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 just left the most wonderful hotel ran by the sweetest loveliest people and I wish we could have stayed for a whole month at least. If you’re hesitating whether to book this stay or not, book it right now! Where to begin: The location is magical, located by the sea with stunning views and an overall calmness that surrounds the area. The beach (with private hotel access) is gorgeous and with direct views to pigeon island. The sunrises and sunsets at CBeyond feel out of this world as they’re so beautiful. The pool is great and so inviting, perfect for an afternoon dip. The hotel is stunning; the decoration in the shared areas such as the living room, dining room and porch is tasteful. Our room was so spacious, with loads of natural light and the most breathtaking views to the coast. The bathroom is well equipped and the shower has great water pressure (this is quite important to me). The bedroom has a gorgeous private balcony with a couple of lounge chairs where I’ve been sitting to watch the sunrise (very recommendable), bed is big and very comfortable. The breakfast served in the mornings is the best breakfast I’ve ever had, no joke. The fruit platter is fresh and delicious, the pancakes and french toast very delectable but the cherry on top are curry’s. Lunch and dinner are also great and very tasty! Saving the best for last: the personnel running the hotel. I have never experienced such wonderful treatment like this before; they all have been so kind, lovely and helpful. Went above & beyond every time we had any inquiry and were so nice about it - we had some problems with our tuktuk and they took care of it. We celebrated a birthday here and they made the day feel 10 times more special!! Eric & co have been so lovely, they made our stay here so memorable, it’s going to be impossible to top. Thank you all so much for your kindness, we hope to come back really soon!!

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.

We had an amazing stay here, comfortable big room with a balcony overlooking the sea, great restaurant with a couple more places within walking distance and wonderful friendly staff!

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.

They even supplied us with extra blankets and towels. The breakfast was exceptional which was catered to out taste. Right on the beach and the villas are surrounded with beautiful homegrown flowers and plants.. I would definitely visit again. The hosts were so kind and sweet, always checked in on us. We were very happy with our stay and would highly recommend

    A wonderful, spacious and thoughtfully decorated apartment for a couple of nights in Nilaveli. The bedrooms were comfortable and outlook across the pool to the ocean was wonderful. We loved being right on the beach and having access to the pool. Due to friends also staying in the area, we are confident that this is one of the better apartments in this complex :-) We had a minor request during our stay and messaged the owners via booking.com. They were very responsive.

    This was my favourite hotel of our 2 week holiday in Sri Lanka. As soon as you arrive you see the most beautiful tropical beach, with barely anyone on it. The host, Mandy, is so kind and makes you feel so welcome. We ate every meal here in our 3 days as the food is delicious and you couldn’t get a nicer spot on the beach to have dinner. Mandy also organised a snorkelling trip to Pigeon Island for us, which was fabulous. I definitely hope to return!

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.

    The crows were entering the breakfast area and diving into the tables and taking good. Several times my food was taken. Even at the other dining area near the beach side same thing, crows diving and grabbing food from plates. I had a crow dive into my cocktail twice. The staff knows about this problem they said, but no solution. Other hotels I’ve seen have put thin netting around the meal areas.

    The location of the hotel is like no other with the wide open space in the premises. The beach is by far the cleanest we've ever seen and ideal for a morning or evening dip. The staff were very courteous, friendly and hospitable making us feel welcome. The food was tasty with a perfect blend of spices picked from the garden. All in all, the perfect place to kick back and relax.

    The room was spacious and clean. The beds and mattresses were simple but good enough to sleep. It is a really short walk to the beach and calm at night, beautiful palm tree and open space in front of the bungalow with air con. Nice white interior. The owners are really so kind, helpful and welcoming, we felt at home. The kids loved the two goats in the garden.
