Bay Vista is the place to stay at Arugam Bay. Lovely family run place, tastefully designed and directly at the beach. People are overwhelmingly charming, warm & witty over here and it’s a dream to dine here & enjoy the Yoga on the rooftop - and then go surfing. One of our worldwide favorites 🌺🏝️🌊🏄🕉️❤️

Sky Sea is modern and clean. The beds are really comfy and the rooms are a good size. It is close to the town and the beach but quiet. The staff are incredibly friendly and helpful.

    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.

    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.
