We had a wonderful stay at Avila Nilaveli Beach. The rooms were incredibly comfortable, with excellent air conditioning that made the heat feel like a distant memory. The location is perfect—just a quick 5-minute walk to the beautiful Nilaveli Beach, which was so convenient for daily visits. What really stood out, though, was the flexibility of the staff. They went above and beyond to accommodate our schedule, adjusting breakfast times to fit with our activities. Their attention to detail and willingness to help made our stay even more enjoyable. Overall, a great spot for a relaxing and hassle-free getaway!

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 😅

The breakfast was tasty, served with omlette and bread and coffee. The staffs were absolutely friendly, they helped me arranged everything, and helped me buying cigarettes because I don't know local languange and where is the cigarette shop. The resort was quite close to the beach, like 1 minute walking you can arriving the beach, the sunrise was definetely amazing coz the beach was facing east. Diving with shoy's diving center was also an amazing adventure, the owner and the staffs of shoy's diving center have a lof of diving experience, and also very friendly. On the last day of my stays, the resort arranged me a cab to the airport, the driver's name was ISHAM, who had a lovely heart, conversable and friendly. He showed me plenty of beautiful views on the way to the airport, leaded me to a Lake side and we had a cigarette together with a perfect lake view. I was on a bad mood actually, but I really found a little peace when I was sitting on the lake side and having the cigarette.

We came as a group of four and had two separate rooms. The hotel facilities were amazing, really modern, with a perfect location close to the beach. The amazing staff even offer romantic barbecues on the beach, and there's also a swimming pool if you dont want to be just on the beach! Ramil and the entire staff were absolutely fantastic - so friendly, helpful, and attentive. It’s just the perfect place to stay, and if we visit Sri Lanka again, we’ll definitely return. We already miss you guys!

    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.

    We felt so at home at Luna Beach Hotel. The caretaker Krishna is very kind and attentive and makes the best coffee served at the porch. The hotel is very close to the beach has a cosy garden, great beds and well functioning aircon. We felt lucky to discover this pearl and were happy to meet the Danish owner, Servan, as well. Thank you for making us feel so at home.

Location is very beautiful like flower garden, staff and customer service is very good and friendly (Roshan and others). Also rooms very clean and tidy. Final I suggest the Mithra paradise beach hotel best for local and foreign tourists.
