The best family holidays aren't planned around the parents. They're planned around everyone.
The New Zealand Herald maps out a teen-friendly Sri Lanka itinerary — and finds that this island has a rare gift for meeting every generation exactly where they are. Wildlife that stops you mid-sentence. Landscapes that pull even the most distracted eyes away from a screen. Experiences that become the stories families still tell years later.

Where the sky meets the sea, and the sea meets design.

Architectural Digest turns its eye to Cape Weligama's crescent-shaped Moon Pool — and finds more than a place to swim. A symbol of infinity, perched at the clifftop edge where architecture dissolves into ocean, and beyond it, the endless Indian Ocean frequented by surfers.

Some things are designed. This one was destined.

"At the edge of the property lies the crescent-shaped moon pool — an in-house symbol of infinity connecting sky, sea and architecture."

A year-round destination. Always has been.

The Economic Times India explores the story behind Resplendent Ceylon — a family-owned collection rooted in the legacy of Dilmah Tea, two decades in the making, and still growing. Through Easter, through a pandemic, through economic upheaval — the island endured, and so did the belief in what Sri Lanka could be for the world's travellers.

Things are looking positive. We always knew they would.

On July 3rd, we spent the day at the MJF Centre with 35 incredible women and girls from the Weligama community, in partnership with Selyn Foundation's program. Together, we opened up honest conversations about menstrual health — the science behind it, the myths that still hold women back, and sustainable choices that are better for both our bodies and the planet.

As part of the day, Cape Weligama sponsored 10 reusable sanitary napkin kits, helping these women take a step toward more sustainable, dignified period care.

This isn't new for us. We've already run this same workshop for our own staff, and we provide free period products to both our guests and team members. Now, we're proud to carry that same commitment beyond our walls and into the community that surrounds us.

Menstrual health shouldn't be a taboo — it should be a conversation everyone has access to.

Emerald Season. Sri Lanka's best kept secret.

Gafencu Magazine's June issue captures it perfectly — May to November is not the off-season. It is the right season. Lush landscapes, vibrant wildlife, a calendar alive with culture — from the Esala Perahera to the Minneriya Elephant Gathering — and an island that reveals an entirely different, more intimate side of itself.

The travellers who know, know.

"Emerald Season is when Sri Lanka feels most alive."

Wellness, reimagined. Sri Lanka, rediscovered.

We are honoured that Condé Nast Traveller has named Kayaam Wellness among the best spa hotels in Sri Lanka for a wellness break — a recognition of the deeply considered approach to Ayurveda, restorative living, and the kind of stillness that only this island can offer.

Bespoke programmes. Stylish design. Cuisine that nourishes as much as it delights. And all of it rooted in the rhythms of Sri Lanka.

Some breaks restore you. This one transforms you.

An island smaller than Castilla-La Mancha. A variety that defies every expectation.

We are grateful to Spain's laSexta and Marina Comes for making the journey — and for capturing what makes Sri Lanka so impossible to put into words. A coastline that stirs something in you. Wilderness that reminds you how wild the world still is. Highlands that ask you to slow down and breathe it all in.

Three properties. One island. Endless reasons to return.

"It's smaller than Castilla-La Mancha, but with an incredible variety."
