Spacious, comfortable, very clean rooms with fridge and safe, good airco, nice bathroom and terrace. Very well situated, just out off the busy centre, quiet and still only a few minutes walk to several good restaurants. Varied and tastefull choice for breakfast, good lunch and dinner on demand. But best of all is the kind and welcoming host Basheer who does everything to ensure you have a pleasant stay! He speaks very good English and can arrange different activities. He arranged surf classes for our teenage sons with experienced teachers at a good price who took them to the best surfing spots, lagoon safari, in-house cooking class and transport to our next destination. And the gentile tuktuk-driver Haroun was always there to take us where we needed! Thanks Basheer and Haroun for the nice time in Arugam Bay!

Location: The location is ideal.It's situated just a few hundred meters away from the main road (Potuvil - Panama) and the beach, giving you the best of both worlds. You get easy access to all the main surf points and town amenities, but you're far enough away to enjoy complete peace and quiet. It's the perfect tranquil escape after a day in the sun. The Room & Amenities: The room was fantastic—very spacious,spotlessly clean, and designed with comfort in mind. It was equipped with all the required amenities, and everything was in great working order. It truly felt like a home away from home. Overall Experience: I can't fault this place.For the comfort, space, and serene atmosphere, it offers incredible value. I would gladly give it a perfect 10 out of 10 for the room and overall experience. It’s a gem that provides a quiet, convenient, and comfortable base for your Arugam Bay adventures. I will definitely be returning on my next trip!

We loved our stay here. Apple, the host, is amazing and recommended a great surf lesson for us. The room was spacious and clean, with good air con and wifi. Outdoor shower was handy for rinsing sand off after the beach. Breakfast was delicious and was different every day.

We love this place so much. This was our second time staying here. We had stayed last year and we were delighted there was availability for our dates this year. The room is great. Clean and spacious, and cool (much needed in Arugam Bay). The place is a short walking distance from the main street but is just far enough away from the bustle and noise, and remains quiet and peaceful (rare in Arugam Bay!). The caretaker Musa is a true gem. I love the communal kitchen area. We really feel at home here and will always choose Gypcey when visiting Arugam Bay. Thanks again to the Gypcey team! Book as far as you can in advance here because there are only a few rooms and it gets booked up quickly - as it should.

Had a lovely stay at Yoga Shack for a week, it's a chilled surf, yoga community vibe. Location is great, right in the centre of town. Mike is an awesome host, attentive, accommodating, and great to hangout with. 3 yoga classes per day, and other cool activities like breathwork and ecstatic dance 🕺 Good wifi. Shared kitchen is always a win.

Having been around all of Arugam Bay, i can only believe that this has to be the place, affordability, friendliness and hospitality from the staff was top tier, also love rolling out of bed to straight in the waves, and also feels good to stay at a place where people come wandering from here and there because of the location
