TRAVEL FOCUS
CAPE WELIGAMA, SRI LANKA
Relax and revitalise at the luxurious coastal resort of Cape Weligama in southern Sri Lanka this summer. The clifftop locale gives panoramic views of the Indian Ocean, as 39 suites and villas create the illusion of a welcoming Sri Lankan village nestled into the headland. Visit the recently opened Spa Sanctuary for a treatment by Thémaé, whose products and therapies are inspired by the art of tea, or embrace the active wellness programmes for stand-up paddle boarding, yoga and sunset meditation. resplendentceylon.com/capeweligama
