A peaceful, warm, and affordable stay – highly recommended! The stay was safe, incredibly affordable, and most importantly, stress-free. I felt completely at ease and well cared for during my time there. If you’re looking for a peaceful and meaningful stay near the beach in Nilaveli, I can’t recommend Pranu Guest House enough! I had a truly memorable experience staying at Pranu Guest House in Nilaveli, hosted by Rajan and his wonderful wife. Rajan is one of the most humble and kind-hearted people I’ve met. He takes the time to sit with you, help plan your day or holiday, and is always quick to assist — whether it’s calling a cab, connecting you to a currency exchange person, or even offering a small medical first aid kit, which came in handy when I needed help for a minor cut. He’s not only a great host but also someone who genuinely cares about the environment — he spends his free time contributing to ocean cleanup efforts, which is truly inspiring. His wife is equally lovely and makes delicious, healthy breakfasts that are far better than anything you’ll find in a restaurant — homemade with love, and a perfect way to start the day. With love from India

Amazing hosts, did everything to let me feel extremely welcome and at home. They are currently constructing a new restaurant and even stopped the constructions while I was there to not cause too much noise and keep the privacy. Invited me for a delicious sri lankan rice & curry for dinner and always offered tea. Great place to stay when in Nilaveli!

Very peaceful and quite place for chilling some days and very close from the beach. Suresh and his family try to make my stay very cozy. Everything was very clean. They provide delicious breakfast by order and help me with all my arrangements on the visits I did. I will come back for sure.

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.

This is a simple homestay run by a very enthusiastic host. The room is basic but comfortable and has an en suite bathroom and a ceiling fan. It is a cheap place and great value for money. The location is great. It is close to the local beach and a short tuk tuk ride to the main restaurants on the beach. In the morning they made us breakfast - roti and dahl and coconut sambal for a little bit extra.

The location in Nilaveli is perfect. The beach is 5 minutes walking. It's a very quiet area, perfect to relax. The home stay has a good vibes atmosphere, with a garden with "hamacas", and full day open kitchen. The staff was nice and friendly. The room was very cheap and it has all the basic things you may need. I arrived very early and they stored my luggage, also in the departure day.

We stayed in the older house with a veranda and a lot of shade. The room was cosy with 4 persons but with airco and this is the only thing we needed!!! The beach and a lot of restaurant options in the surrounding walking distance. In the weekend locals tend to build a party near the beach so this was super fun. Try snorkeling (also possible without the expensive 40 dollar visit to pigeon island) or diving. We drive with our own tuktuk which you can stall in the garden. Go and see the cultural part in the nearby Trincomalee.
