    Very soft golden sand. Sea was not rough during our stay.

    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.

    We couldn't find consistently good restaurants.

    We couldn't find consistently good restaurants. Some were really good and the staff were amazing. Seafood king restaurant was great. Some restaurants the staff put us off. Beach and the sea were good but not amazing. Different vibe to the southern coast of Sri Lanka. I personally prefer the southern coast. We visited the pigeon island, which was so nice. But there were no toilets in the island which is harmful to the island and the marine life around it. Snorkeling was great.

    Not too crowded like other beach spots in Sri Lanka.

    Not too crowded like other beach spots in Sri Lanka. A good place to just relax on the beach. The beach is super clean. Great place to watch the sunrise. Good spot for any avid divers as well as there are some amazing dive spots all around with several diving centres to choose from.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    It was right on the beach, in a very calm area. If you’re looking for socializing possibilities, you must drive to Trincomalee or to Nilaveli city. The rooms were clean with hot water and good cleaning.
