Curated Experiences

Take to the skies for some beautiful Sri Lankan scenery on this curated helicopter tour, with views of the central highlands, Adam’s Peak and World’s End at Horton Plains National Park, followed by lunch and exclusive curated experiences at Ceylon Tea Trails.

A guided, detailed exploration into the technically complex, sensory layers of Sri Lankan cuisine, hosted by Chef Vinnol. The experience is designed to answer the “why’s” and “how’s” of our cooking, our ingredients, our flavours and our recipes.

Take advantage of world-famous Weligama waves while staying here at Cape Weligama. We have customized programs for any keen surfer, from total beginners who want to get a taste of surfing, to those who have surfed before but struggle to catch waves with confidence, all the way to the advanced surfer looking to improve their style..

Set sail on Cape Weligama’s signature Ocean Safari experience, in search of blue and sperm whales, spinner dolphins and other marine wildlife. The experience is guided by a naturalist and includes a scrumptious breakfast on board.

The design of the villas and suites, our coastline, and the balmy rural vibe of southern Sri Lanka create the canvas for a wide selection of wellness options for our guests. We broadly categorize them into options linked to rest and relaxation and active-based.

Take a ride through the leafy, scenic back-roads of a typical southern village that lies inland from Weligama. The trail snakes its way alongside lush rice paddies, rubber and cinnamon estates, small-holder plantations and home gardens, places of worship, rural homes.

An intimate, "chefs table" style dining experience. Sit around one of our three experienced chefs as they guide you through a degustation menu that is as creative as it is delicious.

The walk focuses on the host’s experience of growing up in the Galle Fort and presenting it not as a tourist attraction, but an extension of his “home” – a home filled with history, heritage, cultural integration and soul.

We have a collection of yummy, interactive and immersive culinary experiences for kids with a local twist, tailored for various age levels. Kids enjoy making the local favourite “coconut and treacle pancakes”, or coconut and cinnamon cookies.

Southern Sri Lanka is famous for arts and crafts, and our adventure centre offers a world of option for active families. Island Colours replicates our famous “batik” craft by painting colourfully on fabric to make home-made shawls, sarongs etc. (great gift for parents!).

A must-try Cape Weligama breakfast option to immerse guests into traditional Sri Lankan cuisine. The menu is designed for the traveller who is curious about authentic local fare and isn't shy about being ravenous.

This is a low-country tea plantation within sniffing distance of the sea, owned by third-generation planter and author Herman Gunarathne. Famed for its ‘virgin white tea’, which retails for over US$1,500/kg, and stocks the shelves of tip-top tea gourmet Mariage Frères in Paris.

We can arrange unguided visits to places of interest such as Devundara Temple and the Dondra lighthouse, a turtle hatchery, beaches and bays.

A stone’s throw from Cape Weligama, the village of Weligama is one of our island’s most beautiful bays. Surfers ride waves that roll up to sandy beaches; fishing boats and sunbathing visitors strewn along the beach.
