Bay Vista, hotel in Arugam Bay

Located in the heart of Arugam, Bay Vista offers modern and comfortable accommodations within a 15-minute walk to the famous Arugam Bay surfing area.

Property is located right on the beach and room was exceptional. Staff and the owners were great. Food was excellent and the breakfast buffet is a must try. We loved our stay at the Bay Vista. Definitely try the sea bath located towards north west side of the beach.

Whisky Point Resort, hotel in Arugam Bay

Located in Pottuvil and with Whiskey Point reachable within 98 feet, Whiskey Point Resort features a restaurant, nonsmoking rooms, free WiFi and a garden.

Whisky point is such a special place and I am so glad that I stayed here. The resort itself is beautiful and the perfect place to escape and disconnect. The staff are all amazing and very welcoming. As a solo female traveller I felt very at home and could have stayed much longer. The food is also delicious, from pasta to pizza and homemade banana bread! The first couple of days I was working remotely and I found it very comfortable with good wifi. After that I spent most of my time relaxing on the beach and enjoying the peaceful tranquility and good vibes. I 100% recommend.

All the rooms were clean, there were only a few so a nice quiet and relaxed atmosphere. Set in a lush garden and less than a minutes walk to the beach. Mohamed was a very sweet man and was constantly bringing me small snacks, anywhere from cakes to chicken and chili pastries, that his mom had made fresh for the guests. Very accommodating and lovely family that own and run lucky!

    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 Further not that spectaculair place to stay, lot is outdated and overprized.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.

    We had a great stay at Dream Garden in Arugam Bay! The staff was friendly and accommodating, particularly the guy at the restaurant and the cook who were just lovely. Our room was decent, and we appreciated the comfortable bedding. The food was amazing! The kitchen makes their own pizza, and the cook is great at advising what to eat. The pool was nice, although the water was a bit warm due to the heat. The hotel is located a bit far away from the hustle and bustle of town, which was great for a relaxing stay.

    This is the beachfront hotel property of a big coconut estate in Arugam Bay, so more space is available to enjoy and chill out. I realize that it gives me more quieter and freedom. Very peaceful place with friendly and helpful staff. Nice dorms, it is located on top of the first floor and you can see the Ocean view when you sleep only hearing the sound of the sea waves creasing against the beach. This choice was a great experience and recommended.

    An amazing place by the beach and with a hammock. But I did a mistake of visiting Arugambay off season( Please check the season dates for here). However Mubarak and his brother were very helpful. Arranged me a Lagoon safari which was quite interesting. Prices seemed a bit high considering it's off season as well. However loved the facilities. Cabana was very clean and has a good balcony and private washroom. Loved it
