Trinco Boutique Hotel

Trincomalee, also known historically as Gokanna and Gokarna, is the administrative headquarters of the Trincomalee District and major resort port city of Eastern Province, Sri Lanka. Located on the east coast of the island overlooking the Trincomalee Harbour, Trincomalee has been one of the main centres of Sri Lankan Tamil speaking culture on the island for nearly a millennium. With a population of 99,135, the city is built on a peninsula of the same name, which divides its inner and outer harbours. It is home to the famous Koneswaram temple from where it developed and earned its historic Tamil name Thirukonamalai. The town is home to other historical monuments such as the Bhadrakali Amman Temple, Trincomalee, the Trincomalee Hindu Cultural Hall and, opened in 1897, the Trincomalee Hindu College. Trincomalee is also the site of the Trincomalee railway station and an ancient ferry service to Jaffna and the south side of the harbour at Muttur.

As you arrive in Trincomalee, you'll be greeted by miles of pristine coastline, where you can soak up the sun, surf the waves, or simply relax and take in the breathtaking views. The town is also home to the famous Koneswaram Temple, a Hindu temple perched on a cliff overlooking the ocean. The temple is a popular pilgrimage site and offers a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of the region.

If you're looking for adventure, Trincomalee won't disappoint. From whale watching to scuba diving, there are plenty of activities to keep you busy. The Pigeon Island National Park is a must-visit, where you can explore the vibrant coral reefs and swim with exotic marine life.
