The view from the room is stunning, both at sunrise and sunset. The staff were so lovely and happy to help with everything. Breakfast and dinner were delicious. Only a short drive from a supermarket and pharmacy if needed.

We had a wonderful stay at Avila Nilaveli Beach. The rooms were incredibly comfortable, with excellent air conditioning that made the heat feel like a distant memory. The location is perfect—just a quick 5-minute walk to the beautiful Nilaveli Beach, which was so convenient for daily visits. What really stood out, though, was the flexibility of the staff. They went above and beyond to accommodate our schedule, adjusting breakfast times to fit with our activities. Their attention to detail and willingness to help made our stay even more enjoyable. Overall, a great spot for a relaxing and hassle-free getaway!

Nice and very modern rooms. Close to the beach and lots of restaurants. Don't let yourself be fooled by the picture of the garage door. It's not a garage at all but a proper hotel 😅

A wonderful hotel. We were checked in earlier than expected and given a clean and cozy room. The hotel grounds were beautiful, especially the ocean view. We enjoyed the beauty of the pool and hot tub, which were beautifully lit at night. There were two adorable puppies and a small, always hungry cat living at the hotel, which added to the homely atmosphere. The staff was very friendly, responsive, and attentive, always helping us with whatever we needed. We appreciated the ability to check out later than the designated time, which added convenience to our stay. We especially want to mention the delicious dinners we had at the hotel restaurant. Overall, our experience at this hotel was very pleasant, and we would recommend it to anyone looking for a beautiful and cozy hotel with excellent service.

    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.

    Wonderful property just a minutes walk from the beach! Staff were very welcoming and couldn’t do enough for us. Room was spacious with a pool side terrace. Fantastic location for all kinds of beach and sight seeing. Tuk tuk tour to Trincomalee was excellent. Brilliant guide and tailored it to suite our family. Snorkelling trip to Pigeon Island was a highlight of our entire trip! Wonderful pool with bar. Ate there one night and the food was traditional and very tasty. Close proximity to beach bars and restaurants

    As a traveler from Canada to Sri Lanka, my family and I had an unforgettable experience at this beach resort. The highlight was the whale watching tour organized by the hotel, where we were able to see these magnificent creatures up close. The knowledgeable guides provided fascinating information about the whales and the surrounding marine life. The resort's facilities were top-notch, and the staff was attentive and friendly. We enjoyed the delicious food, beautiful beach.

    The cabanas are beautifully located with clean beds and air conditioning, the beach which is nicely equipped is fantastic, the restaurant (though much more expensive than anywhere else we’d eaten in Sri Lanka) serves delicious food and drinks. The staff are very friendly and helpful. You can easily reach the Trincomalee or Uppuveli by tuk tuk or organize a snorkeling trip to a nearby coral reef.

Location is very beautiful like flower garden, staff and customer service is very good and friendly (Roshan and others). Also rooms very clean and tidy. Final I suggest the Mithra paradise beach hotel best for local and foreign tourists.
