Set in Nilaveli, a few steps from Nilaveli Beach, NN Beach Resort & SPA offers accommodation with an outdoor swimming pool, free private parking, a garden and a shared lounge. Among the various facilities are a terrace, a restaurant, as well as a bar. The accommodation features a 24-hour front desk, airport transfers, room service and free WiFi.

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.

Located near Trincomalee in Salli-Sampaltivu, 108 Palms Beach Resort offers accommodation on the private beach. The resort offers 3 semi-detached villas, divided into 6 separate units with a shared terrace.

108 Palms is an absolute gem. I had booked elsewhere but the government visit in Trincomalee precluded staying closer. And I am so glad it did! Greeted at the gate, low key administrative requirements. Super attentive staff. The restaurant served delicious meals with smiles. The pool is delightful-Just right for relaxing near the amenities. And then a short stroll (150 meters) to the beach. The sand is clean and easy to walk on. The water was photo blue - straight from a postcard. My first 2 days the wind blew and there waves were breaking fairly close to shore. The last days - nearly calm. And the beach in both directions was nearly abandoned. A few fishermen going about their business. A few teens walking along from one place to another. That was it. Distance to town - about 15 minutes in car/tuk tuk. But other than for business reasons, I did not bother. When the bells ring during the day it is the Hindu temple just south of the resort - take the time to visit. It is an artistic wonder, so close to the saltwater yet so colorful. What a wonderful relaxing place to stay!! I hope to have a repeat visit. PS I did go scuba diving while in Trincomalee and highly recommend Epic Ocean Adventure, located in the commercial part of the town, 15 minutes from 108 Palms Resort.

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. Free WiFi access is available in this resort.

The hotel is very good. Room is clean and spacious. The view on the bay is gorgeous. It’s relatively close to the beach and the ocean in this area is very clean and warm. We spent here 4 nights with our 3 years old son and we all had a wonderful time. The staff is very attentive. I especially want to highlight the man at the pool area and the guys from the restaurant, especially Kirujan , who was very helpful with all our needs. The food was delicious and varied. Definitely recommend this hotel. From what we’ve seen that’s probably the best resort in the area.

Featuring free WiFi and a terrace, Lucky Beach Resort offers accommodation in Trincomalee. The property has access to the beach from the garden pathway. Free private parking is available on site.

The area is popular for snorkelling and diving. Kanniya Hot Springs is 3.7 km from Lucky Beach Resort, while Koneswaram Temple is 5 km from the property.

Stayed at the end of rainy season so it was amazing value for money. Only a handful of other guests were present so the pool was almost empty most of the time. Also close to the beach.

    Paradise found! When we arrived we still had 10 nights in sri lanka...we booked 2 nights and stayed until the rest of our trip! Once here you get Stuck. Finally a barefoot place with super amazing staff, a great owner who showed us secret places, great food, cold beers and this all at the clearest ocean ever! If you don't need luxury and air conditions but you love nature and an authentic vibe, then this is your place to get stuck!

    The details in the hotel were spot on. Great eye for detail. Our room was comfortable with quite a lot of decoration. Our room offered a beautiful balcony and a strong AC. We had a view to the beach on the side of the balcony. The entrance of the hotel is beautiful and full of colourful touches. The neighbours are building a large white resort. These views might be blocked in the future. We liked the day beds close to the beach and the great breakfast with a mix of typical breakfast items and local touches.

    The NN Beach Resort & Spa is a great hotel, located right on the beach. We had such a great stay that we decided to stay longer and enjoyed the calm and relaxation. The complex is very well maintained. The rooms were also clean and tidy. The staff and the manager are very friendly and ensure a pleasant atmosphere.

    We really enjoyed everything about our stay at Nilaveli Beach Resort. Location is amazing, the hotel is on the beach (you step out of the room and are already in front of the sea), super quiet and ideal for relaxing. It's a bit secluded from the outside but the restaurant offers great food at a reasonable price. Comfortable and clean room. The staff were super helpful, specially the manager John.

    The location was just perfect. Lovely shaded beach chairs to 'chill out' on and around a 300 mtr walk along the beach to the beach cafe's and restaurant. NN Beach Resort is a quieter resort, which is perfect and the beach bars are just so accessible. The rooms were excellent and so were the staff. I would definately stay here again.

    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.
