Cape Weligama Celebrates 10th Anniversary with Exciting Refresh
Cape Weligama, the celebrated Relais & Châteaux property and part of Resplendent Ceylon, is delighted to announce a deep refresh in celebration of its 10th anniversary.
Cape will reopen Dec 2 with upgraded facilities and services to cement its position as the foremost luxury beach destination in Sri Lanka and the Jewel of the South Coast.
This comprehensive refresh aims to further enrich the local Sri Lankan tropical coastal vibe. It will create a stronger sense of place and offer curated experiences, designed to elevate the guest experience and ensuring Cape Weligama continues to exceed guest expectations with exceptional hospitality and unmatched luxury.
Malik J. Fernando, Chairman of Resplendent Ceylon, expresses enthusiasm “We are delighted to celebrate Cape Weligama’s 10th anniversary in true Resplendent style. From its origins as a sleepy fishing village Cape Weligama has blossomed into the vibrant epicentre of the Southern Riviera with a vibrant beach scene, surfing, bars, restaurants, whale watching and cinnamon estates likened to the Shoreditch area of East London by Conde Nast Traveller.”
Key feature of the refresh include:
