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 property was lovely, with a great pool and games available (board games, archery and volleyball). Close to a beautiful beach. Staff went above and beyond and were really helpful and friendly. Room had everything we needed. A little remote but staff were so helpful with providing tuk tuks and helping us with finding a taxi for onward travel. Would recommend!

Top hotel at a wonderful beach, very nice wooden cottages, friendly staff and reliable service e.g. the airport transfer. On the way from Colombo to Nilaveli and Trincomalee You are passing jungle and national parks, having wild elephants on the road, an exciting experience also, even though it is a car ride by around 5 hours. Warmly recommended!

    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 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!

    We had a great time staying at Vibushan Guest House, Samira and his family were lovely hosts and made our stay in Nilaveli very easy and relaxing. The food was delicious, our favourite was the pancakes and fruit salad for breakfast and selection of curries for dinner. The room was clean, good AC and shower. Samira also helped us organise the trips and activities we wanted to do in Nilaveli and Trincomalee which was really helpful. Thank you Vibushan!

    The property is beautiful and has real tropical vibes. So close to in my opinion the most beautiful part of Nilaveli Beach. Fernando our host was helpful and enthusiastic. Made us fresh juice and helped us arrange transport and tours based on our budget. He even showed us the quickest way to get to beach. The area is quiet and homely with just the beach, tropical vibes, local people roaming cows and small cafés restaurants.

    The beach front location is superb. We basically had the whole beach to ourselves. It was clean and free from rubbish. The location is a little out of Trincomalee but ok for us because we had a driver. Rashan and his wife were lovely hosts and ensured we had everything we needed. Our villa was comfortable and clean and well located with easy access to the beach. Breakfast on our second morning was great.
