Amazing place. Gorgeous rooms, good showers. Perfect location, felt very safe and private. Direct access to a great swimming beach. Great food. Best was the manager Eric, he was amazing and made sure we had a great stay. Would love to stay again.

We stayed at Amanta Beach Resort for two nights and wished we would have stayed for a week! The property is beautiful and private but close enough to Nilaveli & Trinco that you could take a Tuk Tuk if you needed to. The rooms were spotless, beautiful, and everything worked perfectly (including the air con). As previous reviewers have said, the beach is your own little private slice of paradise. We were there a few weeks before the heavy season, so the seas were a bit rough, but we spent many hours lounging in the chairs on the sand! The food was amazing too! We had dinner one night and it was one of the best meals that we've had on our year abroad. The owner/chef comes out and explains everything and tells you where he got the ingredients from (mostly his on-site garden). Shyakthi and his staff make this place what it is! They all go above and beyond to make sure you're enjoying yourself and that you're comfortable. They put a lot of time and energy into the entire experience and it shows. There is a reason this hotel is rated 9+ on Booking and you should definitely come see for yourself!

The facility/hotel is surrounded by a beautiful garden and in itself is a paradise. The hotel's pool is also large enough to accommodate people, and I see that they try to maintain it each day. There is a beach access with sun beds available for use. The room we had was huge, and the toilet/bath is also spacious and modern looking. The bed is very comfortable with 4 huge pillows. They provide beach towels and towels inside the room. SriLankan breakfast is a very good option out of all the breakfast options, in my opinion. They've organised an evening barbecue by the beach and I would say it was a very nice experience. Even though they are short staffed, they have managed to attend to guest's needs. Yasu and Ramil and all other staff will help as much as they can to make your stay pleasurable.

    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.

    This is a fantastic place to stay on Nilaveli beach. The pool and gardens are immaculately kept, but it is the proximity to the beach that is the real standout. White sand and turquoise waters with lovely sun loungers make this a beautifulplace to relax. The food in the restaurant is good - fruit, juice and tea/coffee and then either a Sri Lankan option or pancakes or omelette for breakfast - and you can eat dinner right on the beach listening to the ocean waves. All of the staff are lovely and really helpful. Highly recommend

    This is a very basic budget guest house. It is only 150 metres to the main Nilaveli beach and the boats to take you to Pidgeon Island. The room was decent and the shower water pressure was excellent. The beds were comfortable and we had air conditioning. The provided breakfast was basic but nice. In this price point it provided what you needed. If the owner gets the cleanliness issues sorted then we would rate this guest house higher.
