Featuring a garden, terrace and views of garden, The Wave Rooms & Hostel is located in Arugam Bay, 300 metres from Arugam Bay Beach. The property is set 3.8 km from Muhudu Maha Viharaya, 5 km from Crocodile Rock and 5.5 km from Lagoon Safari - Pottuvils. The accommodation provides a 24-hour front desk, airport transfers, a shared kitchen and free WiFi. The property has a great location that’s central to town but in a quiet street. The room and bed were spacious and comfortable. The kitchen is clean as well. Rinas was so helpful while I was in a stressful situation with my shuttle never arriving. He found another ride for me last minute and saved the day. 10/10 would recommend!

Featuring garden views, The Woodnest offers accommodation with balcony, around 200 metres from Arugam Bay Beach. The property features quiet street views and is 3.8 km from Muhudu Maha Viharaya and 4.5 km from Crocodile Rock. The villa provides rooms with air conditioning, free private parking and free WiFi. We really enjoyed our stay at Woodnest. The rooms are simple but nicely done – clean, comfortable, and surprisingly spacious. They might not be super fancy, but for the price (especially compared to other places in the area), they’re genuinely such a good find. The location is peaceful, and the setting has a really nice, natural feel to it. But what made the experience even better was the friendly and helpful staff – everyone we spoke to was kind and welcoming, which added such a nice touch to the stay. If you’re looking for a solid, no-fuss place that still feels well cared for and has a bit of charm, Woodnest is definitely worth it. Can u change this a little

Situated within 100 metres of Arugam Bay Beach and 3.2 km of Muhudu Maha Viharaya, Tropicana Home Stay features rooms with air conditioning and a private bathroom in Arugam Bay. With garden views, this accommodation offers a terrace. The accommodation provides a 24-hour front desk, a shared kitchen and currency exchange for guests. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted by an incredibly friendly and welcoming host family. Their warm hospitality and hapiness brought a smile to our faces every single day of our stay. We enjoyed playing cards with them in the evening. We had the basic room, which still is very comfortable. The bathroom in this room is basic but has everything you need. The room has a new AC. One of the highlights of our experience was the variety of services offered by the hotel. We had the pleasure of participating in a cooking class where we learned to prepare delicious Byriani, went on an unforgettable safari adventure (saw lots off animals including a leopard). They also do great laundry. Moreover, our surfing lessons with the Surf guide Risi was so good. He helpt us get so many waves each session. Perfect for totall beginners aswell as for advanced beginners.

Located in Arugam Bay, within 60 metres of Arugam Bay Beach and 3.1 km of Muhudu Maha Viharaya, Lucky Bay provides accommodation with a garden and free WiFi as well as free private parking for guests who drive. The property is situated 4.9 km from Lagoon Safari - Pottuvils, 5.2 km from Crocodile Rock and 8.1 km from Elephant Rock. The accommodation features room service, a 24-hour front desk and currency exchange for guests. We had a perfect stay at Lucky Bay. The rooms are right on the main street at Arugam Bay, meaning you’re one turn away from most shops and eateries. We didn’t have to use an auto rickshaw the entire time we stayed. The rooms are standard for Arugam Bay in general, but very clean, relatively quiet at night and with good AC. Last but definitely not least, the host/housekeeper Mo was gracious, diligent and respectful. He goes the extra mile to help his guests with anything they ask, and deserves all credit for his great service. Big ups and all five stars to Mo and the team!

You have your own pirvate beach, a little cabana, good food at the restaurant and it is the cleanest hotel we have been in Sri Lanka.

Iqbal and his staff were so warm and welcoming! They went above and beyond making sure I felt comfortable and enjoyed my stay! I was welcomed with delicious pineapple juice and a pastry. I ended extending my stay because it was such a warm and cozy place to spend a few days at the beach. Beach access is a few meters away. Iqbal also arranged surf lessons to peanut farm and I couldn’t recommend them enough! Best surf coach I’ve ever had! The room was very clean and spacious with hangers for wet clothes and storage. The hammocks outside each room are a very nice touch and relaxing. Each morning, the breakfast was very good and tasty! Lots of fresh fruit! Whatever you need, Iqbal and his team will take care of. Had a lot of nice chats with Iqbal. He will be missed! Wish I could stay for longer. Will definitely be back to this cozy piece of paradise.
