OCEANA TRINCO
Boutique Beachfront · Trincomalee
Where the sun comes up out of the sea
Oceana Trinco is a newly developed boutique beachfront hotel in Trincomalee, created to offer modern comfort, warm Sri Lankan hospitality and convenient access to the eastern coastline.
Twelve thoughtfully designed rooms at 300 Dyke Street — six that face the sea and six that face the road — everything new, everything run by people who live here.
Six sea-facing and six road-facing, all newly built, all with air conditioning and a modern en-suite bathroom.
Select your dates to explore real-time room availability, seasonal rates, and instant reservation confirmation powered by HotelMate.
Two minutes on the coast between Uppuveli and Nilaveli — the beach, the reef and the boats that go out before light.
A small hotel does a few things properly rather than many things adequately.
Colombo airport is six hours by road; we arrange a car and a driver who stops where you ask. The Trincomalee train is twenty minutes away and we meet it free.
Trincomalee's beaches are minutes away, and the desk will tell you which one suits the day — the calm side, the quiet side, or the one with the boats.
String hoppers, egg hoppers, pol sambol, seasonal fruit and real coffee, served on the terrace until half past ten.
Masks and fins are free to guests. Boats to Pigeon Island and the whale grounds are booked through the desk at the boatman's own price.
Reliable high-speed wireless internet available across all guest rooms and public areas.
Kitchen open from six until ten at night. Same-day laundry if it is in before nine, back folded by evening.
We came for three nights in July and stayed nine. The sea was flat every single morning, the kitchen cooked whatever the boats brought in, and nobody once tried to sell us a tour.
The east coast has a different rhythm. Here are three reasons people come back.
Yellowfin landed at six in the morning, crab curry the way the kitchen's grandmother made it, and a terrace that looks straight down the beach.
Seventeen kilometres north, a boat ride from Nilaveli, and the clearest snorkelling on the east coast between May and September.
The continental shelf drops away close to shore here. From February to April the boats leave at three in the morning and are usually back by nine.
Call us — no commission, and we can hold the room.
