From the moment we arrived at Suman Beach Rooms, we felt like special guests in a family home. Located just a 3‑minute stroll from the serene Nilaveli Beach, this cozy B&B is in a perfect spot for easy beach days and exploring nearby attractions like Pigeon Island National Park and the Kanniya Hot Springs . Our room was spacious – with a private bathroom, balcony overlooking the garden, crisp AC, reliable Wi‑Fi, and great comfort overall . It quickly became our peaceful little haven after a day in the sun. But what truly set this place apart was the warmth of the hosts—Suman, Mallika, and their family. They greeted us even during our early arrival, having our room already prepared . Mallika’s home‑cooked Sri Lankan breakfast on the terrace was a daily treat—delicious, generous, and served with heartfelt kindness . The atmosphere is so relaxed and welcoming—complete with friendly cats, chickens wandering through the garden, and a homely ambience that truly made us feel “at home” . They went above and beyond by helping arrange tuk‑tuks, and transfers, you name it—with helpful, local insider knowledge . In short: Location: 2–3 minute walk to the beach, with easy access to local attractions Accommodation: Clean, comfortable rooms with AC, private bathroom, balcony/garden view Hosts: Exceptionally friendly, considerate, and accommodating Extras: Tasty breakfasts, reliable Wi‑Fi, bike/tuk‑tuk tours, laundry, on‑site parking We wholeheartedly recommend Suman Beach Rooms if you're after a genuine, comfortable, and caring place to stay in Nilaveli. Thanks to Suman, Mallika, and the entire team for an unforgettable stay—we’ll definitely return! 🙏

The hotel is stunning, it feels very luxurious for a reasonable price for european standards. The staff is super friendly and helpful, especially the manager Shyakthi. We ended up staying 2 more nights. The biggest highlight was the private beach, we were there alone most of the time and the sea is perfect for swimming. The beach is equipped with sun beds and a shower. The hotel offers 4 course dinner for 7000 rupees per person and ayurvedic massage for 35 dollars. It is the perfect place if you want to relax in a beach resort.

We stayed at Avila Nilaveli Beach and were absolutely delighted! The villa is small but very fresh, cozy, and clean — everything feels well-maintained and new. The staff were wonderful — kind, attentive, and always willing to help. They had their own set breakfast, but we sometimes asked for additional things, and they happily prepared them for us. Everything they made was truly delicious. Coffee or tea was always served with breakfast, on time and with care. One especially lovely gesture: before our departure, they prepared a dish with okra just for me, showed me how they cook it — it felt like a mini cooking class! And then they packed it up for me to take with us. It was such a warm and thoughtful touch. We also felt very safe and well looked after, as someone from the staff was always around and available if we needed anything. We were very happy with our stay and would definitely come back. Highly recommended!

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 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
