Cape Weligama

About the project

A five-star luxury resort set on the cliffs above the Indian Ocean. Awarded One Michelin Key, part of the Relais & Châteaux collection and the only luxury hotel in Sri Lanka to win the rare Condé Nast Traveller Triple Crown.

The film is built around the openness of the location: the view of the ocean, the scale of the landscape and the way architecture and coastline shape the experience of the resort.

Its 39 villas and suites are spread across twelve tropical acres, with gardens named after explorers and writers and the Moon Pool, a 60-metre crescent of water curving around the summit of the cape. Because almost every space here is turned towards the horizon, the film starts from the view outward rather than from the rooms inward.
