The Cove Opens at Cape Weligama for Seaside Indulgence

Sri Lanka’s southern coastline has a new reason to linger a little longer. This September, Cape Weligama welcomes guests to The Cove Beach Club, a rustic-chic oceanfront hideaway designed to celebrate both leisure and community.

Tucked into the resort’s sweeping headland, The Cove blends island charm with coastal sophistication. Thatched pavilions, open-air seating, and a laid-back bar set the stage for afternoons that drift easily into golden sunsets. The menu takes its cues from the sea, with fresh, seasonal ingredients shaping light and creative dishes. Think tacos and ceviche perfect for sharing, alongside spritzers and handcrafted cocktails that echo the tropical rhythm.

But The Cove is more than a place to unwind—it invites play too. Guests can rally on the beach tennis court, try their hand at pétanque, or simply slip into the calm bay for a dip in crystal-clear waters. The balance of activity and relaxation makes it as fitting for families and friends as it is for couples seeking a romantic pause.

As the day closes, the horizon becomes the highlight: a fiery sunset melting into the Indian Ocean. With its blend of coastal dining, oceanfront leisure, and a touch of adventure, The Cove marks a vibrant new chapter in Cape Weligama’s story—one that feels at once timeless and refreshingly new.
