Marriott Resort and Spa makes waves in Weligama

Opened just two months ago, the resort has quickly proven to be quite the hit among locals and foreign travellers alike, with its offering of modern global hospitality blended with the unique flavours of a charming fishing village. From sun, sea and surfing to great rooms, super food and warm people, Marriott Resort and Spa has it all and a stay here is sure to satisfy anyone.

The property offers 198 beautifully-designed expansive rooms and suites, right in the heart of Weligama Bay, a surfer’s paradise. Whatever your purpose – a mini break, a destination wedding or corporate event – it’s certainly a blissful place to be.

In terms of design, the property incorporates local elements throughout the hotel, with a focus on lace-making, stilt fishing and terracotta. The rooms are designed to please in every sense and the sea views, bath tubs, 55-inch smart TVs and super comfy beds with intelligent mattresses in every room ensure a great experience for all guests. What all this does is make it very hard to leave the room, but eventually the beach, the spa, and most of all the food, beckon. Find some time for the Quan Spa if you are able to – the therapists are outstanding and the treatments are terrific. With five treatment rooms and a couple’s therapy room, it offers a range of therapies which are reasonably priced.
