The location is perfect, just a short walk to the beautiful beach. The rooms were clean, comfortable, and well maintained. The staff were incredibly friendly, welcoming, and always ready to help. The owner made us feel at home and ensured we had everything we needed. The food at the restaurant was delicious with fresh local flavors. I highly recommend this place to anyone visiting Arugam Bay. We will definitely come back again.

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.

We just loved our stay here! It's a very simple concept, you are staying in nature in a very comfortable tent. There is outdoor bathroom and generator that can be turned on to charge your devices when needed. What stands out the most is a really great location close to the beach and Peanut Farm surf spot and the incredibly generous hosts. They have really made sure that we are comfortable and well taken care of, they cooked amazing meals (breakfast, lunch & dinner) for us and provided anything we needed. Many thanks again and see you again one day!

The Homestay is in the middle of nature but only 20 min Away from Arugam bay 🌿🦎 The Family who lives there is super lovely, the Host even showed us around the area and we saw Leopard and crocodile prints, we learned a lot from him that day. And of course the view from the huts is really beautiful. The Elephants you can See from the balcony and the Stars at Night truely makes staying here a once in lifetime experience. 10/10 would very much recommend 💕☺️

An incredible stay in this unique, exclusive spot—far from the tourist crowds and facing the rice fields. It is more than just a stay; it is an encounter with a wonderful family who welcome you with open arms, like friends. Their food is simply amazing, and the setting is so restful and soothing. Panama is a place worth stopping at and taking the time to enjoy... A thousand thanks for this timeless experience! You will forever hold a special place in our hearts and memories.

The owner was super friendly and an amazing cook! Everything was great — the place is quiet and relaxing, a perfect spot away from the busy Arugam bay. The only downside was that we had quite a lot of ants in the bathroom at night. Other than that, it was a lovely stay!

This is THE place to stay if you are interested in safaris within Kumana NP. We had an exceptional driver (as good an animal spotter as our guide!). We were lucky enough to have Sam as our guide. He is a BBC wildlife videographer and knew so much about the animals and their behaviours. It gave us the best chance of having so many great leopard/animal encounters. The food and hotel staff was also fantastic. If I come back to Sri Lanka I would skip Yala and come here for a few nights more. There is no mobile signal in Kumana to alert other drivers to where wildlife is so usually the leopard encounters are just yourself and no-one else. Just note - the national park is still about 45 min drive away from the hotel and Panama is a quiet place (more peaceful than Arugum Bay). Its def not a party place like Arugum bay. Safaris are from 5am until about 6.30pm. I would also recommend maybe bringing a neck buff and protection for expensive camera equipment (towel to cover). There is a lot of dust that kicks up off the road.
