The Thinnai

Blending contemporary comfort with Tamil heritage, The Thinnai takes its name from the shaded verandas found in northern Sri Lankan homes. Suites open onto private balconies, while the grounds are dotted with fruit trees and native flora, creating a calm, homely feel. It’s a refreshing base for exploring a region still largely untouched by mass tourism.

Join a cooking class rooted in local flavours, explore nearby temples, or wander into town for a taste of Jaffna’s unique cultural rhythm. It’s a thoughtful, down-to-earth stay with a strong sense of place.
