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.

The room was brand new, sparkling clean, and just a few steps from the beach. The owner and his staff were exceptionally kind, caring, and went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed. Their warm hospitality truly made our stay unforgettable! Highly recommended for anyone wishing to visit Nilaveli Beach.

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.

We stayed here for two weeks, and we enjoyed it very much. The pool is not big but we spent a lot of time in it and liked it very much. Often a good option when the sea was too wavy or to change a bit for a nice chilled swim. The beach was awesome, literally at your doorstep 😊 and the sea was super clean. Perfect for swimming safely, flat sea or few waves at times but nothing to compromise your safety (and there always people around, also from the staff) 🏊🩳☀️ The restaurant was okay, but there are few excellent options also in Nilaveli town just 1 to 2km away, if one wants to change and try something different. There are many options for excursions, dolphins watching and if you're lucky as we were also spot some whales, coral and pigeon island etc The location was safe, even though a bit "isolated", it's literally 1km from the main street with shops restaurants and also tuk tuks always available to move around for your needs. That's just what we needed, a nice break from everything! If I had to add something, it would be a fridge in the room to have cold drinks at all times. Other than that, perfect stay! The staff was also very friendly and always available for any requests. We made some good friends during these 2 weeks stay. A special thank you to Sajee, Kumar, Abi, Tharanga and Desman. Thanks for everything, we will definitely be back 🙏❤️🇱🇰

Lovely resort situated on a secluded beach, where shaded sun loungers allow you to idle the idyllic days away. Rooms are of good size and all with balconies. Wonderful and helpful staff make for a truly pleasant stay. A good range of dishes keeps the menu interesting and is of good quality (the fish in particular is wonderfully fresh) and all at a very reasonable price. A great place to unwind and enjoy life by the sea.

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.

Wonderful property just a minutes walk from the beach! Staff were very welcoming and couldn’t do enough for us. Room was spacious with a pool side terrace. Fantastic location for all kinds of beach and sight seeing. Tuk tuk tour to Trincomalee was excellent. Brilliant guide and tailored it to suite our family. Snorkelling trip to Pigeon Island was a highlight of our entire trip! Wonderful pool with bar. Ate there one night and the food was traditional and very tasty. Close proximity to beach bars and restaurants

We really enjoyed everything about our stay at Nilaveli Beach Resort. Location is amazing, the hotel is on the beach (you step out of the room and are already in front of the sea), super quiet and ideal for relaxing. It's a bit secluded from the outside but the restaurant offers great food at a reasonable price. Comfortable and clean room. The staff were super helpful, specially the manager John.
