Probably the best value for the money we got in Sri Lanka. The property is brand new, the rooms look like in a good 4+ star hotel (photos on the site don’t lie). Only a pool is missing, but there wasn’t much of a problem as the Nilaveli beach is only 5 minutes away on foot. The staff is super helpful and nice, the manager is always smiley!

We had an amazing time for our honeymoon at Uppuveli Beach by DSK and would come back. The hotel itself is beautiful, peaceful, and fully finished — with no construction ongoing during our 5 day stay. Everything was ready for a relaxing and comfortable stay, including rich breakfast and tasty food at the restaurant. But what truly made the difference was the people. The entire team went above and beyond to make us feel like 5-star guests every single moment. Their warmth, professionalism, and genuine hospitality were outstanding — the kind that leaves a lasting impression. We may not remember every single name, but we do want to mention few : Ravi, Sanjay who prepared us wonderful romantic dinner at the beach, the restaurant team Prasanthan, Jhonsanth, Xithmi, Lakshan and then the bar team, Yojee,Haris, Jay, Pasindu, and the belldesk Tharshan, and front office Sathu — and really, all the staff deserve recognition. You made our stay unforgettable. A big congratulations to the hotel for having such an incredible team.

I am writing this review out of the pure joy I have revived by staying this place. This is a newly opened Cabana style hotel situated right next to the Trincomalee beach (2 min walking). The cabana has all amenities including WiFi, a nice place to sit outside every room which is perfect to sit back, relax and have a coffee/tea. It was a great convenience to have our tea bags and coffee pouches in the room along with water and a kettle so we could prepare ourselves a cup of coffee anytime we liked. The people who run the Cabana are incredibly nice and very helpful and are always available to help out. I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a great place to stay near the beach at a great price!

We had a wonderful stay at Avila Nilaveli Beach. The rooms were incredibly comfortable, with excellent air conditioning that made the heat feel like a distant memory. The location is perfect—just a quick 5-minute walk to the beautiful Nilaveli Beach, which was so convenient for daily visits. What really stood out, though, was the flexibility of the staff. They went above and beyond to accommodate our schedule, adjusting breakfast times to fit with our activities. Their attention to detail and willingness to help made our stay even more enjoyable. Overall, a great spot for a relaxing and hassle-free getaway!

    We enjoyed our stay in this hotel (5 nights), especially thanks to the amazingly friendly and caring staff and manager of the hotel! They are trying so much to feel their guests comfortable! Daily we used the large hotel pool and the lonely and clean beach (when the sea was calmer). One evening they prepared only for us luxury dinner as a gift for us, it was delicius! The hotel restaurant is perfect, we have eat there everyday. Almost everyday we made short trips to Trincomalee center and for sightseeing around via tuk tuk. The staff takes care for the hotel carefully - daily they clean the nice green garden, pool and also the beach. The hotel is not new, but it would helps to improve the impression with so much little - just like do new paint in the rooms or repair the tile in the pool for safety.

    This was such a wonderful place to end our trip. The staff put us so at ease and made our stay incredibly relaxing. We were in the smallest room available, that is described as having no window, however it's much nicer than it sounds! There are glass doors which bring in plenty of light and the tree in the bathroom is enjoyable. We had some great meals at the hotel and the beach is less than a minute away. The hotel has close connections with a tour operator (Boatman) who was great and offered trips all over the area. Would definitely stay here again.

    Top hotel at a wonderful beach, very nice wooden cottages, friendly staff and reliable service e.g. the airport transfer. On the way from Colombo to Nilaveli and Trincomalee You are passing jungle and national parks, having wild elephants on the road, an exciting experience also, even though it is a car ride by around 5 hours. Warmly recommended!

    This location was absolutely beautiful. There's lots to see and do and 3 nights wasn't enough to fully enjoy the setting. Yes you can spend time at the beach and go snorkeling, but you can also visit the Thiruskoneswaram temple and eat delicious food on Sarvodaya Road. We highly recommend Rice 'n' Curry Restaurant. As well as The White House for Accommodation and Rangan Snorkeling

    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.

    Trincomalee is a beautiful beach town, the beaches are amazing, lots of cultural things to do if you want, as well as lots of relaxation. Some great restaurants on the beach and in the town. The only draw back is it takes quite along time to get to (depending on where you are coming from) but that is the same across most of Sri Lanka

    We absolutely love this area, by far one of the best places in Sri Lanka. After travelling around the island, we decided just to completely chill and not check out the other beaches. We will definitely go back again and check out a few of the other beaches along that coastline. Food is fantastic and the people are very friendly! When we read up about the island, they said that this was the less developed area, but as far as I could see it was the same as most other places. Definitely has everything you need and one of the best places to completely unwind.

    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.
