Summer at Cape Weligama

Local Market – Welcoming local vendors from Weligama, this pop-up market brings a variety of artisans and craftspeople to our doorstep. Engage with the intricacies of Beeralu Lace Making, vibrant paintings created by the students of Sumangala Vidyalaya, or try your hand at pottery making and carving. Ignite your creativity with mask painting or explore the artistry of batik and immerse yourself in the rich local culture and treasures without leaving the comfort of Cape Weligama.

Mask Making – Experience a block of wood being hammered and chipped into the shape of a face. Your host will explain mask making and its many uses in our culture and the final step is to paint. There are other masks to use as a guide, although the fun and thrill is to veer off the original design and inspire change.

Cape Social – A vibrant event at Cape Weligama! Join us thrice a week from 6.00 P.M. to 7.00 P.M. to savour local cocktails paired with delectable canapés inspired by the region. Engage with fellow in-house guests or connect with our esteemed ambassadors and create unforgettable memories.

Kids Surfing – Cape Weligama offers thrilling and safe experiences for young surfers. With expert instructors and beautiful beaches, Weligama is perfect for kids of all skill levels. They’ll learn to ride waves, understand ocean safety, and develop a love for the sport in this unforgettable destination.

Ice Cream for the Soul – What’s summer without some flavourful ice cream? Dig into island flavours like cashew, mango, passion fruit, coconut and rambutan. It’s cold, refreshing and most importantly delicious!

The Heartbeat of Our Community – The first centre fully supported by Resplendent Ceylon, the MJF Centre at Cape Weligama supports the community living around our resort. The Centre operates as a pre-school throughout the week, where children have the opportunity to learn and play while developing their social skills. After school hours, older children are provided with additional support in lessons such as science and mathematics in preparation for the fifth-grade scholarship undertaken in Sri Lanka’s schooling system. A special programme for women and youth in terms of livelihoods and life skills support was also introduced in recent years. As a guest, you are able to visit the centre during its operating hours, any day of the week, and participate in some of the programmes, lending towards our efforts of sharing knowledge and uplifting the community.
