DESTINATION ESSENCE

About Trincomalee

Possessing one of the finest natural deep-water harbors in the world, Trincomalee is the crown jewel of Sri Lanka’s east coast. Here, powder-white beaches border tranquil, shallow turquoise waters that remain calm when the southern monsoon arrives.

Perched high on Swami Rock, the cliffside Koneswaram Temple drops 100 metres into the crashing ocean below, a venerated pilgrimage site steeped in epic mythology. Offshore, Pigeon Island National Park provides spectacular shallow-water coral reef snorkeling.
