Welcome to The Glade

Where Stillness Meets Southern Splendour

Tucked away in the lush coastal village of Weligama, The Glade is a boutique villa offering six beautifully appointed suites. Seven minutes from the beach, surrounded by tropical gardens and the gentle rhythms of Sri Lankan life.

The Pool

A freeform outdoor pool set among tropical gardens, with separate areas for children and adults, sun loungers, and the sound of nothing in particular. Mornings here are unhurried by design.

The Suites

Six suites across two designs — two Deluxe Garden Suites and four Premium Chalet Suites — each with a private terrace and interiors drawn from Sri Lankan craft.

The River

A boardwalk winds through coastal wetlands to a thatched pavilion perched over the river — The Glade's most singular experience, and one unlike anything nearby.

More Than a Location

The southern coast is a destination in its own right — and The Glade sits at its heart.

7 min drive

The Beach

Weligama Bay stretches along one of Sri Lanka's most relaxed southern shores — gentle waves, fishing boats, and a pace that matches the property.

Slow & calm

The Culture

Weligama moves at its own unhurried pace — fishing boats at dawn, the warmth of local life, and a rhythm unlike anywhere else on the Indian Ocean.

The Surf

Weligama is one of Sri Lanka's most celebrated surf breaks. Whether you ride or just watch, the culture of the south coast is present in everything here.

The private riverside setting is unlike anything else in the area. Amazing units, exceptional wildlife — we spotted crocodiles and kingfishers from the bank. Ranidu and the team were incredibly helpful. Outstanding value.
