Hotel Review

Contemporary style characterises this spot, with traditional touches — such as wooden latticework and a red-and-gold template — thrown in too. Rooms are compact and comfortable, with smart bathrooms and big cosy beds. Many also open onto small private balconies, offering views of white-painted buildings dotted amidst the palm trees or wonderful vistas over the turquoise lagoon. A brilliant location allows visitors to walk or pedal to striking nearby sights, from the iconic Jaffna Public Library to the Dutch and Portuguese-era Fort and more. Savour spiced Northern Sri Lankan specialities at the restaurant, or perch at the rooftop bar for scenic city panoramas — this is, after all, one of Jaffna’s tallest buildings.

Jetwing Jaffna

This 55-room hotel is Jaffna’s smartest option, offering first-class facilities, themed rooms, and a young and enthusiastic staff team. Its location is handy for pottering around town, scaling Jaffna Fort’s buttressed walls, and as a base to explore the peninsular.
