How many days
in Nilaveli?

The luxury answer: 3 nights.

Nilaveli sits just north of Trincomalee — a long, broad ribbon of pale sand and turquoise water, with Pigeon Island National Park a short boat ride offshore. The east-coast season runs from May to September, when this is one of the calmest swimming beaches on the island.

1. Day 1 — Arrival. Private transfer, slow afternoon, sunset on the beach.
2. Day 2 — Pigeon Island. Sole-use snorkel charter, lunch back at the hotel.
3. Day 3 — Whales or sail. Private whale safari or a long catamaran sail down the coast.
