Excellent location - 20 meters to the beach, the Main Street with all caffès and shops. 15 min driving to Peanut Farm - the starting point for beginners in surfing. Banana Cafe is just next to the hotel and has very nice food and drinks. Mohammed is very friendly, he gave us delicious cakes, arranged surfing classes for us, always helped us with everything we need. Other staff were also very helpful. The room was clean, has good AC, the bed was comfy. We really enjoyed staying at Lucky Bay.

Absolutely stunning, private, peaceful and relaxing. Our whole stay at Blue Water was perfect, the cabanas are cute, clean and spacious for couples. We couldn’t fault anything. We stayed for my 40th birthday and the team decorated our room, what a lovely surprise on entry. Although there is no air conditioning, the fans in the room are sufficient and the cabanas are designed well with openings for a breeze. Rinos is amazing, he was so attentive and looked after all of our needs. He’s really friendly, a pleasure to meet and an excellent chef. Sudha and Dinosan are both phenomenal, they make sure the whole area around the cabanas are pristine, they take so much pride and leave patterns in the sand for guests. There is a good variety of food, the fresh juices are so tasty. We had breakfast and dinner most days and Rinos catered for our tastes. The beach is private and only a few steps away, most days we were the only ones there, it is paradise. At night we fell asleep to the sound of the waves. Thank you Blue Water you made our stay unforgettable.

Swiss Bay Hotel & Resort Arugam bay: A Fantastic Stay! My recent stay at Swiss Bay Hotel & Resort in Arugambay was absolutely wonderful, and I can't recommend it enough for anyone visiting the area.

The staff were very helpful and friendly, and the room was clean and comfortable. There’s a kitchen with a fridge and cooking facilities, which was great! It’s in a great location, close enough to the beach and restaurants, but far enough from the busy main strip if you want some quiet time. The staff also cooked me the best food on request! Even better than what I had at any restaurant!

    The room is big and comfortable, very clean. The stuff cleans the shared areas every day. The stuff is very nice and polit! The hotel is the closest to the ocean - I can literally here the ocean from my hammock, there is a private hammock for every room! I used the laundry service it was good, also fair price (compare to the town). There is an A/C in the room. Its not too close to the city - and not too far, every thing is so close so you can get there by 2 minutes. and I like that distance! So you don't here the parties and firework during the night. WiFi was good and a digital nomad and I could work from the room - there is also a table for the computer!

    The hotel is in a peaceful area, 1 minute away from the beach. It's in a quiet area and at the same time close to different cafes, bars and parties. The room was very clean. The hotel has a small garden and it looks peaceful. Rifai, the owner of the hotel is incredibly kind and accommodating. He went above and beyond to ensure that my stay was comfortable and enjoyable. I truly appreciated his hospitality, and desire to help: find a surf-instructor, book a bus, etc. The breakfasts were really delicious. I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone who is looking for an enjoyable stay.

    We had a wonderful day at Aprota Villas. The property is stunning and incredibly peaceful. The entire space feels thoughtfully maintained from the gardens to the rooms. The rooms were spacious, spotless and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The Wi-Fi worked very well throughout our stay, and it is not too far from the hotel to the surfing sites that made it so easy to explore the area. The staff were incredibly helpful, always ready to assist with a smile.

    The location is wonderful, it felt like a home away from home, there’s only 4 rooms and it’s a very family style athmosphere. All the staff, Faahim, Malik and Subahan were incredibly helpful, and representing Sri Lankan hospitality and kindness at its best. The food is homestyle freshly cooked, and simply delicious. Our kids were obsessed with the house dogs, who accompanied us to the beach for a walk and swim :) we miss this place already and hope to be back soon!

    There are a variety of accommodations at beach hut but all our creatively done, whimsical, and beautiful. I was in the simplest hut and it was exactly what I wanted... sleeping with the sound of the waves in a leafy garden. The location is the best possible and the staff were wonderful. I was there in low season so was almost alone but I'm sure the buzz is great there when it's full.

    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.
