Resplendent Ceylon has launched the Cove Beach Club at Cape Weligama, an inspired expansion to its celebrated oceanfront resort on Sri Lanka’s southern coast.

The Cove introduces a fresh coastal gathering place that artfully balances seclusion with connectivity, design with play and culinary flair with natural serenity.

“The Cove is about expanding the ways our guests connect with this remarkable coastline,” said Cape Weligama Managing Director, Malik J. Fernando.

“Our clifftop setting is dramatic and inspiring, but the bay below offers intimacy and playfulness. Together, they create a balance that is uniquely Cape Weligama.”

He said the Cove has been conceived as an oceanfront sanctuary where the pace of the day ebbs and flows with the sea.

“At its heart are rustic-chic thatched pavilions and an open-air bar, inviting guests to recline with chilled spritzers and signature cocktails,” Fernando said.

“A menu of fresh ceviche, oysters, tapas and tacos complements the laid-back mood, while a beach tennis court, pétanque and calm bay waters provide playful diversions under the Sri Lankan sun.”

Since its opening in 2014, Cape Weligama has been celebrated for its sweeping headland views and private villa residences.

Fernando said the Cove extends this vision, offering guests a new way to engage with the landscape – immersive, relaxed and shaped by the rhythms of the sea.

The Cove is redefining beachside leisure on the island’s southern shores.

“Whether for sun-drenched afternoons, golden hour cocktails or unhurried evenings by the water, it is deemed to become a natural gathering place – a new heartbeat at the edge of Cape Weligama,” Fernando said.
