to get started.

It is really the best place for surfers. The restaurant is amazingly good (it is not common for Sri Lanka :)). Huge variety of european and local cuisine. Everything is tasty! It also worth mentioning that that was the only place on the island where I really enjoyed local cuisine dishes. The owner of the hotel is super friendly. He always provides with an advise, helps to solve the problem, organizes a surfing lesson. We will definitely come back again to catch the wave :)

Extremly nice place, with a few bungalos around a pool with palm trees, close by the beach. Owner couple from Switzerland lives and works there too. In Swiss style, everything works and is organized. Bungalo facilities are thought threw and food is extremly tasty and aforable. Also value for money is great (we were in the off season, so cant tell for main saison). Super relaxing. Staff and owner are very friendly and relaxed. Would definitvely stay again.

We felt very welcome. The bungalow was great. It was clean and the outside shower was very nice and yet comfortable. The swimming pool was big and they offered surfing lessons. My first time, good teacher and it went very well. A really nice place to relax, surf and enjoy the beach. And also to do your laundry ;-)

“Surfer’s Paradise ”
- • Leisure trip
- • Family with young children
- • Stayed 5 nights

The chilled-out and relaxed vibe at Babar Point which is due to their wonderful owners. Catherine was our three year old son’s favourite and he was able to play at this resort as if he were home! Everything was possible, and Babar’s point staff was really friendly and helpful. The houses are really spacious, well constructed and all equipped with a chill out-veranda/bed. Really nice for a siësta as it can get very hot out there. The pool is big and clean and therefore perfect when one needs to cool off! Babar Point furthermore provides surfboards and lessons for a reasonable and honest price. We both learned a lot from their surfinstructor Jassotharan or in short: Jasso (who is a certified ISA instructor)! So in short highly recommendable for a (surf)stay in the neighborhood of Arugam Bay while centered in between the wonderful surfspots, Whiskey Point and Pottuville Point which both are in walking distance from the premises!

This is the best place to stay! The bungalows are made with love and everything is thought threw! Out door shower is amazing and the Chillax area out side is amazing nothing more that you can ask for! The team is super kind and the owners are truly in love with Sri Lanka! You ask for anything and you always get the answer and it’s the best! You need anything and boom you have the correct help! The pool is the best I ever had... being blond and using a pool comes with worries, but this is the best balanced pool I ever used! The food is made with love and value for money! You can rent boards and they are good surf boards and wax is always there when you need it! We loved babar point and only can recommend it.... thank you so much!

We loved our stay at Babar Point. Unfortunately we got a bit sick and Catherine took very good care of us. The location is excellent, walking distance from Pottuvil Point and Whiskey Point. Excellent for surfing lessons for beginners at Pottuvil Point and more advanced at Whiskey Point. We highly recommend Ali for the lessons, easy to arrange at Babar Point. Loungespot at the terraces is great. Pool wonderful. Great place to relax for a few days. Thanks Catherine and Michel.
