The cabanas are super unique and right on the beach. Waking up to the sound of the ocean and a tasty breakfast is amazing. Just a short walk down the beach there’s a surf spot with restaurants and board rentals. It’s the perfect place if you’re looking for something a bit different and really special. Would definitely recommend! There’s a bus going to Panama from Arugam Bay and the owner of the property helped me to get a tuktuk taxi to the Cabana, so it was no problem that I don’t have a vehicle.

Set in Arugam Bay, within 4.6 km of Elephant Rock and 4.8 km of Crocodile Rock, Leopardbay Cabanas Arugambay offers accommodation with a garden as well as free private parking for guests who drive.

What an unforgettable experience! This place is a true haven of peace, far from the hustle and bustle of Arugam Bay. An idyllic setting overlooking the lake, surrounded by nature and wildlife… and above all, a truly wonderful family : kind, caring, and incredibly generous. From the chalet, we could even see wild elephants by the lake, an absolutely magical sight. We were also lucky enough to go on a safari in Kumana National Park with them : without a doubt, one of the most beautiful and memorable experiences of our stay in Sri Lanka. We were incredibly fortunate to see water buffalo, a leopard, elephants, deer, countless birds, and much more. We also shared a touching and authentic moment with them at the temple, something we’ll never forget. The cabins are built with deep respect for the surrounding nature, in perfect harmony with their values. The chalets offer breathtaking views, and the meals (both breakfasts and dinners) were lovingly prepared and absolutely delicious. A heartfelt thank you for your warm welcome, your generosity, and your humanity. You are truly special people, and this place reflects that : simple, genuine, and deeply inspiring.

Secret Paradise is a beautiful wooden cabin surrounded by nature right by the sea. Malika and her family make sure everything is perfect – from cleanliness and service to excellent local cuisine. It’s a very peaceful place to relax, yet close to more touristy areas like Arugam Bay (about 20 minutes by tuk-tuk). We’ll come back as soon as we can, it was amazing!!!

The comfort is simple but everything you need is there: clean toilets, fridge, large open-air shower with good water pressure, and electric sockets in the rooms. Exactly what we were looking for — the feeling of being alone in a small paradise of nature. An endless beach with no one around, a starry sky at night, and a stunning sunrise over the ocean for early risers. Extras like a beach volleyball court with ball available, hammocks, and very attentive staff made the stay even better. The owner also organized two unforgettable activities for us: one of the best safaris we had in Sri Lanka at Kumana National Park, and a peaceful boat trip on the Panama lagoon, which felt like friends showing us around their home.

The perfect spot for surfers. Very close the beach but far enough from the beachbar sound installations to get your much needed rest.
