Excellent service and superb view. The pool is amazing and is a definite attraction. Looking forward to visit again.

Spacious elegant rooms, superb views and great dining.

Just around the corner from one of the few uncrowded surf spots in the Weligama area. Surf check during breakfast ..
Great (private) cooking class! Spa is not the best and rather overpriced. Don't miss out on the complementary high tea!
26.04.2021 Mudith
Amazing place with stunning Ocean view infinity pool, nature , very friendly staff, gorgeous food...lovely stay.
06.04.2021 timyee88
This is truely a special place. With only 39 villas at this cliff top resort, their focus on quality over quantity for all aspects of hotel operations is second to none. All the food is made in house with some of the best croissants and local ingredient jams you could find outside of France. And that magnificent view from almost every point of resort is breathtaking.
12.03.2021 Onella
was rainy the time we were here. Sports center staff are great, went body boarding and whale watching. Food was decent and premises calming and luscious. Good for quiet getaway. Tea time is a treat!
