Twenty-Two Weligambay

Honest review

The numbers first: 174 km from Colombo airport, around three hours' transfer. That is the price of southern Sri Lanka without the crowds — and in the case of this boutique resort it is justified.

The chief asset is the position at the very edge of the water with direct access to the beach: not "five minutes' walk" but genuinely sand beyond the doorstep.

Advice for the active: this is exactly the place to try surfing for the first time and take on the water; for those at ease with depth there are scuba dives and the marine life to watch.

Give the evenings to gastronomy: venues with ocean views and fusion cooking rich in fresh seafood and fine spices.

Service is in the hands of a team of professionals with more than thirty years in hospitality. The format is intimate, so the resort particularly suits families and small parties who value attention over scale.
