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.

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 :)

Our favourite place in Sri Lanka! Mandy is a wonderful host and made us feel at home right away. The hotel is located on a pristine bit of beach slightly away from the busier Nilaveli and Uppuveli beaches, which was perfect for us. We also organised a trip to Pigeon Island from just outside the hotel, which was an highlight. Our room was lovely and comfortable with a gorgeous sea view, and the dinner was exceptional. We hope we can come back one day!

We absolutely loved our stay in Nilaveli! The hotel’s gardens are lush and green with so many butterflies, dragonflies and damselflies. The beach is so close and we went every morning to swim in the sea before breakfast at sunrise. The place has a really chill vibe and the pool is so nice, with lots of shade if you want to hide from the sun during the day. The food is also great!

We stayed at C Beyond for 8 nights and it was absolute bliss. The hotel is very relaxed with beautiful Art adorning the walls. The beach is safe for swimming and the sunrises are spectacular. It is very secluded. The staff all work extremely hard and nothing is too much trouble.

The hotel is located directly next to the quiet and beautiful Nilaveli beach. Diven and the rest of the staff are very kind and helpful toward their guests. Trips to Pigeon Island can also be booked there, as well as scuba diving classes.
