this is an ideal place for privacy and relaxation. There are only birds and lizards around and not a single person. The staff is great! Caring, polite, surrounds with attention and warmth. Very kind and open people. The hotel itself is cute and incredibly authentic, well-kept grounds, cute houses. There is everything you need for a holiday. Very tasty food and great selection of dishes. Incredibly delicious seafood and cool barbecue on the beach. Beautiful and cozy right on the ocean shore.

We had a perfect stay! The owners and staff are incredibly kind and welcoming. The entire property is brand new – we were the very first guests! Everything is spotless and beautifully designed. The swimming pool is amazing and the whole place is just a dream. The breakfast was delicious, and we also had lunch at the property once – it was excellent and highly recommended. The hostess Chandi was so warm and caring – I felt like I was at home with my mom. Every wish is taken care of immediately – they truly go above and beyond. Highly recommended to everyone! We will definitely come back!

The property was lovely, with a great pool and games available (board games, archery and volleyball). Close to a beautiful beach. Staff went above and beyond and were really helpful and friendly. Room had everything we needed. A little remote but staff were so helpful with providing tuk tuks and helping us with finding a taxi for onward travel. Would recommend!

Boutique style hotel with a nice pool and direct access to the beach. Miran was great. He always had a smile, organised sun beds, and if you pre booked your food, he’d have it ready for you. Fresh fish available every night.

    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.

    The location of this hotel on Nilaveli beach cannot be beaten. It is 100m down from the louder beach bars area - with all the local fishing boats in between. The pool is clean and large and the shaded palm tree area beside it is a beautiful place to sit in a hammock. The attractive huts on the hotels’ private beach area provide shade for the sun beds - the beach is clean and the sea great for body boarding (July). The staff are all friendly and some of them had a pro-active approach to the guests.
