Cape Weligama

#1 · Resplendent Ceylon (Relais & Châteaux)

Cape Weligama

Cape Weligama is Resplendent Ceylon's adults-leaning sister to Ceylon Tea Trails — 39 villas and suites strung along a 12-acre promontory south of Galle, with an infinity pool that genuinely looks engineered for photography. The cliff-top setting is unmatched on the south coast: every villa has private outdoor space, the larger ones a plunge pool. Service is the calmest in Sri Lanka. Pair with three nights at Tea Trails for the country's most refined seven-night route.

From £850/night
