Nilaveli Beach










Pristine white sands, stretch far into the distance. The gentle waves slip softly to shore. The turquoise ocean seems endless as it blends into the clouds. Slowly, the golden sun lifts above the horizon – paradise at dawn? At Nilaveli Beach Hotel, this is just another ordinary morning. Located 275km from Colombo, on the North East Coast of Sri Lanka, Nilaveli is the ultimate getaway for those who wish for quiet bliss on a tropical heaven, far away from the cares of life.
