    It's a place for beach lovers and surfers.

    It's a place for beach lovers and surfers. Further not that spectaculair place to stay, lot is outdated and overprized. For nature lovers is Kumana the place to be and for that reason you stay in Arugam Bay. One village further is Panama, with a little accommodation to stay.

    It is a must destination for any traveller who is interested in surfing. There are shops to buy your needs and many more. You can find good restaurants where they serve meals at any time. Kumana the wild life sanctuary for birds is nearby to where you can arrange transport at Arugumbay. Apart from birds, crocodiles. Leopards. Bears and elephants can be sighted. Though this is situated at east coast there are places where you can observe sunsets as well.

    Best place to stay we‘ve seen so far in Arugam Bay. We’ve had some great talks with the super friendly host, who not only gave us good travel advise, but also gave us some insights into the warm welcoming culture lived by the people in Sri Lanka. The perfect location to the beach and restaurants/cafes, the beautiful peaceful garden with hammock and nice plants and trees and the cozy clean rooms were adding to the great experience. Absolutely recommend to stay here.

    Breakfast was good staff were great and really helped us settle in showing us the area and sorting out surf lessons etc. The pool was great and all the facilities were functioning. Great location for whisky point. With water safari available nearby. About 20 minutes from Arugam Bay by tuk tuk for about 2000 rps if you fancy a noisy night out on the beachfront. Overall though the hotel was good and more importantly the staff were exceptional.

    Very nice place to stay in Arugam Bay. Great for surfers & travelers too. The rooms are on the upper floor which is nice for more privacy. You can walk to the main surf point easily, then chill on the big terrace or have a juice or snack in the restaurant below. The breakfasts are amazing. Nayana is a great host who personally cares about each guest's well-being. Thank you!
