Surf N Sun - Arugam Bay, hotel in Arugam Bay

Surf N Sun- Arugambay is located in Arugam. Free WiFi access is available in the public areas of the property. At Surf N Sun- Arugambay you will find a garden.

The place is super-cool. Once you entered the garden you feel that you are in a botanical garden. The vegetation is stunning. Then, the design of the entire place is amazing. Our room was very spacious, clean, fresh, comfy. The place is very quiet. The attention to every detail and the commitment to develop something in harmony with the surroundings are the things that really impressed me.

    It's a place for beach lovers and surfers. Further not that spectaculair place to stay, lot is outdated and overprized. For nature lovers is Kumana the place to be and for that reason you stay in Arugam Bay. One village further is Panama, with a little accommodation to stay.

    It is a must destination for any traveller who is interested in surfing. There are shops to buy your needs and many more. You can find good restaurants where they serve meals at any time. Kumana the wild life sanctuary for birds is nearby to where you can arrange transport at Arugumbay. Apart from birds, crocodiles. Leopards. Bears and elephants can be sighted. Though this is situated at east coast there are places where you can observe sunsets as well.

    The property is comfortable, beautiful and very well located in Arugam Bay. You have direct access to beach and is walking distance to restaurants and the main streets in Arugam Bay. We were welcomed by Rinas, the manager, which since first contact was super friendly and helpful. During our stay the entire staff were very nice to talk with, ask questions, arrange trips and spend time together. I really wish every hotel had a Rinas as a manager, he made our stay very enjoyable!

    Breakfast was good staff were great and really helped us settle in showing us the area and sorting out surf lessons etc. The pool was great and all the facilities were functioning. Great location for whisky point. With water safari available nearby. About 20 minutes from Arugam Bay by tuk tuk for about 2000 rps if you fancy a noisy night out on the beachfront. Overall though the hotel was good and more importantly the staff were exceptional.

    A hidden oasis in Arugam Bay. It’s in Whisky Point, so perfect if you want some peace from the main town (20 min by scooter or tuktuk). And if you surf it’s closer to the quieter, northern spots…so better imo. ;) Richard manages the place, and he has a wealth of stories and hidden spots to explore. I’d stay longer if I could! Very sweet dog and cat roam the property as well. ❤️ Much love to Arus & Richard for having us here.

    We booked two rooms, one with A/C and one with a fan. As expected, the room was very warm at night with the fan, next time I would not do without the air conditioning. The accommodation is very lovingly decorated and furnished. The location on the edge of Arugam Bay is very relaxed, but close enough to reach everything important in a short walk if needed.
