Between the palms
A place to settle in
Wooden cabanas, shaded corners and the beach just outside. Come with family, someone special, or simply a little time for yourself.
Ayubowan (May you live long and healthy!)
Our little corner of Nilaveli, golden sand between the palms and the Indian Ocean.
A welcome from Nilaveli
A little closer to the sea. A little further from the rush.
- Ayubowan
- May you live long and healthy. The island’s welcome, and ours.
A small boutique resort offering a tranquil stay on Nilaveli beach. Wooden cabanas, shaded palms and the Indian Ocean just outside. Step onto the sand and make time for a slower kind of day.
Life at Nilaveli Beach Resort
At the water’s edge
The coast sets the rhythm
Wake early for the light over the Indian Ocean. Spend the day between the pool and the sand, then linger a little longer as evening arrives.
Further afield
An island beyond the beach
The temples of Trincomalee, a boat toward Pigeon Island, and the life beneath the surface. Ask us about experiences for your dates; sea trips depend on season, weather and conditions.
