Cape Weligama, Sri Lanka

Set high on Sri Lanka’s stunning southern cliffs, Cape Weligama is one of the flagship properties in the Resplendent Ceylon collection, an award-winning collection of luxury resorts founded by the Fernando family, creators of Dilmah Ceylon Tea. As a member of Relais & Châteaux, Cape Weligama promises five-star service, world-class cuisine and unforgettable ocean views. To maintain this exceptional guest experience, the resort recently upgraded its sound system using Void Acoustics.

With guest satisfaction central to its ethos, Cape Weligama sought a premium audio solution that would integrate seamlessly with its elegant architecture while enhancing its signature atmosphere. Building on the success of their collaboration at Kayaam House, the resort’s parent group, Resplendent Ceylon, once again partnered with Sri Lankan distributor and integrator Digital Ear Pvt Ltd, Void Acoustics’ exclusive regional partner with more than five years’ experience in creating premium audio environments."

The resort’s management wanted to replace an under performing legacy system with a powerful, flexible and aesthetically impactful solution. The key challenge was delivering this upgrade within a tight installation timeline, ensuring minimal visual intrusion while maximising performance across key hospitality zones.

Two central areas were selected for the upgrade:   

• The Atlas – Cape Weligama’s all-day dining venue now features Void’s Cyclone 55 weather-resistant loudspeakers powered by a Void Bias D1+ amplifier. The system delivers warm, ambient sound at low volumes, ideal for creating a relaxed yet immersive dining environment. 
• The Society – A refined tea lounge by day and vibrant sundowner space by night, The Society required a versatile system to support both moods. Digital Ear installed a combination of Cyclone 55 and Cyclone 4 speakers, powered by the Void Inca 500 amplifier, to enable seamless transitions in audio dynamics.

Speaker placement was carefully mapped to complement the venue’s architecture, with all equipment chosen for its ability to perform without disrupting the resort’s visual identity. The result is a balanced, high-fidelity sound experience that feels organic.

“Partnering with Resplendent Ceylon and the team at Cape Weligama has been a remarkable opportunity to demonstrate how carefully integrated audio can elevate the sensory experience of a venue,” said Haren Perera, Managing Director at Digital Ear Pvt Ltd. “Our goal was to complement the resort’s refined design with discreet yet powerful sound solutions that enrich every moment for their guests.”

The response to the Void Acoustic installations has been overwhelmingly positive. Staff appreciated the system’s user-friendliness, and guests relished in the immersive sound. With this project, Void Acoustics continues to strengthen its footprint across Asia’s high-end hospitality sector, offering truly unique sound solutions like no other.
