Whether you want to Scuba dive in exotic ocean waters or sun-bathe on palm fringed beaches, Trincomalee is the place to be. It is a land of miles of sun kissed beaches where you can watch the sun rise over beautiful bays, go for long walks and build castles on sandy beaches, learn of history by visiting the finest harbour, re-live colonialism by walking through Fort Frederick, experience religion and culture that are centuries old, gaze at the sun set as the boats come home laden with the days catch...this is the essence of Trincomalee.

This is precisely what ‘Pigeon Island Beach Resort’ lives up to. Just 15 kilometers from Trinco, Nilaweli beach is the location for this beautiful Resort.
