The hotel is stunning, it feels very luxurious for a reasonable price for european standards. The staff is super friendly and helpful, especially the manager Shyakthi. We ended up staying 2 more nights. The biggest highlight was the private beach, we were there alone most of the time and the sea is perfect for swimming. The beach is equipped with sun beds and a shower. The hotel offers 4 course dinner for 7000 rupees per person and ayurvedic massage for 35 dollars. It is the perfect place if you want to relax in a beach resort.

Nice and very modern rooms. Close to the beach and lots of restaurants. Don't let yourself be fooled by the picture of the garage door. It's not a garage at all but a proper hotel 😅

Very cozy resort, and we especially liked the small bungalows they had by the pool. We appreciated that it was a small resort. Amazing breakfast, and the staff were very polite and service minded.

Andris

From

Latvia

by far, best choice to stay in Nilaveli/Trincomalee. hotel in front of ocean with clean pool (maintained and cleaned daily, several times). large clean and comfy rooms. we are family of three and had lots of space in duplex room. A/C is new and fully filled, so blasting cool air within seconds of switching on.(so far stayed in several hotels in Sri Lanka, and some A/c were literally non existent, even in much more expensive 5 star hotels) staff is attentive, some minor misunderstandings are swiftly resolved by hotel manager. housekeeping team does amazing job, daily clean/fresh water replenishing. hotel grounds are well maintained. good options for dinner. beach is clean, with enough loungers. we wanted candles for cake- hotel provided some changes in breakfast offer for out 3 year old- team made changes overall, it’s EXCELLENT VALUE and after visiting few other hotels in area, this is BEST CHOICE.

FAQs about hotels in Nilaveli

What guests said about Nilaveli:

I liked the small hotel we stayed in on the beach front (...

I liked the small hotel we stayed in on the beach front (Mithra Paradise) and the semi-private beach. A real gem if you're looking for a quiet romantic place. Much better than the big faceless commercial hotels. I would recomemmend the small guest houses in the whole of SL for this reason as the service is exceptional and they are usually family-run so they put a lot of love and effort into pleasing their guests. No mosquitoes in July. Avoid the dolphin watching 'chasing' tours. Loads of boats making a big noise and running over the dolphins. Poor animals. You only glimpse them for a few seconds and the boat ride is hell on your back. Try the snorkelling instead.

A much more peaceful beach holiday that at neighbouring Uppaveli, so if you want to get away from the crowds, it’s a perfect spot. The surrounding countryside looks beautiful too - I wish we’d have had more time to explore. We ate at Sara’s fish restaurant, where the seafood kottu & prawn curry were delicious.

Nilaveli is the perfect beach if you want peace and quiet , not many shops or facilities about, a few ok restaurants near by some expensive for Sri Lanka even more pricey than England, would need to travel 15km by local Tuk Tuk to find a good choice in Trincomalee-Nilaveli-Pulmodai which around 2000 rupees each way

Very soft golden sand. Sea was not rough during our stay. Snorkeling trips are arranged by guides to nearby Pigeon Island. Pristine corrals and species. May be less restaurants along the beach, and not much of public facilities like toilets and wheelchair access etc

Nilaveli has a lot to offer.

Nilaveli has a lot to offer. The lower part of the beach closer to Trincomalee is very much like Bali or Goa with lots of accommodation including budget friendly options. It has many small cafes and restaurants right on the beach. There are also many dive shops offering diving experiences at Pigeon Island just off the coast. The upper end of the beach is more secluded and has fewer beach cafes and bars. This is where the larger more upmarket Nilaveli Beach Hotel is located.

The couple who own this property were great and work very hard in this lovely family run home stay. The location is excellent as you are just a few minutes walk from the beach and the owner will call you a tuk tuk if you wish to go to other areas around Trincomalee. The food was really excellent (provided by the family), the rooms were clean and the AC was strong (not like in some other places we have stayed). In summary, if you are staying in nilaveli go to vibushan guest house :)

We had a fantastic time at this homestay! The place is extremely clean, and the rooms are spacious and spotless. The staff is incredibly friendly and helpful—they assist you with everything you need. The location is perfect: just a short walk to the beach, making it a great spot to relax and unwind. At the same time, it’s easy to reach the busier parts of Trincomalee if you want to explore more. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a peaceful yet convenient place to stay!

I got tea or coffee, got laundry service and a Tuk Tuk was organised to go to Trincomalee bus staion very early in the morning. It is definitely an accomodation worth to stay if you want to stay at Nilaveli beach or explore the surrounding sights.
