Description

About This Listing

Your own little home close to the beach.

The Space

Theepan’s is a nice, little free-standing house, next to the home of Theepan and his family. The place feels like a proper little beach home. Especially built to host guests, it has two bedrooms, a small living room, a common bathroom and a kitchen. Donated by an international aid organisation, the small guesthouse is a huge financial support to Theepan and his family.

Interaction with Guests

Theepan works as a mason and lives in his own home next door, with his wife and two little children. Trips and food can be arranged, if requested in advance.

The Neighborhood

Of all that Sri Lanka has to offer, Trinco might be our favorite Neverbeen location. It’s not that the beaches are perfect, the nature is the wildest or the culture is the most abundant, but it’s the right mix and it really feels like something is about to happen there. Too early for mass tourism (which will surely come) Trinco hosts the more adventurous type of traveller. Real backpackers come by bus or train, but seriously, save yourself some trouble by taking the $35 flight from Colombo - Ratmalana (Helitours) and treat yourself to one of the nicest coastal landings you’ll see, straight across the unique Trinco harbour. Once there, do all the sunbathing, temple-visiting and island hopping you need to do, but don’t forget to visit the fish and vegetable markets downtown and the beach temple in this little gem of a town called Salli, just above Uppuveli beach. Once there, a lovely toothless bloke called Kutien (Ku-Tee-Ann) or any of his more ‘toothful’ colleagues would be happy to take you on a boat trip all the way to the bottom of Swami Rock.

Theepan’s is located some 200 meters from Nilaveli beach.
