Nilaveli is a coastal resort town located on the East Coast of Sri Lanka, known for its beautiful soft white sand beaches and clear shallow seas. The area is perfect for swimming, snorkeling, and feasting your eyes on shoals of jewel-hued fish darting among the surrounding coral and rocks. Pigeon Island National Park, situated 1 km off the coast of Nilaveli, contributes to the area's rich biodiversity. Visitors can enjoy various boat-based activities, including trips to Pigeon Island for snorkeling and safaris to spot whales and dolphins. The local people, mainly Tamil, are generous and genuine in their hospitality, making it a great place to visit with family and friends

Activities: We spent a few days in a nice resort. Because we weren't traveling in high season, we booked the accommodations mostly spontaneously shortly before arrival or even on site, after a visit. We were flexible and were able to get a real bargain
Highlights: We enjoyed the relaxing time at the beach in a beautiful resort ✨
