From the Hindu and Buddhist artefacts in the ruins of the first capital of Ceylon to the Dutch colonial lighthouses and palatial houses, Jaffna is culturally rich and fascinating to explore. Spend a day strolling along the beach and return to the hotel for mutton or seafood curry, or a dip in the pool surrounded by trees. The six superior rooms are in the old part of the hotel, and there are newer rooms in the more modern blocks that sit by the pool.
Conveniently located on the ground floor is the main villa, the Superior Rooms and double rooms have a queen-sized bed. Swathed in soothing white from floor to ceiling, the vibrant paintings add the right pop of colour to the rooms. The comfortable seating areas allows guests to relax and bask in the tranquillity of environs. The well-equipped bathroom comes with free toiletries.

There is no bar and the only alcohol served is wine and beer, but there are plenty of restaurants close by if you fancy something different
There is no spa on site, but there is an outdoor pool for when it’s time to relax
Families are welcome but there are no specific facilities for kids.
