Whisky Point Resort was absolutely amazing! It was a five star experience from the moment we arrived. The Resort is breathtaking and the privat beach and cabanas are so beautiful and clean.

The location was great. If you don't want to stay in crowded Arugambay this is the right place for you. 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.

Stay Golden has been one of our favourite stays of our entire time in Sri Lanka. Beautiful bungalows/apartments, the sweetest staff (our kids still miss them) and delicous and healthy food available from 8 AM until 9 PM. What we really liked was that there were always several families staying here and that the owners was also pretty much always around with their family, it created a nice and homely vibe in which we felt very welcome. Big thanks to Rihan and Angie and we hope to visit again some day!

A great place for those who appreciate comfort and service. The staff was very kind and helpful, any request was fulfilled in a short time. You could relax and enjoy your holiday. Pleased with the cleanliness of the pool - it was cleaned every morning. The guests of the hotel are also nice people, mostly Europeans who have a rest without children. The room has many pleasant little things that are made with love. The bed is magnificent, every time I lay down on it, it was as if I fell into a cloud.

The hotel is absolutely new. Our room was spacious, fresh, and very clean, with a nice and well-maintained bathroom. If I ever visit Arugam Bay again, I would definitely stay here again — out of all the hotels in this price range, this one is the best! The hotel is run by a very polite and kind family who made us feel welcome. The location was excellent — on the main road, within walking distance to cafes for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and just a 10-minute tuk-tuk ride to the beach, but you can also walk to it (20 minutes) It was quiet at night, and we had a very peaceful stay. There’s also a lake next to the hotel, where elephants sometimes come to drink — a beautiful sight to witness. All guest rooms are located on the second floor. They also plan to open a restaurant soon on the ground floor.

We had an amazing time staying at these beautiful new bungalows in Arugam Bay. The place has a fresh, stylish design and was incredibly comfortable – perfect for relaxing after a day of adventure. Everything felt clean, modern, and thoughtfully put together. The host was absolutely fantastic – so friendly and helpful throughout our stay. He went above and beyond to organize a special trip for us where we saw wild crocodiles and elephants in their natural habitat. It was an unforgettable experience and truly a once-in-a-lifetime memory! If you’re looking for a peaceful, beautiful place to stay with great hospitality and a touch of adventure, this is it. We can’t recommend it enough!

    We recently enjoyed a lovely stay at Paper Moon in Arugam Bay, and it was the perfect place for our family to rest and relax. Nestled just outside of town, this charming spot offered us the tranquility we were looking for, away from the hustle and bustle. Our two young children had a fantastic time exploring the beautiful grounds and spent countless hours swimming in the pool, which we also thoroughly enjoyed. The atmosphere was inviting, and it felt like a home away from home. The staff at Paper Moon were truly wonderful—warm, friendly, and attentive to our needs. Every morning, we were greeted with smiles and treated to a delicious Sri Lankan breakfast that set the tone for a great day ahead. While this isn’t a luxury escape, the facilities were clean and tidy, with excellent air conditioning that was a lifesaver on hot days. We appreciated the lovely open social areas, allowing us to spend quality time together as a family without disturbing other guests. Overall, we loved our stay at Paper Moon and would definitely come back again! Highly recommended for families looking for a relaxing getaway.

    We had a fantastic stay at Aprota Villas during our recent trip to Arugam Bay. From start to finish, our experience was exceptional. We stayed in a spacious and beautifully designed Chalet that was both elegant and comfortable. The excellent service was complemented by quality food, which was a highlight of our stay. Priyantha and his team were excellent in providing an exceptional service. We relied on the WiFi throughout our stay and were impressed by how fast and consistent it was from all areas of the property. The property itself is stunning—a true beachfront haven with gorgeous main swimming pool set within lovely, manicured gardens. It’s the ideal choice for anyone seeking a luxurious and peaceful holiday in a breathtaking environment in Arugam Bay. We cannot recommend Aprota Villas highly enough!

    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.
