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.

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!

Aside from having good rooms, the staff here were just beyond accommodating. They were kind enough to allow a very early check in, and even allowed us to use our room after check out while waiting for our transportation back to Colombo. Definitely a good place to stay if you’re in Arugam Bay.

    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.

    still relatively not crowded by the locals due to the distance, and miles of unspoiled, beautiful, isolated beaches to be found. Surfers paradise, but the seas can be a bit rough for the average sea goer. accommodation can be a bit overpriced during season but you can find some reasonable accommodation if you search and ask around.

    We had an amazing stay at Bay Dreams Beach Hotel. From the minute we walked in, we were welcome with smiles and incredible service. The staff are friendly and super helpful. We were served with delicious breakfast every morning, which we looked forward to. Rooms are clean, and the aircon works well. We recommend this place to any and all travelers looking for a home away from home in Arugam Bay. We will be back :)

    We had an excellent stay at Nice Place! The owner runs the place in a very professional and competent manner; all that is needed for a great stay is present: the guest is left just to enjoy what Arugam Bay has to offer. The hotel and the rooms are clean, specially compared to other properties in Sri Lanka and the beach is 1 minute walk from the room door.

    It was the perfect base for our visit to Arugam Bay. The rooms are clean, spacious and with a great outdoor terrace. The beach is at the end of the street so you can wake up and jump right in the ocean. The owners of the hotel were lovely as well, and were happy to help with anything. Highly recommend.
