Really great location 5 mins walk to Nilaveli beach, nice sized room and Vibhushan was able to arrange tuktuk transport for a reasonable price to and from the bus station in Trinco. It was easy contact him. Meals were quite tasty and can be ordered from their extensive menu.

Villa Nilaveli Cabana, hotel in Nilaveli

Villa Nilaveli Cabana has 3 cabanas (Villa Nilaveli Cabana Cabanas) which are available for rent. Each Cabana has a king-size bed, air conditioning, ceiling fan, mosquito net and an en suite bathroom....

We had a lovely & relaxing stay in the Nilaveli Cabanas. It's a beautiful place right at the beach in the calmer area of Nilaveli. With only three cabanas, it is super peaceful and perfect to deconnect! Amal is a very helpful host! He arranged us scooters, a trip to pigeon island (which was amazing) and a dolfin watching tour! He also cooked us an amazing seafood barbecue diner and arranged a table on the beach with a great view on the sea. What more can we wish for... We can really recommend to stay here! Thank you for the hospitality, Amal!

Laxsume Guest House Nilaveli, hotel in Nilaveli

Laxsume Guest House Nilaveli is set in Nilaveli, 600 metres from Nilaveli Beach, 3.8 km from Pigeon Island National Park, and 8.4 km from Velgam Vehera.

The Laxsume Guest house was great value for money and the host was incredibly helpful - sorting tuktuks, tours, food, any issues etc. The guest house is a 2 minute walk from a pigeon island tour meeting point - highly recommend doing that and dolphin watching if you get chance. Lovely restaurants nearby too.

Sea Zone Hotel Nilaveli, hotel in Nilaveli

Featuring free WiFi and a terrace, Sea Zone Hotel Nilaveli offers accommodation in Nilaveli. Free private parking is available on site. Certain units include a seating area where you can relax.

I booked a budget fan only room which was fine, I would just put the fan on for a bit and leave the door open to let the room cool down a bit before sleeping. There was a foot bath just outside my room which was great for washing the sand off my feet so my room didn’t become a beach! The seating area outside the room was great and doubled as a space to dry my towel and things after a day at the beach! The location was perfect, a few minutes from the beach and a few nice restaurants. Ideal for what I wanted. The staff were very friendly and helpful, all in all a pleasant stay!

Oceanic White House, hotel in Nilaveli

Located in Nilaveli and only 400 metres from Nilaveli Beach, Oceanic White House provides accommodation with sea views, free WiFi and free private parking.

Great spot for a beach holidays. The room is large, with a very comfortable bed, and it's nice to have the shady verandah for relaxing and having breakfast. Having access to a fridge and water kettle was a big bonus for us. We appreciated the shady patio area as well. You can't beat the location - the beach is just 300m down the road and family restaurants and little shops are all around. Owners are very nice and helpful.

    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.

    Located on the beach, the location is ideal. Overall it’s quiet and the room is comfortable and large. The AC works well and there is ample space and seating in the room. There are well kept gardens on the property with lots of interesting birds - we also appreciated the mini fridge and water provided in the room and the drying racks outside. The host is friendly and helpful which we appreciated

    Nice laid-back guesthouse with rooms looking onto a private garden. The location is great, very quiet and only a 2 minutes walk to Nilaveli beach. Our bedroom and bathroom were clean and nicely decorated. Unfortunately, the restaurant was closed but we could still have breakfast there. There are a few other very good restaurants within walking distance. We had a very relaxing stay there!

    This was the best accommodation I had in Sri Lanka so far. The room was big and very clean. The owners are so kind and answered all my questions and the Guesthouse is only a few minutes away from the quiet Nilaveli Beach. The breakfast was delicious!!

    We enjoyed the silence, harmony, friendliness and beautiful area in Amal’s Paradies! Perfect location to slow down and to discover Nilaveli, Trincomalee, Uppuveli,… Amal is a very nice host. Always helpful, available before and during our stay. We will def come back to this beautiful place. It was also very nice to see that the extremely lovable dog was allowed to have such a nice and quiet place to live. We really enjoyed his presence. a soul of an animal.

    I recently stayed at the beach hut property and had an absolutely delightful experience. The hut is charmingly designed and just steps away from the pristine beach, offering stunning ocean views. The hosts were welcoming and provided excellent local recommendations, making our stay even more enjoyable. Their hospitality truly stood out. Overall, I highly recommend this beach hut for a serene and relaxing getaway. I can’t wait to return!

    Quiet and great location in Nilaveli, near the beach and a couple of good restaurants. The host and his family were very kind and helped us to arrange a scooter, snorkelling kits, breakfast, and other tips. Big, comfy, fresh and clean room. The little garden and terrace was perfect to chill out. We had a lovely time!
