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, clean, quiet place. It is located 50 meters to the beach which is very comfortable. Rooms are equipped with A/C. Nice surfing school named "Surf with Deen" is located next-door. There are many restaurants within walking distance. So, it is very good place to stay when you are in Arugam Bay.

From the beginning on, everything was perfect. The receptionist manager took care about us and was always around to deal with customers in case they need something. Very generous, kind person. Thank you for such a nice stay and we will definitely come back one day. 3 water bottles in room and very clean. We just wish you all good luck and continue like this!

The hotel is phenomenal. The lovely German owner is really accommodating and friendly. The staff are also great. Everything about this place is perfect and if I could give it a 12 I would. We went during the off season (January) so the town was very quiet, which made having this accommodation all the more better.

The hotel is SUPER! The best hotel during my entire trip to Sri Lanka (I was in more than 15 hotels in 24 days). Very cozy atmosphere. There are only 6 bungalows in hotels, it's not overcrowded. Delicious food, better than in the most cafes on the island. Very comfortable and friendly hosts! The pool is great! Everything is thought out - deck chairs, a place for sunbathing right in the water. The pool is surrounded of palm trees! It's about 50-100 meters to the sea. The only negative thing for lovers of flat water is big waves on the coast. Therefore, I spent 3 days next to the pool and absolutely happy about this! ))) But also it has a very beautiful sunrise! You should check in my photos

Excellent location, 10 minutes by foot from Arugam Bay, Pasarichenai beach and city center. This homestay is outside enough to avoid the crowd and noise from the city center. It's run by a very sweet family who offered us drinks at our arrival. This very rustic place also has a restaurant with tasty food and affordable prices (recommend the home-made rottis). For those who wish a nice, calm home stay outside while being able to enjoy Arugam Bay. NB: They also have a cheap tuktuk you can use to get around.

We had an amazing time staying at these beautiful new bungalows in Arugam Bay. The place has a fresh, stylish design and was incredibly comfortable – perfect for relaxing after a day of adventure. Everything felt clean, modern, and thoughtfully put together. The host was absolutely fantastic – so friendly and helpful throughout our stay. He went above and beyond to organize a special trip for us where we saw wild crocodiles and elephants in their natural habitat. It was an unforgettable experience and truly a once-in-a-lifetime memory! If you’re looking for a peaceful, beautiful place to stay with great hospitality and a touch of adventure, this is it. We can’t recommend it enough!

    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.

    still relatively not crowded by the locals due to the distance, and miles of unspoiled, beautiful, isolated beaches to be found. Surfers paradise, but the seas can be a bit rough for the average sea goer. accommodation can be a bit overpriced during season but you can find some reasonable accommodation if you search and ask around.

    First, the location of the hotel was perfect, so conveniently placed in relation to every place I wanted to go to in Arugam Bay. The hotel is charming, a wide-open space that affords a beautiful view of, and great access to, the beach. My room was spacious and clean, and had all the amenities I required. The staff were beyond wonderful, so helpful and accomodating, which made a short trip with complicated travel times so much easier to bear. Last, this place was a steal for the nightly rate

    I enjoyed my stay at Twinkle Bay Hotel. The rooms are adequate and clean. It is in a prime location in Arugam Bay, not far from the beach and the shopping street. The hostel owner Muza is very accommodating and nice. He took care of all my needs. From staying in the hotel room after I checked out to taking me to the bus station from where I left. I loved it and would come back anytime!

    We stayed at several different hotels during our time at Arugam Bay. Rams was not only the best value for money, but was also the most comfortable, clean and enjoyable stay that we had. The cafe/library attached was beautifully constructed with great food/coffee and was a great place to relax and talk to new people.
