Some accommodation includes a balcony with sea views, a fully equipped kitchen and a private bathroom with walk-in shower. At the homestay, some units are fitted with a kettle and chocolates or cookies. The accommodation is right in the village and just a 5 min walking distance from the most beautiful sandy beach. You sleep in big tents, which have fans, mosquitoe nets and chargers. The staff is really nice and the island is beautiful. They say you should not expect a hotel stay which makes sense, but we thought it was so much more than that because it just feels like paradise. You have hammocks all around the property and areas to just sit and chill. You can rent bikes for the island and explore the nature and wildlife.

It is situated 1.7 km from Jaffna Fort and offers a 24-hour front desk. The guest house provides rooms with air conditioning, free private parking and free WiFi. I had a wonderful experience staying here on a recent work trip. The location is incredibly convenient, just a 600-meter walk from the Jaffna railway station. What truly stood out was the exceptional hospitality. I had to travel at an inconvenient time, but the staff were extremely accommodating and graciously adjusted my check-in time. They were very friendly, and the entire place was neat and pleasant. I even received a delicious cup of tea, which was a lovely, welcoming touch. With several food shops also within walking distance, it has everything you need. I will definitely be staying here again for all my future work trips to Jaffna. Highly recommended!
