Fox Resort – a boutique hotel with a history
In Jaffna, we stayed at the incredible Fox Resort, which I highly recommend. Tucked behind crisp, white colonial-looking walls, it opens up into an amazing boutique hotel complete with stunning gardens, a pool that is lit up at night and brand new, modern rooms.
Once the family home of a leading family Jaffna, the Fox Resort has a colourful and fascinating history. During the civil war, this palatial home was commandeered by the Tamils, who added underground bunkers and made it their Treasury. Then, when Jaffna was liberated in 2009, the property was handed over to the armed forces, who used it as an office.
