Overview
Jaffna, Rediscovered
Jaffna's distinct Tamil Hindu culture, cuisine and colonial-era architecture set it apart from the rest of Sri Lanka.
Jaffna Luxury Suites occupies a restored property in Jaffna, the peninsula city that anchors Sri Lanka's predominantly Tamil north, only fully accessible to leisure travellers in the years since the country's civil conflict ended. The city's distinct culture is visible in its Hindu temples, Dutch and Portuguese colonial forts, and a cuisine built around fiery Jaffna-style curries and crab. The hotel provides a comfortable, contemporary base for exploring a part of Sri Lanka still relatively unfamiliar to international visitors.
