27 km south of Galle. Pleasantly located between jungle and beach, Weligama, whose name means "the sandy village", offers everything one could need for a quiet stay. Weligama is famous for the small island of Taprobane which can be seen a few meters from the beach. Today it is the only private island in the country and it is home to a luxurious villa built in the 1920s, accessible to the wealthy. It was the place where the American Paul Bowles (1910-1999) stayed in the 1950s, when he wrote his novel The Spider's House, or more recently the pop star Kylie Minogue, who dedicated a song to Taprobane.
