Villa Nilaveli Cabana has 3 cabanas (Villa Nilaveli Cabana Cabanas) which are available for rent.

Each Cabana has a king-size bed, air conditioning, ceiling fan, mosquito net and an en suite bathroom.

Only a minute walk from the beautiful Nilaveli, this is a prime location for a relaxing holiday on the beach.

We've had a great time staying at the Cabanas. The room was fantastic, big and very clean, with beautiful furniture and quality linens. The owner Amal was very friendly, helpful and perceptive. The food was awesome and plentiful. The property is beautifully maintained and there are plenty of loungers and hammocks, a shower by the beach and water outlets by the buildings, great porches to rest on, friendly animals, body boards and kayaks and big soft waves and sand. We'd love to go back to spend more time there, such a peaceful place.

    We enjoyed the silence, harmony, friendliness and beautiful area in Amal’s Paradies! Perfect location to slow down and to discover Nilaveli, Trincomalee, Uppuveli,… Amal is a very nice host. Always helpful, available before and during our stay. We will def come back to this beautiful place. It was also very nice to see that the extremely lovable dog was allowed to have such a nice and quiet place to live. We really enjoyed his presence. a soul of an animal.

    I recently stayed at the beach hut property and had an absolutely delightful experience. The hut is charmingly designed and just steps away from the pristine beach, offering stunning ocean views. The hosts were welcoming and provided excellent local recommendations, making our stay even more enjoyable. Their hospitality truly stood out. Overall, I highly recommend this beach hut for a serene and relaxing getaway. I can’t wait to return!

    Lovely, friendly family, especially the mum who made a good breakfast. Great location very close to the beach. Nice to have a balcony in peaceful surroundings. It was great that we could easily organise our trip to pigeon island through the hotel. We really loved Nilaveli. It is a lot quieter and more authentic than other beach areas around here.

    Quiet and great location in Nilaveli, near the beach and a couple of good restaurants. The host and his family were very kind and helped us to arrange a scooter, snorkelling kits, breakfast, and other tips. Big, comfy, fresh and clean room. The little garden and terrace was perfect to chill out. We had a lovely time!
