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 😅

First of all, this hotel is an absolute bargain and is priced too low. Everything is brand new, pool was perfectly nice, good temp and modern, room is spacious and super clean. We stayed at the most expensive hotels in Sri Lanka, and the AC here was newer and better. We also had a lovely spacious balcony. It’s a beautiful no frills hotel and for the price you pay, you can’t expect luxury and if you want more comfortable mattresses then go with a more expensive hotel. A tip about the wifi: if it doesn’t work anymore you just need to ask the receptionist to re-charge it for you.

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.

    This is a fantastic place to stay on Nilaveli beach. The pool and gardens are immaculately kept, but it is the proximity to the beach that is the real standout. White sand and turquoise waters with lovely sun loungers make this a beautifulplace to relax. The food in the restaurant is good - fruit, juice and tea/coffee and then either a Sri Lankan option or pancakes or omelette for breakfast - and you can eat dinner right on the beach listening to the ocean waves. All of the staff are lovely and really helpful. Highly recommend

    If you are going to Trincomalee, you have to stay at Memo’s! You pay a bit extra but you get a lot in return: great food, beautiful beach, amazing staff, and the best coffee in town. It is of course tricky to order Italian food abroad but their pastas and pizzas are delicious. My boyfriend turned 30 here and after asking the staff to arrange a small surprise for him, they went out of their way to create a romantic dinner on the beach. They also arranged a trip to Pigeon Island and train tickets for us. Many thanks to them!

    The location in Nilaveli is perfect. The beach is 5 minutes walking. It's a very quiet area, perfect to relax. The home stay has a good vibes atmosphere, with a garden with "hamacas", and full day open kitchen. The staff was nice and friendly. The room was very cheap and it has all the basic things you may need. I arrived very early and they stored my luggage, also in the departure day.
