EXPLORE TRINCOMALEE
Hop on a short boat ride offshore to Pigeon Island National Park, a protected marine sanctuary ringed by crystal-clear coral gardens. Snorkel among hundreds of colourful reef fish, watch blacktip reef sharks cruise the shallows, and swim alongside graceful sea turtles in the warm, calm water.
Book Your Stay
Set sail from the coast into the deep blue waters of the Indian Ocean, one of the best spots on earth for marine giants. Between March and May you can watch enormous blue whales, playful sperm whales, and pods of spinner dolphins breaching right alongside your boat in their natural habitat.

Step back in time among the crumbling ramparts of Fort Frederick, a sprawling colonial fortress built by the Portuguese and expanded by the Dutch and British. Follow the path to the cliff-top Koneswaram Temple at Swami Rock, one of Sri Lanka’s most sacred Hindu shrines, and soak up sweeping panoramas over the shimmering bay far below.
Book Your Stay
Golden sands and calm, turquoise water right at our doorstep make Uppuveli the perfect place to switch off completely. Spend lazy afternoons lounging under palm trees, take a gentle swim in the warm shallows, and watch the sky catch fire over the bay during spectacular sunset swims.
Book Your Stay
Just north of town, Nilaveli is a quieter stretch of powdery white sand with shallow, crystal-clear water. Swim in the gentle surf, snorkel straight from the shore, or set off on long barefoot walks down an almost-empty beach as the sun dips below the horizon.

Trincomalee is a diver’s paradise, home to some of Sri Lanka’s healthiest coral reefs. Whether you’re an experienced diver or a first-time snorkeler, plunge into vibrant underwater gardens teeming with colourful tropical fish, moray eels, reef sharks, and swaying sea fans on a guided trip from the bay.
