Kai Reisen: Weligama

Weligama Sri Lanka

Just 6 kilometres from the lively Mirissa area on Sri Lanka’s southern coast, the village of Weligama and its sweeping bay—an ideal paradise for surfing and relaxation—unfolds. The bay itself includes several points of interest, among them Taprobane Beach, famous for its ancient islet that can be reached on foot at low tide. A historic refuge for cultures and writers, Taprobane today is home to a discreet hotel hidden among lush vegetation and trees, where the first fishermen of the morning head out to sea. Beyond its beaches, Weligama invites you to uncover other secrets, such as the Kushtarajagala archaeological site, where a statue of Natha Bodhisattva (a being aspiring to become a Buddha) is carved into the rock, or the unforgettable experience of whale watching in Sri Lanka, especially from November to April.
