With Lucky Bay we found the best stay ever on our route through Sri Lanka!
The place ist one of a kind. Everything is in harmony and you can feel a good spirit.
This is because of the amazing garden and the comfortable rooms. Everything is so calm and peaceful and if course very clean.
But the best thing about Lucky Bay is Muhammed the owner.
Muhammed is taking care for all the needs that you can have.
Surf lesson ore any other adventure in Arugam Bay and surrounding areas?
Muhammed is organising it for you well and for a fair price.
Even if you need to see the doctor ore have any other issues, he will sort out the best of the best for you.
If there’s Elefant on the way to the doctor, Muhammed will do a spontaneous safari to get close to them.
Not to forget the beautiful snacks he brings every day cooked by his mama. Delicious!
With Muhammed we found not only a man we trust for 100% and a place that feels like home…
We also found a good friend.

The place is super-cool. Once you entered the garden you feel that you are in a botanical garden. The vegetation is stunning. Then, the design of the entire place is amazing. Our room was very spacious, clean, fresh, comfy. The place is very quiet. The attention to every detail and the commitment to develop something in harmony with the surroundings are the things that really impressed me.

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 Further not that spectaculair place to stay, lot is outdated and overprized.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.
The property is comfortable, beautiful and very well located in Arugam Bay. You have direct access to beach and is walking distance to restaurants and the main streets in Arugam Bay.
We were welcomed by Rinas, the manager, which since first contact was super friendly and helpful. During our stay the entire staff were very nice to talk with, ask questions, arrange trips and spend time together.
I really wish every hotel had a Rinas as a manager, he made our stay very enjoyable!
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.
A hidden oasis in Arugam Bay. It’s in Whisky Point, so perfect if you want some peace from the main town (20 min by scooter or tuktuk). And if you surf it’s closer to the quieter, northern spots…so better imo. ;) Richard manages the place, and he has a wealth of stories and hidden spots to explore. I’d stay longer if I could! Very sweet dog and cat roam the property as well. ❤️ Much love to Arus & Richard for having us here.
We booked two rooms, one with A/C and one with a fan. As expected, the room was very warm at night with the fan, next time I would not do without the air conditioning.
The accommodation is very lovingly decorated and furnished. The location on the edge of Arugam Bay is very relaxed, but close enough to reach everything important in a short walk if needed.
Amazing accommodation in Arugam Bay. Pretty much right on the beach, clean rooms and facilities, can walk to all the restaurants, Kayun runs the hotel and is super friendly and helpful and makes it feel more like a home :)
Also, the breakfast is the best breakfast I’ve had in Sri Lanka (and the juices were great too)
We had an awesome stay at shine Rise Hostel in Arugambay The service was great and the room was very clean and Comfortable., The owner is very young and helpful and tried to help us every single time and they're have a beach party place and bar. We would definitely Come back to this awesome place :)
Sandy Beach is a great location, literally on the fabulous sandy beach, 2 minutes walk and you're in the middle of Arugam Bay town. Hassan, the host, was very welcoming and happy to arrange tuk tuk or taxi services. Good breakfast sat in the open air restaurant looking out over the ocean, fab.
Our room was super spacious and we were happy to get one on the first floor. We really liked to attached terrace.
The hotel is right at the edge of town and you can easily walk to the restaurants and supermarkets. The beach is super close.
Nisha & her brother were really helpful.
the property is definitely the prettiest one in our entire stay in sri lanka. There are palm trees and other greenery everywhere and you could lay in the hammock all day. The staff was very kind as well. If you visit arugam bay i would strongly advise you to stay here

The staff are extremely friendly and cant do enough for you. the food was fresh and delicious and the beach is so private- you have the whole bay to yourself. Its great if what you are looking for is some solitude
Very clean and high quality place, especially compared to other options in Arugam Bay. Staff was most helpful with everything. Breakfast had everything from western to typical Sri Lankan options.
Friendly helpful staff and tasty breakfasts. Comfortable place with a balcony to enjoy the sea breeze. Right in the heart of Arugam Bay village and walking distance to the beach.
Awesome place! Delicious breakfast and the owner is great. He’s very helpful and works hard to make Agra one of the best hostels in Arugam bay. Great value for the price!
Great hosts and super delicious food. And the beach is just arround the corner. For this price this is a perfect stay in Arugam Bay. Totally recommend this place.
