THE BAY OF DREAMS.. Situated in a tree – fringed canopy, overlooking a sparkling bay is found one of the most outstanding hotels in all of Sri Lanka. The breathtakingly beautiful Bay Beach Hotel. The Weligama Bay with a flotilla of boats, gently heaving with the swell of the ocean lies below you. And around you, you're own little cove and your portion of paradise. This is a dream come true.
