Mountain and Galway Forest View Residencies
Had an awesome stay at Sugath’s apartment! The place was super clean, tidy, and exactly like the photos. Felt really comfortable and at home. Would definitely stay again!

Green Lake View Condo
We booked Cheshan's place in less than 12 hours before arriving. The host quickly replied to our questions. He and the caretaker were very helpful and agreed to take our luggage for storage before checking in. The place itself is lovely and within walkable distance to the center and the lake. The apartment is in the new building with underground parking and a pub nearby. The bathrooms were clean and well maintained. Highly recommend this apartment for fellow travelers.

Sandy Shores. Beachfront apartment. 𝙉𝙞𝙡𝙖𝙫𝙚𝙡𝙞
This is probably the best place to stay in Sri Lanka. It is a 6 hour drive from Colombo to Nilaveli, but it is definitely worth it to enjoy the stunning ocean and the excellent services in this apartment. 1. Amazing ocean. There is a great coastline with azure water and a convenient entry into the sea. Clean light yellow sand without any stones, rocks, jellyfish or sea urchins. Also in the OceanFront complex there is a great swimming pool. 2. Amazing apartment! We really liked the apartment where we stayed. Great sea view, everything you need for living and relaxing. The staff at the complex helped us with check-in and check-out. 3. OceanFront. This is a complex of several buildings. The main building has a small gym and a restaurant. There is also an excellent restaurant near the neighboring hotel. 4. Great hosts! Rory and Elaine went above and beyond to make us feel at home! And of course, Rasmi helped us a lot with everything!

Beach Bliss , Nilaveli
First things first, the photos don’t do the place justice! The apartment really is beautiful, there is so much space, it is very well equipped and felt really homely. The pool area is excellent and you are right on the beach. It’s perfect for early morning walks and evening swims, of which we did both. The bed was really comfortable too. Handy having a restaurant on site. Highly recommend this property.

Villa 232 - The Boat House - Dutch Bay Trincomalee
We loved our stay! We wanted a place to rest and unwind while travelling through Sri Lanka and this fit our needs perfectly. The housekeeper, Kasthuri was so pleasant and we had the best breakfasts. Thank you!

Center of Town: Beach 12 mins away
The house was super beautiful on the inside and outside the star and the host did such a wonderful job. It was in the major intersection and easy to find and do things around the area. It was such a wonderful experience. Will be back again when in trinco

A quiet, private beach house
I really struggled to write this review because there are no words to describe the hospitality we felt from Leann and Azeer. We felt at home and looked after from the moment we stepped foot on Sri Lankan soil. I feel like we have made friends for life. The whole trip felt serendipitous start-to-end. Leann has been more than generous with her time and her energy. We couldn’t be more grateful. And Azeer can make anything happen. The house is simple, but beautiful. The location is gorgeous, especially at sunset. We spent two blissful weeks here and wanted to stay longer. Not only did we fall in love with the place, we fell in love with Leann, Azeer and Bruno, who is one of the sweetest dogs I have encountered. It was a 10/10 experience start to end. I cannot recommend it enough!

Villa 252-The Fishermen's Suite - Dutch Bay Trinco
One of our favourite accomodations while travelling Sri Lanka. The location was perfect; right on the beach, centrally located and easily accessible. Our host, Kasthuri, was lovely.

Blue Lake Ridge - Lake view - Standard Room 2
We had a lovely one night stay here. The place was tranquil and serene right next to the lake. We meditated in the morning and it was pure bliss! The room was spacious, very comfortable and very clean. Krishna was incredibly kind and communicative. The food was also so so delicious! Traditional Sri Lankan curry made with love. Highly highly recommend!

Blue Lake Ridge - Lake view - Big Room 1
Krishan is the man. One of the nicest guys we have met in Sri Lanka. His wife is very nice as well as being an amazing cook. The place is very clean and has a stellar air conditioner. The shower is the best part though, hot/cold and the best water pressure we have had yet. Krishan and his family took great care of us and Maha Oya is a great little town to walk around in as well as the surrounding area. Cheers for the great stay

Lovely apartment in the very quiet area of Nilaveli. Beautiful beach right on your doorstep and a lovely well maintained pool.

Great place for a vacation. Host was accommodative and very responsive.

"Beach Haven Nilaveli" a home away from home
The apartment was beautiful! Spotless, with a beautiful view overlooking Nilaveli beach. The swimming pool was amazing, and the beach right ahead was BEAUTIFUL! We thoroughly enjoyed our short stay and would definitely recommend. Also there were lots of restaurants local- great seafood restaurants and Lankan style cuisine. My family had a lot of fun! 😌 would definitely come back if Im ever in the trinco area again!

Araliya OceanFront Condos Nilaveli, Trincomalee
We stayed here for 6 nights at the end of a three week trip around Sri Lanka. It was a great way to end the trip, in a clean, air-conditioned and spacious apartment overlooking the sea. The setting is perfect - sunrise over the sea and picture postcard beach and palms in between. The apartment is part of a larger complex, but it never felt crowded and the pool and surrounding greenery were lovely. It’s clean, comfortable and spacious, perfect for a family. There are a few restaurants and amenities within walking distance but most stuff is either a hot walk or a tuk tuk ride away. It’s worth pointing out that if you’re planning to self-cater, there aren’t many grocery stores in the area and those that are there are sometimes sparsely provisioned. We tended to have breakfast in the apartment and then lunch and dinner locally. All in all, a fantastic base for a relaxing few days - we’d happily return and can equally happily recommend it.

Blue Sails Nilaveli《 Swim, Snorkel, Dive & Dine 》
Loved the place here. Everything was so organised and felt like we were staying in a 5 star property. The beach view was amazing! We made full use of our 2 day stay here by going to the beach and the pool. I had only 1 issue which is the lock in the common bathroom was not working. This was fixed in 1 day but , so that would be the only issue I faced. Outside of that I will highly recommend this place!

Luxury penthouse , beachfront, Nilaveli, Srilanka.
This is the best Airbnb I’ve ever stayed at. If you’re looking at this listing and still trying to decide, please just book this place. You won’t regret it. The pool is pristine, the ocean is close, and the views are immaculate. The kitchen and living area are kitted out - I especially appreciated the Bluetooth speaker and the washer / dryer.
