Originally built in 1935, this four-bedroom villa has been fully restored blending rustic elegance with modern living. Jetwing Mahesa Bhawan offers a peaceful and restful ambience, traditional cuisine, a personalised service, and an authentic experience of Jaffna.
The villa is located down a residential neighborhood in Jaffna away from the hustle and bustle of the city.

Jaffna is accessed via the A9 route travelling north from Anuradhapura in the north central region…. a journey that takes about 4 hours.

Dine on authentic Jaffna cuisine in the dining room or outdoors in the garden. Meals are prepared on a wood fired stove in the traditional Jaffna kitchen using fresh produce and spices from the local market. After an adventurous day of exploring, take a dip in the swimming pool or relax in the lounge with a cool drink. Jetwing Mahesa Bhawan is well placed to experience Jaffna’s cultural heritage including Hindu Kovils, heritage sites, fishing villages, and bustling markets. Head across the causeway to Casuarina Beach for a dip in the sea. On the way, spot flocks of Flamingos and waders during the migrant season. Take a ferry ride to Delft Island where wild horses roam by the sea and a small community of villagers go about their daily lives on this remote island.
