our story

Cbeyond
Nilaveli

Nilaveli, located in Trincomalee, in the East Coast of Sri Lanka was largely unvisited for many years and as a result began to experience larger scale development only a few years back.  The people remain simple and warm, the pace is relaxed and slower here than on the other parts of the island and the landscape is stunning.

The concept for C Beyond was designed by friend and renown Sri Lankan Artist Laki Senanayake who has fond memories of visiting the area and swimming in this lagoon during his childhood. The elevated wooden structure of the main house has a rustic charm ideal for this beach setting and lends itself to comfortable daylong breezes. Cooling water ponds and pools, Laki’s signature, surround the building and his art and sculpture can be found all around the property. Laki often visits here, saying it’s one of his favourite places to be!

Many of our staff are from the village in which we are located and were involved during the set up and construction of the property and asked to be trained to stay on and work here once we opened. They have welcomed the opportunity to grown with C Beyond and their genuine hospitality and enthusiasm is felt by our guests.

C Beyond is a celebration of creativity, friendship and simple pleasures that we hope can be enjoyed by everyone who stays with us.

I wrote this as we left the beautiful C beyond which will now have a special place in my heart. No where else have I stayed that has been so warm and inviting. We felt so relaxed and at home. The philosophy for running the hotel is evident in every aspect of the property. Their genuine love and care for the culture, local people, animals and land is exceptional.

C Beyond was everything that I was looking for a deep breath and exhale after intense traveling on the island. The architect Laki Senanayake designed the home that has become the current intimate boutique hotel. This was such a treat because of the way the hotel is a part of the natural environment. The sea view is breathtaking and the tropical garden nestled in the small village made me feel connected and comforted. And to learn that Laki was the draftsman for the Sri Lankan architect Geoffrey Bawa added to my appreciation of how the hotel is situated and designed

Wonderful place. Perfect location with views across to Pigeon Island. Relaxed, comfortable, quiet, beautiful. There is a private beach beyond the hotel beach gate where you will be disturbed only by the occasional cow! Breakfast was fabulous. Evening meals available and we're very good. Eric and all the really lovely staff were so helpful. We stayed in one of the first floor rooms with views overlooking the freshwater pond and beyond to the sea. Lots of bird activity to see too.
