This place is a "pearl in the rough" ! It was like being in Bali twenty years ago with all it's rustic charm and eating the best Italian food out of Italy ! The owners could not do enough....the staff were friendly yet efficient. I celebrated a birthday there with a cake and beach bonfire....sublime ! And, a rarity, saw a beautiful Leopard on safari. Best birthday in 65 years !

Beautiful cabana’s in a quiet and well maintained garden at almost a private bay. Great airco, ice cold private fridge in the room and even a fan on the terrace. Incredible friendly staff. Great food - breakfast jaffles and banana pancakes, curries and noodles for dinner and the delicious milkshakes

Nice pool, large room, the accommodation is good, but a little bit expensive. Arugam Bay makes at the moment a change, the prices are getting high, when we came the last time many things changed (the restaurants and bars we knew, we’re not there anymore) and the service is for tourists

The location, exactly on the beach is wonderful. The rooms with sea view, which are large and bright, have a small individual terrace that allows you to enjoy the beach without treading on the sand. From the second floor, you overlook the entire bay and you can watch the ballet of fishermen leaving and returning from the open sea with their fish. All hotel staff are particularly friendly and try to help guests as much as possible. During my stay, I was able to take advantage of the covered rooftop to do my morning gym thanks to Mr Lucky, the manager, who allowed me access. He and his employees have always been attentive to ensuring that I lacked nothing. The continental breakfast at the hotel is original and tasty. The restaurant is also very good with attentive service.

Wonderful place This has been a wonderful stay! We had our own little bungalow in a garden surrounded by palm trees! It had both AC and a fan! The place has a nice pool and is lying right on the beach! 🤩 The staff greeted us in a heartwarming way when we arrived late in the evening and made us a good meal, even despite the fact that our booking didn't come through in time as we booked it late. They are all very kind and helpful with everything! The Sri Lankan food they make is amazing, and they know how to take care of you! I highly recommend this place! 🌞If you are here to surf, they are happy to arrange this for you! Raja, the older gentleman, a positive soul, and a happy person was great to us!❤️ If you want secluded prestine beaches, then this place and Whiskey Point is perfect for you!

This place is absolutely beautiful with stunning views all around! The hotel itself is big, stylish, and very comfortable. We really loved the nature here — everything is so green, peaceful, and full of life. The atmosphere is amazing — cozy, private, and relaxing. One of the highlights for us were the dogs — so friendly and sweet, they made our stay even more special! 🐶 The hotel doesn’t have too many rooms, which makes it feel more private and exclusive — perfect for a peaceful, quiet holiday. The staff are super friendly and always ready to help with anything. The hotel has a large area with beautiful spaces, amazing design, and lots of places to relax and enjoy. Everything feels thought-through and high quality. We truly enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend it! 💫

I initially booked for 2 nights and then ended up staying for a week. Hassan was a fantastic host and was able to help with travel arrangements and plans. My room was comfortable and had a view of the beach from my balcony (the beach was about 15m away as the hotel is right on the beach). It's located far enough away from the point and busy end of town that it's nice and quiet at night but only about 15 minutes walk down the beach or main road to all busier bars. I would happily come back and stay here again for an extended stay. Compared with other places I stayed in Arugam Bay my room here was larger and to a much higher standard.

You are more likely to meet a European than a local here.

You are more likely to meet a European than a local here. This is definately not a reflection on Sri Lankan culture, however the beach town is slow and quiet (realtively speaking) and there are plenty of shops and restaurants. And of coure, the surf is consistent and the water warm. It's a winner for a beach holiday.

The best feature of Arugam Bay is the surrounding jungle, lakes and lagoons. The main beach is very busy but other beaches, such as Peanut Farm are less crowded, Do thye Lagoon Safari and a park safari but also try surfing and relaxing on the beach.
