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.

Top hotel at a wonderful beach, very nice wooden cottages, friendly staff and reliable service e.g. the airport transfer. On the way from Colombo to Nilaveli and Trincomalee You are passing jungle and national parks, having wild elephants on the road, an exciting experience also, even though it is a car ride by around 5 hours. Warmly recommended!

Amaranthe Bay Resort & Spa, hotel in Trincomalee

Offering an outdoor swimming pool and a spa and wellness centre, Amaranthe Bay Resort & Spa is located just 5 km north of the Trincomalee town on the beautiful East Coast of Sri Lanka.

Great setting with beautiful rooms in a beautiful tropical garden. The staff goes to incredible lengths to make you feel at home. We got an upgrade for a small additional charge, the room with jacuzzi is very spacious and comfortable. With a beautiful view of the beautiful pool, the tropical garden and the river. The beautiful pool bar and the fantastic restaurant make the stay complete. After a biting incident with a monkey, we received maximum support from the staff who always advised us. They even went with us to the hospital and pharmacy, everyone showed a lot of interest and offered care and help. To ease the pain, we were pampered and spoiled extra. Unbelievable and never experienced before. We already thought it was a great place with very nice and service-oriented staff, but because of the way they supported us, they deserve a big 10+. Thanks again to the management and the entire team.

Janas Blue Water Corner, hotel in Trincomalee

Situated in Trincomalee, 200 metres from Dutch Bay Beach, Janas Blue Water Corner offers beachfront accommodation and various facilities, such as a private beach area.

The staff were very friendly and helpful and supplied a lovely breakfast each morning . There are two cabin rooms on the beach so it seems like you have your own little beach to yourself . It was out of the way from the main road but perfect for relaxation .

Uppuveli Beach by DSK, hotel in Trincomalee

Facing the beachfront, Uppuveli Beach by DSK offers 5-star accommodation in Trincomalee and features free bikes, outdoor swimming pool and fitness centre.

We have just enjoyed 3 nights at this absolutely wonderful hotel. From start to finish, the service was 5* we were greeted with a Hindu tradition, which was special. Thank you Moheshi (inthinknthis was her name) All members of staff took the time to talk to us and get to know us with genuine interest. Including Emran at reception. The pool attendent was a great man, and we enjoyed talking with him. Special mention to Roshan in the restaurant who really tried to ensure we enjoyed our breakfast and make indian tea the way we like it. ( Breakfast) was honestly a feast on days when there were fewer guests we had a la carte. The hotel itself has wonderful touches. Everything is brand new and so untouched. The towels and linen were immaculate, and everywhere was clean. The gym was well equipped, and the swimming pool was beautiful with a stunning view of the sea. Our room was spacious, we loved the outdoor terrace. The grounds are well kept and constantly maintained. We would love to come back when the sea is calmer to enjoy the beautiful ocean. Thank you for making our stay memorable. ( we considered staying a few more nights, but the rain was relentless)

    The staff were very friendly, attentive and welcoming. The gardens & grounds were meticulously maintained and the food in the restaurant was delicious. The location was fabulous for Nilaveli Beach, only a few minutes walk away and was beautiful. The bathrooms are very quirky- all individually decorated like a boutique hotel. Justin the Chef was a fabulous guy talking about where he’d worked in Dubai and family in England. He has some great ideas too & is an asset to the Hotel complex.

    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.

    Amazing pool, a great location, a beautiful garden, and super friendly staff. We felt at home! We loved our time at Bella Nilaveli. The location is great, right next to the beach. The dinner was one of the best during our entire trip! Kudos to chef!

    Accommodation directly on the beach. Very good breakfast. Don't expect a completely luxurious place, rather a little punk (however, with increasing luxury, such places lose their soul) Perfect place for beach lounging, very friendly staff, perfect cuisine. Beautiful beach

    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!

    Right on the seafront with a beautiful ocean view from our penthouse. Very tidy, luxury and comfortable place that we enjoyed. We also liked to have our own kitchen as our private driver was also a good cook and made us fresh, delicious parathas and curry! The area was still very quiet as apparently not yet the season.
