Sanctuary Spa

Healing and Rejuvenation

The gentle melody of Indian Ocean waves breaking on the nearby shoreline and the sway of coconut palms overhead provide a quietly therapeutic setting for Cape Weligama’s luxurious spa experience. Whether you are looking for an express manicure, a soothing facial, a relaxing yoga session or a more lavish, stress-releasing body massage, our spa therapies are designed to nourish body and mind. Spa treatments can be carried out in the privacy of your room or in our Sanctuary Spa.

Some of our signature treatments include a body massage using homemade warm healing compresses; an exfoliation ritual using freshly crushed Ceylon tea leaves; and a novel hot lava shell massage, which is the world’s first self-heating massage therapy. We also offer Thai massages, deep tissue massages and express manicures/pedicures. Rooms at our resort are all equipped with steam showers and bathtubs to extend your private in-room pampering.

Key to our healing practice are two native Sri Lankan ingredients, Ceylon Tea and Ceylon Cinnamon, both of which we use liberally in our oils, scrubs and poultices. Ceylon Tea is thematic of Cape Weligama and this powerful antioxidant with anti-aging and calming properties helps stimulate circulation and promote detoxification. Sri Lanka produces the world’s finest cinnamon, and this subtly fragrant spice has been used for centuries in Ayurvedic medicine for its healing properties and as a remedy to many skin and health problems.
