Swiss Bay Hotel & Resort Arugam bay: A Fantastic Stay! My recent stay at Swiss Bay Hotel & Resort in Arugambay was absolutely wonderful, and I can't recommend it enough for anyone visiting the area.

We had the most amazing stay here. Everything was perfect. And the hosts were the cutest most helpful couple. They drove us when we needed transportation, helped us with finding surfboards, and a million other things. They went out of their way so many times for us. The food was absolutely phenomenal with HUGE portions for a very reasonable price (breakfast was free and it alone could fill you up for the whole day). We also had some very nice conversations with them and their English was very good, which was a big +. I truly recommend everyone to book with them as you'll have a stay you won't regret.

This place is amazing. Little quiet paradise near busy Arugam Bay. You can enjoy walks along the beach or sunsrise on the beach, relax in hamaka. We loved our stay here. The cottages are so nice and cute, the beach is right next to it and hotel manager Mureli took amazing care of us. He helped us with our tuktuk trouble, he is amazing chef, the food was so delicious. He did his job perfectly and went even beyond. If we'll return to Sri Lanka we will definitely pay this place a visit. Probably the most beautiful place we stayed in Sri Lanka. And for amazing price.

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.

Wonderful property and host! Iqbal and his staff were so warm and welcoming! They went above and beyond making sure I felt comfortable and enjoyed my stay! I was welcomed with delicious pineapple juice and a pastry. I ended extending my stay because it was such a warm and cozy place to spend a few days at the beach. Beach access is a few meters away. Iqbal also arranged surf lessons to peanut farm and I couldn’t recommend them enough! Best surf coach I’ve ever had! The room was very clean and spacious with hangers for wet clothes and storage. The hammocks outside each room are a very nice touch and relaxing. Each morning, the breakfast was very good and tasty! Lots of fresh fruit! Whatever you need, Iqbal and his team will take care of. Had a lot of nice chats with Iqbal. He will be missed! Wish I could stay for longer. Will definitely be back to this cozy piece of paradise.

Everything about the property was absolutely lovely— it truly had everything you could ever need. The food was delicious, the rooms were clean, and the pool area was gorgeous. The hosts, Michelle and Catherine, were incredibly kind, accommodating, and responsive. The rest of the staff were incredible as well. We stayed here for almost a week and it was a very special part of our trip. We can’t wait to come back.

    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!

    Since it was far from the city and you were next to the beach, we walked to Whiskey Point to surf. The place is to go to rest for two days away from the noise of Arugam Bay. I love the place and the gay work there.

    A nice cabin right at the beach. There was a strong current. For surfing we had to walk on the beach for half an hour, it was wonderful there. The staff was great. We had great conversations with Raj, he helped us with everything we needed. Even when we had to withdraw money, we were driven back and forth by tuktuk.Morelli cooked delicious breakfasts and dinners for us every day. A very talented chef.Raj provided live music in the evening. All in all, 4 wonderfully relaxing days

    I really loved the location and the beautiful peaceful garden. The bungalows are big and clean. Very peaceful and relaxing place. Whiskey point is 2mn away and the surfing beach Pottuvil point is 15 mn walk away on the beach. The owner organised homecooked dinner by his mother which was delicious.
