We stayed at Avila Nilaveli Beach and were absolutely delighted! The villa is small but very fresh, cozy, and clean — everything feels well-maintained and new. The staff were wonderful — kind, attentive, and always willing to help. They had their own set breakfast, but we sometimes asked for additional things, and they happily prepared them for us. Everything they made was truly delicious. Coffee or tea was always served with breakfast, on time and with care. One especially lovely gesture: before our departure, they prepared a dish with okra just for me, showed me how they cook it — it felt like a mini cooking class! And then they packed it up for me to take with us. It was such a warm and thoughtful touch. We also felt very safe and well looked after, as someone from the staff was always around and available if we needed anything. We were very happy with our stay and would definitely come back. Highly recommended!

Nice place near the beach. The sunrise is nice from the beach. Room is clean , bed comfy with mosquito net. Toilet in the room is clean with good water pressure. The owner can arrange almost any kind of activity due to his many contacts in the area. All this with very short notice.! Good food, one night we were lucky and given rice and tasty curry for free! Thanks! 👍

We came here for 5 days but ended up staying 10. You get good coffee, homemade bread and waffles for breakfast. Not to mention a good chat with the owner Mr. Seran, who really makes you feel welcome. He even brought pretty cakes from Trincomalee to celebrate the birthday of my twin girls. Rooms are clean and convinient and you are only 2 minutes from the beach. If you like diving, Pearl Divers are really close. And on the beach you find plenty of boats that can take you whale-watching or snorkelling. We are coming back!

Excellent location only a short walk from the beach. Quiet and calm atmosphere. Very kind and helpful host family. Delicious food. Brandnew appartements. Good value for this price. We especially liked the authentic atmosphere of Nilaveli Beach rooms, far away from the touristic resort and hotel area further south on the beach. We even stayed a couple of days longer as we really enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere, the good food and the kind owners. And the beach is of course beautiful as well. Cows walking along the beach included. Wonderful place in Sri Lanka.

The location in Nilaveli is perfect. The beach is 5 minutes walking. It's a very quiet area, perfect to relax. The home stay has a good vibes atmosphere, with a garden with "hamacas", and full day open kitchen. The staff was nice and friendly. The room was very cheap and it has all the basic things you may need. I arrived very early and they stored my luggage, also in the departure day.
