Protecting the marine environment
Beach Clean-ups
At Parangi Weligama Bay, we understand the significance of preserving the striking beauty of the Indian Ocean that surrounds our tropical island. To combat marine pollution and promote ocean activism, we actively engage in regular beach clean-ups. By clearing the coastal line and creating awareness about the importance of ocean preservation, these clean-ups contribute to maintaining the purity of our beaches and inspire positive environmental moods.
While the allure of our ocean views is undeniable, the true impact of beach clean-ups on ocean restoration is often underestimated. Parangi Weligama Bay takes pride in leading beach clean-up projects, recognizing their crucial role in creating a ripple effect of preserving the ocean’s pristine condition. These initiatives serve as powerful tools to raise awareness among both locals and tourists about the urgent need to protect our oceans from pollution.
Our commitment to environmental consciousness extends to instilling a sense of responsibility for future generations. By engaging in beach clean-ups and promoting ocean stewardship, we aim to foster a culture of respect for marine ecosystems and the natural beauty of our surroundings. Parangi Weligama Bay stands firm in its dedication to preserving the ocean and ensuring that younger generations can enjoy the pristine beaches and sparkling waters for years to come.

Once known as the Kabaragalla Tea Factory, Tea & Experience Factory holds a beautiful little piece of Sri Lanka’s tea story. Back in 1883, at the very first tea auction, it was only Kabaragalla tea that was sold. Today, the factory has been transformed into a hotel, but its story still lives on right here at the property, in the old spaces, the tea-making legacy, and the charm that still lingers within its walls.

Have you ever wondered why hundreds of wild elephants gather at Minneriya every year? 🐘🌿
It all begins with the dry season.
From July to September, the waters of the ancient Minneriya Tank gradually start to dry up, revealing fresh green grass that elephants love to feed on. One by one, herds emerge from the surrounding forests until the grasslands are home to one of the largest gatherings of wild Asian elephants anywhere in the world.
It`s not a migration, it`s nature following a rhythm that has existed for centuries.
Experience this unforgettable moment with our naturalists at Aliya Resort & Spa by Thema Collection. Go beyond the safari as they share the fascinating stories, behaviours, and conservation significance behind the Elephant Gathering, making your journey through Minneriya National Park even more meaningful.
