Great ocean front location, quiet and peaceful. very close to the boats to pigeon island. Staff were amazing and went out of their way to make us feel welcome and to ensure we were confortable through out our stay. They even surprised us with dinner on the beach on our last night. The food was wonderful and make sure you try the crab curry!

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 😅

Friendliness of the staff, they really want to make everything as comfortable as possible. The room was really nice and clean great beds. The pool is open from 0830 till 2130 so the kids could go swimming after dinner which we really enjoyed. And its nice location close to the beach (500m walk). And with a tuktuk you can go to Uppuveli for more action and nice restaurants. Definitely go to Your Choice restaurant there.

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 🙏❤️🇱🇰

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.

Beautifully presented hotel rooms, with four poster beds and lots of space and light. Everything well maintained and clean (although worth mentioning the bathrooms were a bit smelly but this is often the case with beach location hotels). Breakfast was delicious with lots of choices available, and staff friendly and helpful. Clean swimming pool & towels provided with beach access in a great spot in Nilaveli. Would happily go back!

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.

I literally lost my pants there! The hotel's right on the beach (the cabins are behind it) and the hosts are super sweet. An ideal place for children! From 5pm on, the playlist could have been my daughter's spotify. Breakfast is fabulous. The beds are comfortable. Be sure to visit the crocodile lake which is a 15-minute walk away and Trincomalee by tuktuk.
