Location

„The most beautiful sunset far famed“

The name Weligama symbolises the vast sandy beaches of the bay and is well-known for its stilt fishing, delicious seafood and traditional dance performances. Situated between the provincial capital Galle, with a world heritage site designated by UNESCO, and Matara, home to the Dondra Lighthouse, the location of the WBR offers the privacy of home living right on the beach. The history of the bay is one of romance - the French Count de Maunay spent part of his life in this region and fell in love with it so much that he decided to buy a tiny island in the heart of the bay where he built a magnificent home. Weligama bay is a three hour drive south of Colombo, only twenty minutes south of Galle, and just 10 minutes from Koggala airport. Leisure activities in Weligama are unlimited – from beach and water sports & activities, visiting Katalysa Temple and the Kustaraja figure to boutique shopping. It is also a perfect starting point to explore the Sinharaja Rainforest Reserve, Uda Walawe and Yala National Park, Horton Plains National Park, Nuwara Elyia´s famous tea plantations or the Kandy region.
