Why we recommend it

Weligama bay is wide and shallow, which is why it is where everyone learns to surf. That same shape makes it the easiest south-coast beach for families with small children.

Both our ten-night routes finish here, because two flat nights by the sea is the right way to end a trip that started inland.

Weligama Bay Resort is an official partner hotel of Genuine Sri Lankans, the company that plans and invoices your trip. The rate we quote comes officially from the hotel, so it is our own partner rate.

Is it right for you?

Good for

Families, first-time surfers, and a slow last two nights before flying home.

Not ideal for

Anyone wanting a quiet, empty beach. Weligama is busy and built up.

Worth knowing

The stilt fishermen along this coast will ask for a fee to photograph them. Agree it first.
