Great design. It’s such a luxury experience to have a room by the beach. The view inside the room is already like a movie. Direct beach access. Great and wild beach. Staff catering to you every need from managing lagoon trip, portion island diving to money exchange. Great food. Beachside BBQ at night is such a wonderful experience. Justifiable price.

The best place for a relaxed holiday at the beach. Everything is perfect, it is all in the details…. The maintenance is excellent. The owners wife is French so you can feel it in the interiors. The wide beach is spotless clean, they check it every day. Next to a cute fisherman place with little boats. Lovely garden. The swimming pool is very cute. The food is very good. The chefs worked in 5 star hotels. They can arrange tuk tuk and different tours ( they do not charge commission). Thank you for this little paradise!

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!

Hospitality with a heart - the staff was very helpful with all requests we had like Scooters, Doctors and things to do in the area. Not only were they very helpful, they went "the extra mile" to ansure we were only going to people they knew would do their best to meet our needs. All in all it was great and the staff really turns this hotel more into a family stay than a normal holiday.

We came as a group of four and had two separate rooms. The hotel facilities were amazing, really modern, with a perfect location close to the beach. The amazing staff even offer romantic barbecues on the beach, and there's also a swimming pool if you dont want to be just on the beach! Ramil and the entire staff were absolutely fantastic - so friendly, helpful, and attentive. It’s just the perfect place to stay, and if we visit Sri Lanka again, we’ll definitely return. We already miss you guys!

    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.

    Sarath was one of the best host I've ever had in my whole life. He dropped us to get lunch, to get at the beach and also at the bus stand. Also i really enjoyed to talk to him and he gave us the feeling that we are part of the family🫶. So if you want the best experience you can get in sri lanka, then please stay at home stay resort! PS: You can also rent a scooter, which is very cool!! Thank you so much for making our trip to Trincomalee unforgettable!

    Our favourite place in Sri Lanka! Mandy is a wonderful host and made us feel at home right away. The hotel is located on a pristine bit of beach slightly away from the busier Nilaveli and Uppuveli beaches, which was perfect for us. We also organised a trip to Pigeon Island from just outside the hotel, which was an highlight. Our room was lovely and comfortable with a gorgeous sea view, and the dinner was exceptional. We hope we can come back one day!

    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.
