Pasikudah is a coastal resort town located about 35 kilometers northwest of Batticaloa, Battocaloa district, Sri Lanka. Since the end of the civil war in 2009 and the completion of the Tsunami rehabilitation projects, Pasikudah has become a popular tourist destination amongst locals and foreigners alike. This is because Pasikudah is known to have one of the longest stretches of shallow coastline in the world.
Pasikudah is easily accessible from Trincomalee and Batticaloa and usually form part of the cultural and tour routes. The Sri Lankan Government’s strict environmental policies ensure that the region is developed as a sustainable tourism zone and its economic policies continue to empower the local communities.
Pasikudah affords the ultimate privacy and seclusion, away from the bustle of the usual tourist spots to guarantee the perfect getaway holiday.
Pasikudah lies on the east coast of Sri Lanka, serving up gorgeous pristine coastline with golden, sunbaked sand. The water is clear and shallow for miles, and offshore you’ll find some of the island’s best diving – the shipwrecked HMS Hermes is of particular note. Perched on the waterfront, the luxurious Sun Aqua Pasikudah makes the most of its sun-drenched setting with boutique-designed five-star suites, gourmet dining, a fully stocked cellar of Old and New World wines, and excursions through jungles, mountains and underwater terrains. A scenic journey from Colombo and the International Airport, this exclusive address is one of the island’s most serene coastal getaways, so pack your loosest linens and enjoy some genuine Sri Lankan hospitality.
