Mahesha Bawan<\/h1>\r\n

Another gem from the Jetwing collection, Mahesa Bawan is the first luxury villa in Jaffna, the island’s historic Northern capital.<\/h5>\r\n

Originally built in 1935 and since restored to its previous splendour while retaining its Jaffna character, the hotel is located within walking distance to Jaffna public library and the famed Jaffna Fort.<\/p>\r\n

Jetwing Mahesa Bhawan, which is tucked away in a quiet residential street in the centre of Jaffna, reflects local tradition and gives guests a window into the long-standing culture while retaining the luxury that Jetwing is famous for. Experience everything the northern peninsula has to offer while being close to all the major transportation hubs and the bustling downtown market.<\/p>\r\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row padding_top=”0″ padding_bottom=”100″ class=”image-conetent-block”][vc_column][vc_row_inner el_class=”left-image”][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”10353″ img_size=”full”][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]\r\n

Why do we love Mahesha Bawan?<\/h2>\r\nWe love Jetwing Mahesa Bawan because it comfortably captures the essence of the northern peninsula, giving you a warm, genuine taste of Jaffna and providing a peaceful, relaxed stay. It’s also very conveniently located allowing the guests to roam around the city with ease and access local sites and activities.\r\n\r\nThe bungalow was renovated while maintaining its historical roots in the Jaffna style and remains a respected legacy for local community improvement. Jetwing Mahesa Bhawan echoes the local culture of Jaffna, offering its guests a gateway to experience traditional hospitality.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_meta_color=”false” padding_top=”100″ padding_bottom=”0″][vc_column][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1676286733800{margin-bottom: 50px !important;padding-right: 10% !important;padding-left: 10% !important;}”]\r\n
