Welcome to The Glade

Where Stillness Meets Southern Splendour

Tucked away in the lush coastal village of Weligama, The Glade is a four-star boutique villa offering six beautifully appointed pool-view suites. Ten 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 a jacuzzi, sun loungers, and the sound of nothing in particular. Mornings here are unhurried by design.

The Suites

Six pool-view suites across two designs — a ground-floor Garden Suite and five A-frame Chalet Suites — each with a private terrace and interiors drawn from Sri Lankan craft.

Into the Wild

A boardwalk winds through coastal wetlands to a thatched river pavilion perched over the lagoon — 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.

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.

Food & life

The Culture

From morning fish markets to candlelit beach bars, Weligama moves at its own unhurried pace — warm, generous, and 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.
