Jaffna is a culturally rich city in northern Sri Lanka, known for its historical heritage and diverse influences from Tamil, Dutch, Portuguese, and British civilizations. The iconic Jaffna Fort, initially constructed by the Portuguese in the 17th century, stands as a testament to the city's historical significance. The landscape is characterized by Palmyra palm trees, and the city is renowned for its unique cuisine, featuring specialties like Jaffna crab curry. Following the end of the civil conflict in 2009, Jaffna has undergone reconstruction and development, with increased accessibility for tourists. The Nallur Kandaswamy Kovil, a Hindu temple dedicated to Lord Murugan, is a key religious site and a focal point for cultural festivities in Jaffna.

In the early 1970s; Herbert Cooray – a visionary, a pioneer of tourism in Sri Lanka and the founding father of Jetwing home built his first homely villa with just six rooms. It all began with a humble desire to share the experience of true hospitality of a Sri Lankan family with others. A simple dream which grew to an ever furthering vision that made us – the company he founded, what we are today – one of the largest, most respected, and recognized tourism organisations in Sri Lanka, and a family of hotels like no other. United at heart, we live by the ‘family’ values of passion, humility, integrity and tenacity – tenets that set us apart as a strong, family run business of distinction.As a renowned specialist in travel and tourism, over the past 40 years and more we have nurtured a hospitality culture that is wholly Sri Lankan, striving to make it legendary. Staying true to our pioneering spirit, we stray from the well-trodden path, consistently creating new destinations on the map – expanding our horizons – and our visitors’, while enriching the lives of local communities and bringing better prospects for all.We take immense pleasure and great pride in sharing our homes and showing our country to visitors from around the world. And you will discover the difference from the moment you arrive. To us, you are never, ever a room number. You will never just stay with us, but you will experience. You may arrive as a visitor, but you will always leave as friends – and return as family.At every Jetwing home, you will find our values reflected in terms of spaces: open spaces reflect freedom in architecture and in attitude; our respect for nature is echoed in spaces that showcase the environment, promote synergy – bringing the inside out, inviting interaction. Every space, also tells a story: celebrating the culture and heritage of our country. Spaces – that invite you to make yourself at home – at our home.
