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.

    This hotel is right on the beach and has its own private area, which is an added bonus. The location is ideal for scuba diving and dolphin watching, as diving agencies can easily be reached by waking along the beach. We really enjoyed having breakfast, lunch and dinner on the beach. The cocktails were good and the food was generous. The staff were really nice and helpful. They played music in the evening, which added to the hotel's good atmosphere.

    The cabanas are beautifully located with clean beds and air conditioning, the beach which is nicely equipped is fantastic, the restaurant (though much more expensive than anywhere else we’d eaten in Sri Lanka) serves delicious food and drinks. The staff are very friendly and helpful. You can easily reach the Trincomalee or Uppuveli by tuk tuk or organize a snorkeling trip to a nearby coral reef.

    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.

    We stayed in 4 of the 6 bungalows at the Luna Beach hotel which were basic, clean and with thoughtful touches such as the plug socket and small shelf right next to the bed for a phone. Nilavelli beach was a short walk away which offered plenty of local charm and the more cosmopolitan area of Uppuveli beach was a short drive away. The host, Savi, was always available and extremely helpful.

Nilaveli beach is a great chilled out place.
