Highly recommend this private villa for a family or a group of friends visiting ArugamBay. Super clean with accommodating house staff who can sort out all your needs. Just an 8 min walk to the beach and shops. Each room has its own bathroom and AC which makes it even more convenient and worth it.

Luxury comfort just steps from the beach! I had a wonderful stay at Swiss Bay and can't recommend it enough. The rooms are incredibly clean and feel very modern. I loved the luxury bathroom—it’s rare to find such high-quality finishes in the area. Having tea and coffee amenities right in the room was a great touch for early mornings on the spacious balcony. The location is perfect; it’s a quiet spot but literally only a 2-minute walk to the beach. If you're looking for comfort and convenience in Arugam Bay, this is the place to be!

Very clean, comfortable accommodation in quiet peaceful surroundings. We slept so well here! The food is great, the hosts are amazingly kind and helpful with anything you may need. Close enough to everything via 15 minute walk or short tuk tuk ride but far enough that you enjoy serene evenings and mornings before and after activities. Highly recommend staying here!

Everything was great! The staff were super friendly, help us extend our stay, and even booked a safari for us. The location is quiet, and you only have to walk 1 minute to all of the restaurants to and shops on the main street. The bed is comfortable, and the communal tables outside were nice to work from. The hammock was a plus. Great stay!

Jazz and his beautiful family were amazing hosts. First, he arranged a very good taxi with a professional driver(And also a VERY fair price) that took us from Colombo to his resort. I couldn't join my partner at the beginning of our stay and she was alone for the most part during our stay here. Jazz knowing about it, he and his beautiful family, alongside this beautiful Dutch couple, made sure that she would have the best time with various activity and their warm company. Overall, she really enjoyed her stay. He even managed an expedition for her alongside that couple at night, to find exotic animals. On the last day when I arrived, not only was I greeted with the highest of hospitality, but also an exceptionally delicious lunch(you can trust my taste, I'm an Iranian), which wasn't included in our plan at all. Also in the reviews I saw some people found the route to the beach difficult. From my personal experience, that is far from the truth. The resort is less than 100 meters away from the beach, it's just a simple walk. If I come to Arugam Bay again, I'll choose this place 100%.

Lovely accommodation with a superb location. Everything was within walking distance, with plenty of great restaurants, cafés, and shops nearby, as well as quick and easy access to the beach. It was the perfect base for exploring the area without needing any transport. The hosts were incredibly friendly, welcoming, and accommodating throughout our stay. They were always happy to help and made us feel right at home. Breakfast was plentiful and offered a great variety of options to choose from, including fresh fruit, coffee, and tea. There was something for everyone, and it was a great way to start each day. We also took advantage of the laundry service offered by the accommodation. Although there was an additional fee, it was very reasonably priced, quick, and extremely convenient during our travels. Overall, we had a wonderful stay and would happily recommend this accommodation to anyone visiting the area. Great location, excellent hospitality, and everything you need for a comfortable stay.

If you’re looking for a quiet, beautiful place to stay away from busy Arugam Bay, this is the place for you! The cabins were lovely, cozy and thoughtfully designed. You can really tell that they’ve paid attention to all the little details. The whole property is beautifully maintained, with plenty of comfortable spots to sit, relax and just chill. The restaurant serves amazing Italian food 😍 and the yoga center is wonderful, well equipped and has a beautiful view of the ocean. We stayed for 3 nights and enjoyed every single moment. The staff were incredibly kind and helpful. And even after we checked out, they went out of their way to help us with our onward journey, which we really appreciated. Highly recommended!

Guest review
If you’re looking for a top-tier stay in Arugam Bay, the newly opened Swiss Bay is an absolute gem. From the moment you walk in, the luxury of the rooms stands out; they are incredibly spacious, impeccably clean, and feature some of the most impressive bathrooms I’ve seen in the area. The beds are exceptionally comfortable, ensuring a perfect night's sleep after a day in the sun. What truly sets this hotel apart is its unbeatable location—it is situated just a few steps away from the world-famous Arugam Bay beach, making it a dream for surfers and sun-seekers alike. After a day on the waves, you can return to a stunning lake view that provides a serene and picturesque backdrop to your evening. With fast, free Wi-Fi and a high standard of cleanliness throughout, it’s a refreshing addition to the local hotel scene. Highly recommended!

We had an excellent stay! The room was clean, comfortable, and well-maintained. The food was outstanding, and the staff were happy to cook anything we requested — a special thanks to Lahiru the chef and Pravin for their wonderful service. The manager was also very helpful and attentive to all our needs. Highly recommend this hotel for a relaxing and enjoyable stay!

Simple rooms just steps from the beach. Good for people who want quiet and to be close to the sea, you can hear the waves in the room, No people, you have the whole beach to yourself. Great value for money. The manager is nice, takes care of all the needs, and make good food. I came for few nights and extended my stay, I think it's a gem.
