Weligama
A private island villa just off the coast at Weligama.
Weligama is a wide bay on the south coast, a fishing town with a beach popular with beginner surfers. Two of Sri Lanka's most striking stays are here: Taprobane Island, a tiny villa on a rock offshore, and Cape Weligama, a resort above the cliffs.
The cliff-top retreats have views over the bay, while the town has guesthouses near the beach.
The sea is calm from November to April. Stilt fishermen can be seen at nearby Koggala.
