The beach is beautiful. You can relax all day. The food was good. The dinner is also very special, nice and tasty (but a bit pricy for Sri Lanka). The staff was always friendly and helpful. The room is spacious and nice. The bed is also comfortable.

We had a perfect stay! The owners and staff are incredibly kind and welcoming. The entire property is brand new – we were the very first guests! Everything is spotless and beautifully designed. The swimming pool is amazing and the whole place is just a dream. The breakfast was delicious, and we also had lunch at the property once – it was excellent and highly recommended. The hostess Chandi was so warm and caring – I felt like I was at home with my mom. Every wish is taken care of immediately – they truly go above and beyond. Highly recommended to everyone! We will definitely come back!

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 😅

From all the hotels in the area this was by far the most chilled one, really nice holiday vibe, lots of hang out space and no loud music :) so if you are looking for a place to relax in a calming and rather silent area, Mithra is the right place for you! Though we were here in September so we don’t know about high season :) The staff was really helpful with everything, thank you so much again! Special thanks to Pragash, who managed our stay just perfectly!

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.

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.

The property is beautiful and has real tropical vibes. So close to in my opinion the most beautiful part of Nilaveli Beach. Fernando our host was helpful and enthusiastic. Made us fresh juice and helped us arrange transport and tours based on our budget. He even showed us the quickest way to get to beach. The area is quiet and homely with just the beach, tropical vibes, local people roaming cows and small cafés restaurants.

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.
