“An oceanfront address worth travelling to Sri Lanka for.”

Cape Weligama occupies a 12-acre headland on Sri Lanka’s southern coast, with 39 spacious suites and villas, terracota buildings and a crescent-shaped infinity pool overlooking the Indian Ocean. Part of the family-owned Resplendent Ceylon collection and a member of Relais & Châteaux, the resort places particular emphasis on Sri Lankan cuisine, with locally sourced seafood, regional recipes and an intimate chef’s table experience. Beyond the hotel, guests can surf in Weligama Bay, explore the historic streets of Galle Fort or join naturalist-led whale watching excursions. Its combination of generous accommodation, serious food and one of the coast’s most memorable swimming pools makes it a particularly compelling address.

The Find

Hotel

Asia, Sri Lanka

From $290

The Find is a nine-room, adults-only hotel on the beach in Ahangama, on Sri Lanka's southern coast. Every room faces the Indian Ocean, and the interiors are kept minimal, in earthy browns and sand tones, with pieces by local artists and a few touches of gold. The hotel deliberately keeps its offer simple, with no packed schedule of activities, so days are shaped around the sea and the slow pace of the coast. Ahangama has become one of the island's quiet hubs for surf, art and small, independent stays, with well-known breaks like Midigama nearby, and the old Dutch fort of Galle is a short drive away.

PALM

Hotel

Asia, Sri Lanka

From $150

PALM brings a distinctly modernist edge to Sri Lanka’s tropical south coast, replacing the area’s familiar colonial villas with black steel, corrugated metal, polished concrete and floor-to-ceiling glass. Its A-frame cabanas sit among coconut palms and dense greenery, while the central pavilion, built around repurposed shipping containers, brings the restaurant, bar and pool together around a single palm tree.

Wild Coast Tented Lodge

Hotel

Asia, Sri Lanka

From $735

On Sri Lanka’s southeastern coast, Wild Coast Tented Lodge brings together safari, wildlife and the beach in a setting that remains unusually rare. Bordering Yala National Park and the Indian Ocean, the lodge is made up of cocoon-shaped tents and pavilions that together trace the outline of a leopard’s paw, a reference to the park’s most iconic resident. The suites combine canvas shells, four-poster beds, freestanding copper bathtubs and jungle-facing glazing, while the setting places coastal vegetation, wild shoreline and one of Sri Lanka’s richest wildlife areas within the same stay.

Hotel Miramalfi

Hotel

Europe, Italy

From $850

Hotel Miramalfi sits on the cliffs at the western edge of Amalfi, about ten minutes on foot from the cathedral and the harbor, on Italy’s Amalfi Coast. Built into the rock above the sea, it has sea-view rooms with tiled floors and terraces, a saltwater pool with a poolside bar and a private sea platform for swimming and snorkeling in the Mediterranean. Guests can unwind at the spa and wellness center, eat at the hotel’s restaurants with views of the coast, and leave the car with the free valet, a rare convenience in Amalfi. Breakfast is included, and small pets are welcome.
