  1. Malabar Hill

    Stay 80

    Fourteen villas perched on a hilltop above Weligama Bay, some facing forested slopes and some facing open sea. Malabar Hill is a boutique luxury resort that leans hard into antique furnishings and palace-adjacent drama while quietly running every modern comfort underneath. A saltwater infinity pool, a spa, and an open-air restaurant in the central Hill House rounding out a Sri Lankan menu built around traditional flavors. The Michelin Guide awarded it one Key.

    One honor, in evidence:

    The record strongest first

    One number, weighted & current 80

          Best Place Score

          The Best Place Score rates the area around a point, not any one place. Most of it is the record: the scored places within reach, weighed by distance, so more good stuff nearby means a higher score. The rest is how life is in that country and what it's like right there: how people rate their own lives, how long and how well they live, how safe they are, the air, and the weather. If it looks low, we probably haven't found enough critics out here yet.
