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 😅

Boyan

From

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.

Joseph

From

Sweden

The location and architecture of the hotel is lovely. The first thing you see as you look through the archway is the ocean. The staff is kind and accommodating. Our kids loved the pool and the closeness to the ocean is just great. The garden is well kept and has lots of beautiful flowers and plants. Water pressure is good for a Sr Lankan hotel and the food is great.

FAQs about hotels in Nilaveli

What guests said about Nilaveli:

I liked the small hotel we stayed in on the beach front (...

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.
