Nilaveli Beach Resort - Level 1 Certified, hotel in Nilaveli

Nilaveli Beach Resort is set on the bronzed sands of Nilaveli Beach. This tranquil resort welcomes guests with a private beach area, cosy guestrooms and free internet access at all public areas.

We had a great time at the Nilaveli beach resort. The staff was really very nice. What is not said is that, on the beach, next to the resort, there is an exceptionnal spectacle every day: traditionnal fishing. Fishermen bring an enormous net with a boat, about 1 km away from the shore. The net is linked with 2 long ropes that 20 people pull up from the beach for about 2 hours. Estonishing to discover how many fishes they bring that way in their net!

C Beyond Nilaveli, hotel in Nilaveli

Featuring free WiFi, C Beyond Nilaweli offers accommodation in Nilaveli. The property overlooks a large natural pond and is located 19 km from Trincomalee. Guests can enjoy the on-site restaurant.

We had a wonderful stay, everyone is just so nice, helpful and the level of hospitality is just unmatched. We wanted to rent a scooter and they organised it for us super quickly. The view from the property very nice and relaxing, I probably could have watched it for hours. The hotel also has a lovely beach with loungers, we were always almost the only one in the sea (except for a few dogs and a turtle). Our room was very spacious, quiet and they also came in everyday to clean our room which has not been the case everywhere we stayed in Sri Lanka. Breakfast was probably my favourite part of the day, so much delicious food: pancakes, french toast, curries, fruits, rotis - it was definitely the best breakfast I had in Sri Lanka.

We had a very relaxing time at Amanta Beach. Beautiful room, spacious&well designed. We loved the outdoor area (garden/ beach) a lot & enjoyed the calming atmosphere. The two dogs are gorgeous, friendly and it’s very nice to see & good to know that they are treated well & a have a home. ♥️🙏🏽 Unfortunately, this is not a matter of course in the Trincomalee area.

Nilaveli Beach Hotel, hotel in Nilaveli

This hotel is nestled on Nilavali Beach, a 10-minute boat ride from Pigeon Island. It offers free Wi-Fi in public areas, a large outdoor pool and spacious rooms with views of the ocean.

The resort is in a very quite location. The beach was very clean and lovely to swim in, as well as a pool if you do not like the sea. Getting to snorkelling spots was very easy and quick by boat. There were so many options for breakfast and the staff were very attentive.

Anukama Resort, hotel in Nilaveli

Located in Nilaveli, 6 km from Velgam Vehera, Anukama Resort provides accommodation with an outdoor swimming pool, free private parking, a garden and a terrace.

We had stay at Anukama resort on April 18 and 19, 2024 (three adults) and the staff are very nice and helpful,even the General manager, Jena Moorthy, a nice gentleman, I would like to bring some points to the management of Anukama Resort to improve the accommodations and services 1. Make sure the hot water supply, the commode flash, and the hot water itself are functioning before granting the visitor access to the room (we experienced a negative experience when we entered the room and the technicians arrived to fix the issue for over an hour while we were in the room). The room and bathroom were extremely poorly cleaned. 3. The bed sheet and pillow that were provided are extremely small. When we asked for more bedsheets and pillows, they gave us only one of each and said they were out of stock. 4. Although the room has an electric kettle, the staff only provides two packets of office, milk, and sugar each time we ask them to get these items for three people. 4. Even though the accommodation charge includes the breakfast, the serving on the plate are insufficient for a single adult.

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.

    This is a hidden gem, easily screened out if you were looking for 4 star plus. This place is a paradise if you are looking for a relaxing vacation and get trained in Scuba and get certification. Diving school at the edge of this property has all the gear you can rent for the day or you can bring your own. Instructors are experienced in local reefs and diving hot spots. Best food here is Sri Lankan food and fresh off the boat seafood. If you don't like spicy food, choices may be limited. My daughters, one of whom was a Vegan had plenty of choices.

    Nilaveli is a quiet place on the whole.

    Nilaveli is a quiet place on the whole. If you're into snorkeling....dolphin watching and whale watching then this is the ideal place for you. We stayed at an amazing boutique property called cbeyond nelaveli. The property has one of the cleanest Beaches if not the cleanest beach in the area. Also you get picked up at that beach itself for all the activities so it's very convenient. Also a must go place for a drink or swim is Beach lovers. There's actually a few really Beach bar's on this strip of beach. Vitamin Sea is a very cool Beach bar on the same beach.

    Nilaveli beach is great and you really need a vehicle to get around Nilaveli and to the Trinco town and Nilaveli beach, the hotel is perfect if you are there for relaxation and chill. I'm vegetarian hence beachside restaurant is not a perfect place to talk about food, however, the staff of Nilaveli Beach hotel did offer me some good local and international vegetarian dishes and the taste was good as well. You can do many activities there, but the time I was travelling was not ideal for any activities because of the COVID-19. It was more of a forceful stay to pass the day.

    Fabulous resort with excellent friendly staff.

    Fabulous resort with excellent friendly staff. Rooms are super clean and beds very comfortable. AC works great and there are fans as well. The food at the restaurant is a bit pricey but we managed to use the fridge in the room and have our driver take us to get snacks and breakfast foods so we ate only our dinner at the resort. The pool is wonderful, clean and there is plenty of shade. The beach also has shade. Beach towels and mats are provide for the pool and beach area so you don't need to take towels from the room. The staff are always asking if you need anything and always have a smile on their faces. This place is fantastic apart from the internet which is only in the area near the lobby and restaurant and is not always the best. Otherwise the resort is a 5 star in our opinion.

    I recommend everybody to go to a good hotel for your stay!

    I recommend everybody to go to a good hotel for your stay! Spend some more money but better stay in a good one. We stayed in Nilaveli Beach Front Condos. Nilaveli Beach is a super place. Enjoyed Lovely sunrise.unforgettable! Even we saw the sunset at kinniya on the same day. So it's fab! Pigeon island is a must place to go. You will see how much you love the almighty when going on that little boat. But on the way back its normal. Pregnant ladies...don't go in that boat. I suggest the Navy to have a kind of a big safety boat for travelling. Boat rate - 2000/- ( don't rent from anywhere else, not even from your hotel as it's run by a society) Tickets - we paid only 765/- for 6 Snorkeling rate - 600/- per set per person Don't get safety jackets as it's no use while Snorkeling. They charge 400/-. Don't hire a guide. They will just take you to a place telling you fairy tales. It's a safe place. Officials are there for any assistance. Only thing is you should keep some first aid as sometimes people will get cuts for corals. Enjoy coral and fish. But do not touch! No much places to eat in trinco though. So better have your food in the hotel itself. Our food was awesome at Beach front condos! Ohhh yet mouth watering. If not go to Dutch Bank closer to navy camp. Super clean food! If anyone need any clarification or help please do contact me for more details.

    The view! The whales! The dolphins! The reef sharks!

    The view! The whales! The dolphins! The reef sharks! The Turtles! The lagoon! The sea! Viability for days! Sunrises and sun sets! The town is lovely too!!! Use a tuk tuk and get him to take you to temples and around Trincomalee. Also look on tripadvisor for good food places! There are too many but you cant walk to them.

    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 staff is very lovely. I enjoyed the facilities such as the pool a lot. Breakfast is amazing, Dinner I can recommend too! Nilaveli Beach is about 10-15 minutes away (walking) and very beautiful. You can have a great and quiet time in this place. There is also lovely restaurants around. I can recommend King Coconut and Margaret's place for dinner right in the neighborhood, her homecooked food is exceptional! Rooms are clean and beds comfy.

Thank you for such a comfortable, memorable stay.

    Really hip, funky and well-conceived boutique hotel right on a gorgeous stretch of Nilaveli Beach. I had this amazing room with a loft, comfy bed, funky bathroom and absolutely amazing deck overlooking the beach. The indoor and beach-front public areas are super comfortable and well maintained. Our breakfast and dinner was top notch. Great accessibility to the local area.

    We received a warm welcome and the room was very clean and good beds. What a terrific hosts, so friendly and they also booked two trips for us (pigeon island and dolphin spotting). The breakfast was also great, homemade and very tasteful. If you go to Nilaveli this is the place to go! Also close to the beach. Very good stay for the price you are paying.
