Featuring garden views, Ocean Bliss in Pottuvil provides accommodations and a garden. This property offers access to a terrace, free private parking, and free Wifi.

The location was excellent. Very close to the beach, the surfing point and the restaurants. We had our bags stored before our room was ready, and when we left we could keep the room for the entire day until our night bus arrived since the room had not been booked by others. New AC working very well. Room and bathroom was clean.

Located in Arugam Bay, Forcus Cabanas offers peaceful and quiet accommodations set amid lush tropical greenery. It operates a 24-hour front desk and provides comfortable rooms with free WiFi access.

The bedrooms and bathrooms were clean and tidy. The host was friendly and helpful. The place is near the beach and restaurants. The room looked nice and was equipped with a mini bar and A/C. Nice place to relax. I recommend this place to anyone.

Offering garden views, Eastwind Surf Camp in Arugam Bay offers accommodations and a garden. There's a private entrance at the guest house for the convenience of those who stay.

The location was great and the staff was helpful. We checked in early and it was no issue. They also helped us when our tuk tuk got stuck in the sand! The outdoor seating is comfortable to spend evenings at, too.

Featuring a garden, Maccan's Village offers accommodations in Arugam Bay.

We loved our stay at Maccan's - the proximity to the beach is great, the service provided by staff was above and beyond what we have encountered to date on this journey. The rooms are spacious and provide ample lightning and privacy to relax. We felt our room was well priced - the water in shower is not super hot however, this did not impact negatively on our stay. The pool and pool surroundings are excellent to meet and converse with other guests - we found this an excellent opportunity to discuss other Sri Lankan and Arugam Bay experiences we may of other wised missed. Not to mention the crew at Maccan's are fairly handy surfers and will be more than happy to discuss - how best to assist you catching some Arugam Bay waves.

Just a few steps from Arugam Bay Beach and a 7-minute walk from Pasarichenai Beach, Upali Beach Surf Resort & Café features accommodations in Arugam Bay, with a private beach area, a garden, and a...

There was nothing not to love about this place! We had stayed a night prior in Arugam Bay which was completely mediocre and for the same cost we were able to come out here. Have a great location on the water, our own bungalo, a quiet place at night (not a party hotel), and watching the surfers on the break. The manager was very friendly and the staff also super helpful, carrying our bags down from where we parked our car about 500m away. Through and through can not recommend enough and will be back!

Located just an 8 minute walk away from the scenic Arugambay Beach, East Surf Cabana is located in Arugam Bay. Free WiFi access is available in the restaurant.

A lovely guesthouse, away from the main strip but still walkable to everything you need. The host and staff were so nice. The grounds were beautiful and well kept. The breakfast was delicious and there were many options to choose from.

    Amazing location next to a beach. Loved resting in a hammock with an ocean view. Everything is clean and nice. Murali cooks really good. His food was very tasty. Uncle Sella and Murali were very helpful and great hosts. In two months we are coming back!

    The location is 10 min walking from the beach and 20 min from pottovil surfing. Location is quiet, yet close enough to the beach and surfing point. The garden of the property is beautiful with a nice seating area for breakfast and dinner.

    Property is in a great location close to the Main Street, the beach and main surf point. The hosts are so lovely, and offer to prepare breakfast/coffee/juice every morning - we were only supposed to be staying for 5 nights but ended up extending for another 5 as the room is such good value for money. It’s clean, spacious, has a fan and A/C which is all we needed out of a room. Thankyou for having us

    The property was amazing! It was very quiet and peaceful. The chalet was such a fun spot to stay a few nights, surrounded by a beautiful garden and art made by the owner. You can tell they have put a lot of love and thought into the details and it just feels a little bit magical staying there :) The food was delicious and the hosts were so kind and accomodating. It’s an easy walk to the beach.
