The hotel is stunning,. the room was massive and so beautiful We only stayed one night and it was lovely to just relax there. The lady who owns it is lovely. We walked to the beach and it's only 5 minutes away. It very quiet and quite remote so if you didn't have a car/bikes it might be difficult getting around. The food was great

Some bugs, but we brought insect repellent and incense and spent most evenings outside very comfortably

We made a mistake the first night and booked a room without AC, but the owner was so good about finding us a new room, which we enjoyed so much we decided to stay 2 extra nights. Breakfast was the best we had on our trip. We’d definitely stay again. Location for us was great, as it was away from the business of Arugam Bay. We had a TukTuk so found it very easy to get about.

We enjoyed our stay at Monsoon Eco Resort so much! The garden is beyond amazing, and waking up to the sound of birds was magical. Breakfast was delicious too!

Nothing

# Finding inner peace in the lap of nature In Whiskey Point, North East Sri Lanka, we discovered an eco-resort called Monson, which became one of the most memorable stops on our trip. Away from the hustle and bustle of the city, Monson Resort is nestled in a natural environment that instantly makes you feel at one with nature. ##Amazing encounters with wildlife During our stay at Monson Resort, we were fortunate enough to witness amazing wildlife. Waking up early in the morning, not far from the window were wild elephants roaming freely, impressing us with their large and graceful figures. The colorful peacocks sometimes unfurled their magnificent tail feathers and glittered charmingly in the sunlight, adding a sense of life and vitality to this peaceful land. <aside> Every morning, wild animals can be seen moving freely in the distance through the windows, and this experience of being so close to nature is a precious moment that cannot be obtained in city life. </aside> ## Accommodation with nature and comfort Monson Resort accommodations combine the elements of nature with comfort. Our rooms are built in the traditional local architectural style using natural materials in harmony with the surroundings. The open-plan design allows us to listen to the sounds of nature - the singing of birds, the rustling of leaves in the breeze, and the occasional call of a herd of elephants in the distance. Each room has been carefully furnished with simplicity and warmth, allowing us to enjoy nature without losing the comforts of modern life. Lying in bed at night, you can see the sky full of stars through the window, and this pure experience is unforgettable. ## Gourmet feasts cooked by the hostesses themselves One of the highlights of Monson Resort is that every meal is cooked by the hostess herself. Using fresh local ingredients, she utilizes traditional Sri Lankan cooking techniques to the fullest.

Monsoon Eco Resort is a lovely place, when you're looking for a beautiful quite stay outside of the classical tourist locations. Vishy is a very friendly and courteous host, who put much effort in the little details and will help you with the organisation of everything you need. The kitchen is absolutely amazing, best food we had in Sri Lanka. Such a heartwarming space, we will miss Vishy and her helping Hands very much

The mosquitos. The bed in the tree house could be a bit taller and the mosquito nett fixed at the bed frame.

The green ambience, it is a little oasis, off the touristic mainstream. Fantastic staff and food.

Make sure to bring enough mosquito repellent. Otherwise you are going to be eaten ;) also, renting a TukTuk might be a great choice to be flexible in moving around.

A truley magical place to slow down and relax. Listening to birds while looking at the rice fields, watching butterflies flying around when sipping on your cappucino. Everyone is open-hearted and very friendly, helping you out with every request. The owners are exeptionally kind, talented and very inspirational. This place has everything you need for calming yourself down. Food and the coffee is very tasty. There is even a little art gallery. The surf spot Pottuvil is in walking distance and so is the place to rent boards.

Just make sure to bring some bug spray for your feet at night!

The garden and entire property was so beautiful and gave a very zen feeling. The trees provided some shade during the hot days and Vishy was so lovely to chat to and gave some helpful advice on the area. Great a quiet location for a nice break for the party in Arugam Bay and was a 10 min walk / 1 min tuk tuk to the surf.

Booking.com taxes for this accomm were significantly higher than every other accomm and I don't know why (eg 40usd on 160usd costs). Booking.com taxes for this accomm were significantly higher than every other accomm and I don't know why (eg 40usd on 160usd costs).

Beautiful natural setting that they've worked hard to create with natural materials and plants. It gets raked/swept/watered everyday to keep it looking great. They allowed an early check-in for us.. Lots of design touches in every area, including a spiral wooden staircase down to our bathroom with sink carved from a solid piece of stone. Lots of nature such as butterfly's, birds, geckos around ... And some even get in your room for a real close up (praying mantis, gecko, insects) 10.min walk to the surfing beach ... And as with all beaches along this coast, strong currents so not good for swimming or small kids. For note: No mosquito net on single bed in the room (this seems normal in Sri Lanka but not sure why) Booking.com taxes for this accomm were significantly higher than every other accomm and I don't know why (eg 40usd on 160usd costs).

Not much. Be aware that juices and coffee are not included in the breakfast. But again those are of a very high standard again and definitely worth it!!

Beautiful place for stay with the family outside the craziness of Arugambay. The food was of a very high standard and facilities perfect.

We loved the friendly welcome and amazing home cooked food in the evenings, the space was so lovely and relaxing! We also loved the outdoor shower with accompanying geckos and little baby frogs. Great recommendations given as well. Thanks Vishy!

Staying at this beautiful property was like being in a dream! There are various options but I stayed in the treehouse which was so cute (very instagrammable😅). It’s set in gorgeous gardens with various lovely plants and flowers, and only a short walk from the beach. The dogs are super cute and food delicious. The very best thing for me were the owners - Vishy and her husband are incredibly warm and welcoming and have decorated the place so gorgeously! There’s art everywhere and you can really see the passion they have for this very special project. I was so sad to leave - it was one of my favourite places in my entire month-long trip.

Made our stay in Arugam Bay. A super comfortable place to stay for a week, with lush surroundings and a great attention to detail. The food was so delicious and the staff and owners incredibly welcoming and always on hand to offer tips for how to enjoy our time in the area. Especially in a place like Arugam Bay where there isn’t a great deal to do other than surfing, staying in a place like Monsoon made all the difference.

The barking dogs, but that’s more a Sri Lanka problem.

Great place to stay nearby the beach. Well decorated by a lovely family. We really like the layback vibe. The food was good as well.

We can't leave this wonderful place :) Thanks to Vishy and her hospitable husband who helped us in every way and with their amazing energy, to Safa who welcomed us with her sincere smile and made delicious coffee every morning, and to Monsoon Eco Resort, which made us feel like our home, see you again 💝

Hammock only in pictures. Restaurant food is overpriced for what you get. No chocolate offered either.

An idyllic garden and homely spirit that feels welcoming and cosy. Remote setting near Pottuvil surf point. Vishy's team - cheerful and helpful.

To sum it up we probably had the best time ever at Monsoon Eco Resort. Vishy and Seneth are the loveliest and most caring hosts you can think of. Together with their staff they made this a truly unique and unforgettable experience. You come as a guest and leave as a friend! The place itself is an oasis in the middle of nature with lots of small details everywhere and very close to Pottuvil Surf Point. Another thing to point out is the delicious food which is always prepared fresh and with local ingredients.
