Jetwing Jaffna

Jetwing Jaffna is part of the well known Jetwing chain, in the northern town of Jaffna, where most people are Tamil and culture and tradition run deep. The hotel is close to the Nallur Kandaswamy Kovil and the railway station. At seven storeys it is one of the tallest buildings in town. It welcomes families, and the staff are friendly.

Planning your stay

Jaffna is in the far north, about seven hours by road or a domestic flight from Colombo, and also reached by train. Its Tamil culture, temples and food are quite different from the south. Dress modestly at temples; men usually remove their shirts at Nallur. Try local dishes such as Jaffna crab curry, odiyal kool and the famous ice cream parlours.

Things to do nearby

Visit Nallur Kovil, the Dutch fort, the public library and the archaeological museum, or bathe at Keerimalai springs.
