Delft Island

Delft Island, also known as Neduntheevu, is a unique and tranquil tourist destination off the coast of Jaffna, Sri Lanka. Renowned for its free-roaming wild horses, coral-built Dutch fort, ancient Baobab tree, and colonial-era ruins, the island offers a rare glimpse into Sri Lanka’s layered history and natural beauty. Visitors can explore the island by tuk-tuk or bicycle, visiting landmarks like the Queen’s Tower, Giant Footprint, and the Growing Rock, all set against a backdrop of quiet beaches and coral landscapes. With limited infrastructure and a laid-back atmosphere, Delft is ideal for adventurous travelers seeking an off-the-beaten-path cultural and ecological experience.
