    Best And Best Place + ❤️Hidden Gem in Arugum Bay!❤️Location is perfect to everything you need (restaurants, beaches, convenience stores). Property nestled well within nature with a Huge tree keeping the property cool in the afternoons, a hangout area and a fully equipped kitchen at your disposal.

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 Further not that spectaculair place to stay, lot is outdated and overprized.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

    Best place to stay we‘ve seen so far in Arugam Bay. We’ve had some great talks with the super friendly host, who not only gave us good travel advise, but also gave us some insights into the warm welcoming culture lived by the people in Sri Lanka. The perfect location to the beach and restaurants/cafes, the beautiful peaceful garden with hammock and nice plants and trees and the cozy clean rooms were adding to the great experience. Absolutely recommend to stay here.

    Kannan and his wife are the best hosts you can imagine! We had some awesome surfing lessons and he knows everything about arugam bay and the area. Their place is located 2 minutes to the beach and a little off the main road, so it's calm and great to relax. Still it just takes 3 minutes to go to the bars and restaurants. The room was clean and the breakfast was fresh and plenty. We felt so welcome at this great place and will be more than happy to return!

    I had a fantastic stay at Starfish Cabana! The location was perfect, just a 4-minute walk from Arugam Bay and the surfers' spot, making it ideal for both beginners and advanced surfers at Black Beach. Additionally, being so close to the main street with all the restaurants, pubs, and supermarkets was a huge convenience. The vibes at the place were amazing, and the host was exceptionally nice and helpful throughout our stay. Highly recommended!

    Very nice place to stay in Arugam Bay. Great for surfers & travelers too. The rooms are on the upper floor which is nice for more privacy. You can walk to the main surf point easily, then chill on the big terrace or have a juice or snack in the restaurant below. The breakfasts are amazing. Nayana is a great host who personally cares about each guest's well-being. Thank you!
