Beach Hotels in Jaffna

A wonderful experience here. Quite remote and next to a sleepy fishing village, the huts have been lovingly constructed using local materials. They are open to the elements, which allows the fresh ocean breeze to blow through (quite strongly at times!) and keep the rooms cool. Mosquito nets are provided, although we didn’t see any mosquitoes - but still offers protection from various bugs that visit at night, and the pesky flies during the daytime. Some of the huts have steep stairs to access the bedroom upstairs, while the bathroom and toilet are situated separately downstairs (not recommended for the elderly or disabled). However, three new huts have recently opened, that are ground level and have attached bathrooms. The whole place has been built with regard to ecological concerns. The staff (also hired locally) are wonderful and there is a very talented young chef named Ashwin who, in addition to preparing delicious meals, acts as a general manager in the absence of the owner. The property also has its own tuk tuk, which is handy for trips around the island or to Jaffna (29 km away). We would definitely recommend a stay here - it’s a totally different and unique experience, among lovely hospitable people.

Great place to stay with family. It offers a nice view and is located in a calm area, very close to Jaffna town.

Relatively new. At first it was difficult to reach the place, but staff was helpful, the place itself was clean, decent Beach facing property , peaceful ,

Palm Beach Resort Ceylon exceeded all expectations! The beach is just steps away and perfect for a peaceful morning walk or sunset view. The staff was incredibly friendly and made us feel at home. The restaurant served delicious local seafood dishes—highly recommend the crab curry! We’ll definitely be back.

We loved the food and the staff. Especially Anushil! She speaks 5 langauges and was so kind and wonderful! Anushi explainedmany things about sri lankan foods, cultures, and languages to us. Ac and hotwater were great, very clean, delicious restaurant, and the bar kept these 2 americans very happy!
