Trinco Blu by Cinnamon

Trincomalee, Sri Lanka
Luxury hotel banner
Trinco Blu, which lies midway between Trincomalee and Nilaveli, has the white sands of the beautiful east coast beach in front and thick foliage as its backdrop.

This retro-chic beach hotel is among one of the best hotels leading the east coast’s return to popularity. Trinco Blu by Cinnamon is one of the most comfortable hotels on the eastern coast of Sri Lanka.

The hotel interiors of this four-star beach hotel in Uppaveli are fresh with gleaming white walls, bleached wooden decks, polished cement floors and plenty of open spaces that allow guests to enjoy the tropical sun and spectacular ocean views. Interiors are bright and airy, decorated with rattan furniture upholstered with denim and a dash of bright orange. Trinco Blu by Cinnamon has an informal and laid back ambience and welcomes families with children as well.

What we love

    • Light, bright and airy rooms
    • Beachfront location
    • A large ocean front pool

With 81 rooms, it's larger than most Red Dot properties

The architecture isn't the prettiest, but it's functional and houses good quality rooms

Families are very welcome at Trinco Blu, though there aren't specific facilities for tiny children

Trinco Blu is located north of Trincomalee and south of Pigeon Island.

What our travellers say

We went to Sri Lanka as a three-generation family of three. The superb trip was organised by Samanthie and the team and it's difficult to see how it could have been bettered.

Red Dot organised the most wonderful 3-week holiday for us. Samanthie built a trip around the amazing sights we had requested visiting, together with her own suggestions and a wide mix of hotels, which gave us the flavours of both traditional Sri Lanka and the sleek, stylish contemporary version of the country. Our Driver made the whole experience incredibly special for us.

I can’t thank Cherylle and the Red Dot team enough for their meticulous planning of our family holiday to India travelling through Rajasthan over Christmas. As a family of all adults, every suggestion from daily activities to hotel choices was simply perfect. We travelled through Delhi, Ranthambore (an unforgettable tiger safari!), Jaipur and Agra and I truly feel we experienced the very best of each destination while moving at a relaxed, well thought out pace

My partner arranged a holiday trip at fairly short notice to Sri Lanka with Red Dot on a recommendation, Samanthie was so patient & helpful with her suggested itinerary which we followed with some minor amendments. On arrival at Colombo we met Manjula our chauffeur/guide who was absolutely brilliant!

Dulmini and the Red Dot Team arranged a fantastic trip for us around Assam and North Eat India. Faultless service. I cannot recommend them more highly.

Wonderful company. Our holiday in Sri Lanka was perfect. Local knowledge made all the difference

We looked up, and communicated with umpteen tour operators. Though Red Dot seemed to have offices in Sri Lanka and the UK, they seemed to have the best reviews. We were fortunate enough to correspond with Cherylle, who not only assured us of the safety of our friend, but created a personalised, and flexible, itinerary which we could not have done ourselves.

A 14-day tour with Red Dot Tours was the perfect antidote to the bleak UK winter. After a glowing recommendation from a friend, we contacted Red Dot Tours and were not disappointed. Our consultant, Lahiru, curated a seamless itinerary. Throughout the planning phase, Lahiru was incredibly responsive; the final itinerary—delivered via a user-friendly 'Guest Portal'—was impressively detailed, covering every hotel stay and excursion.
