Your transfer to Pigeon Island Beach Resort

Pigeon Island Beach Resort is in Nilaveli, 245 kilometres from Bandaranaike International Airport — about 5 hours in normal traffic.

The quoted distance is measured to Trincomalee. Pigeon Island Beach Resort is about 14 kilometres north of the centre, and that last stretch is the part of the drive that varies with the hour rather than with the route. The fare is the same for any address in Trincomalee; a car crossing the city at half past four in the afternoon is not making the same journey as one arriving at dawn.

It is on the far side of Trincomalee from the airport, about 8 kilometres beyond the centre in a straight line, so the drive in finishes by crossing the city rather than stopping short of it.

For a sense of the shape of the journey: Pigeon Island Beach Resort is about 222 kilometres from the airport in a straight line against the 245 kilometres the road actually covers.

The nearest hotel on this site is Anilana Nilaveli in Nilaveli, a few minutes on foot.

Day trips from Pigeon Island Beach Resort

  • Trincomalee & Nilaveli — about 3 km away in a straight line. One of the world’s great natural harbours, with Nilaveli and Uppuveli beaches north of town and Pigeon Island offshore. Allow several days.
  • Kaudulla National Park — about 68 km away in a straight line. Elephants gather at the reservoir here in their hundreds through the dry season, moving between Kaudulla and Minneriya as the water drops. Allow an afternoon safari.
  • Minneriya National Park — about 82 km away in a straight line. Dry-season grazing around the reservoir draws hundreds of elephants together — "the Gathering", roughly July to October. Allow an afternoon safari.
  • Polonnaruwa Ancient City — about 88 km away in a straight line. The island’s medieval capital — a compact, walkable ruin field with the Gal Vihara rock Buddhas at its far end. Allow 3–4 hours.
  • Anuradhapura Sacred City — about 95 km away in a straight line. The first capital, and a living pilgrimage site — the Sri Maha Bodhi is said to be the oldest planted tree on record. Allow half a day.

Onward from Trincomalee

How this transfer works

One fixed price for the whole car, not per seat. There is no meter, so the figure you are quoted is the figure the booking honours. Give your flight number and the arrival is tracked, so a delayed landing does not cost you the car.

The return leg from Pigeon Island Beach Resort is the same journey booked the other way, at the same price, and can be arranged now or later in your stay. Departures want you at Bandaranaike three hours before a long-haul flight, so add the 5 hr back to that.
