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!

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!

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.

    This is a simple homestay run by a very enthusiastic host. The room is basic but comfortable and has an en suite bathroom and a ceiling fan. It is a cheap place and great value for money. The location is great. It is close to the local beach and a short tuk tuk ride to the main restaurants on the beach. In the morning they made us breakfast - roti and dahl and coconut sambal for a little bit extra.

    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 the older house with a veranda and a lot of shade. The room was cosy with 4 persons but with airco and this is the only thing we needed!!! The beach and a lot of restaurant options in the surrounding walking distance. In the weekend locals tend to build a party near the beach so this was super fun. Try snorkeling (also possible without the expensive 40 dollar visit to pigeon island) or diving. We drive with our own tuktuk which you can stall in the garden. Go and see the cultural part in the nearby Trincomalee.

    We had a great time at the home stay resort. The place is very quiet. The family is very welcoming and always ready to help. Our daughter spent some time with their one, a great way for her to discover another culture. The breakfast is typically Sri Lankan and tasty. We warmly recommend this place.
