The rooms are clean and comfortable. The area is quiet and serene (and close to the beach). But the best part about my stay was the family that hosts it. They were always kind, sincere, and hospitable, and were happy to teach me more about their home country. And of course, the homemade food was the best I’ve had in the 4 months I’ve been traveling. I haven’t been home in a while and had been stuck in a bit of a rut, but staying here and being around this family reminded me of the warmth of home. I can’t recommend this place enough. Thank you all for a wonderful stay.

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 private bathroom.

Great location, right on the beach. Easy walk up the beach to a salty dogs cafe and beach lovers restaurant and bar. Rooms were simple, though were fine for the stay. We ordered pizza delivery from Kitchen Nero one day, and they delivered to our cabana. Was good to mix things up and not walk up the beach for lunch, as we were very content just lazing on the sun loungers. Breakfast is simple and plentiful. 500m walk to the main road for snacks and bottled water. Amal was great in offering to take us further if needed, in his car.

JEYs Place, hotel in Nilaveli

Featuring a shared lounge, JEYs Place provides accommodations in Nilaveli. This property offers access to a terrace, free private parking, and free Wifi.

Great place very near to Nilaveli beach. There are AC and None AC rooms available. Rooms are built with attached bathrooms and more like a small house where two separate rooms are available. It's very suitable for a family. There is a restaurant and these days they don't function. but in the restaurant area there is a separate kitchen to cook your own food. but you have to bring everything. The person who took care of the property is very friendly and helpful. always gives his full support to everything. Overall its a great place for a reasonable price. Hope to visit again when traveling to Trincomalee.

    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.

    the staff was super available - I had a really late check in and check out. I really appreciate their kindness in everything. it’s a really quiet place so perfect for relaxing and for family time. Owners were locals, which I think is really important to consider when booking an hotel (helping their community).
