Nilaveli

A serene east-coast beach escape north of Trincomalee, loved for pale sand and clear blue water.

Nilaveli is a relaxed east-coast beach base north of Trincomalee, known for its wide pale-sand shore, coconut palms and calm, clear-water days in the dry season. It suits a restorative pause after the Cultural Triangle, as well as beach stays combined with Pigeon Island snorkelling, Trincomalee sightseeing and coastal swimming. Chauffeur Emil can arrange a private transfer to your Nilaveli hotel, with optional stops at Mihintale or Trincomalee along the way.
