It's a small resort situated right on the beach. With very few guests, there’s ample space for solitude. You can fully unwind, being close to nature, with everything designed to help you feel grounded. The couple who own the place go above and beyond to ensure you have the best possible stay.

The room comfortable, and very clean, making us feel at home from the moment we arrived. What truly made our stay unforgettable was Mohammed. From the very beginning, he took care of us in every possible way, always available, kind, and ready to help with anything we needed. His warmth and genuine hospitality made us feel incredibly welcome and turned our stay into something truly special. Thanks to him, we also had the chance to experience one of the most beautiful sunsets of our lives — one of those magical moments that you know you will remember for a very long time. More than just a place to stay, this was an experience made special by the people behind it. A huge thank you to Mohammed for everything — we couldn’t have asked for a better host!

The hotel is phenomenal. The lovely German owner is really accommodating and friendly. The staff are also great. Everything about this place is perfect and if I could give it a 12 I would. We went during the off season (January) so the town was very quiet, which made having this accommodation all the more better.

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.

We will definitely come back again.

We loved this hotel. Everything was brand new, you could tell in every detail, and it was such a pleasure to stay there. The staff was super friendly: they helped us with pricing, where to eat, and what places to visit. The air conditioning worked perfectly, so we slept great the whole stay. Highly recommend.

This stay is great value for money. The property is brand new (parts still being built). Beds were comfortable and room service was provided very few days. The staff were lovely and eager to help where ever they could. The property is in a quiet part of Arugam Bay (about 15 min walk to Main Street) we didn’t mind this as we enjoyed the clam and quiet. Would highly recommend this stay!

We had a fantastic stay at Aprota Villas during our recent trip to Arugam Bay. From start to finish, our experience was exceptional. We stayed in a spacious and beautifully designed Chalet that was both elegant and comfortable. The excellent service was complemented by quality food, which was a highlight of our stay. Priyantha and his team were excellent in providing an exceptional service. We relied on the WiFi throughout our stay and were impressed by how fast and consistent it was from all areas of the property. The property itself is stunning—a true beachfront haven with gorgeous main swimming pool set within lovely, manicured gardens. It’s the ideal choice for anyone seeking a luxurious and peaceful holiday in a breathtaking environment in Arugam Bay. We cannot recommend Aprota Villas highly enough!

I initially booked for 2 nights and then ended up staying for a week. Hassan was a fantastic host and was able to help with travel arrangements and plans. My room was comfortable and had a view of the beach from my balcony (the beach was about 15m away as the hotel is right on the beach). It's located far enough away from the point and busy end of town that it's nice and quiet at night but only about 15 minutes walk down the beach or main road to all busier bars. I would happily come back and stay here again for an extended stay. Compared with other places I stayed in Arugam Bay my room here was larger and to a much higher standard.

This is a beautiful beach villa, colonial style, with a lot of privacy. Wonderful location, really excluded, fantastic views. Great and very helpful staff. Rooms are spacious, well equipped, very clean, so are the bathrooms. We had there everything we needed. Tasty and full breakfasts. You can eat lunch and dinner at the villa and I don't agree that they are overpriced, as some guests mentioned in their opinions. Dishes were tasty and various, priced as in an average restaurant in Arugam Bay. Overall, I wish I could come back here one day, maybe in a larger group to have the villa for our own.

Lovely hotel with amazing garden right at the beach. The staff is super super friendly and helpful, the breakfast is great and very diverse, the rooms are clean and have a great AC. They are very helpful in arranging tours and giving recommendations. I forgot something valuable in the room and they did their utter best to find it and to get it back to me. 100% recommend this place and we hope to come back!

Right in the heart of Arugam Bay with everything walking distance, Roccos somehow still feels like a proper resort once you're inside. The pool facing the beach was the highlight, we went from beach dips straight back to the pool and never got tired of it. Staff were great, gave us solid tips on where to visit and we ended up having a brilliant morning surf session at Peanut Farm!!

מקום מאוד יפה, עם גישה לים ומסעדה נחמדה. נאלים (הבעלים) היה מאוד נעים, מתחשב, ודאג לי לכל מה שאני צריכה. הוא ארגן לי נסיעות לאטרקציות שונות במחירים מאוד נוחים וכמובן שעזר לי לסגור נסיעה לחזור לפי תכנון שאני רציתי. באופן כללי כל העובדים היו חמודים מאוד ונענו ברצון לבקשותיי.

Arugambay has a good vibe, especially during its season...

Arugambay has a good vibe, especially during its season which goes from May to September when the weather is mostly rain-free with lot of sun. But, the monsoon season (from Mid-October to December) also has its own fashion with lesser crowds and with rainy days. So, it is upto your preferences. Activities - Surfing, Sea Bathing, Wildlife Safari, Few Historical Places, Great Night Vibe

We loved Arugam Bay, it has a really nice chilled out feel to it with lots of good shops and nice restaurants which cater for all. Arugam Bay beach itself was crowded but peanut farm beach and the beaches round elephant rock/crocodile rock were gorgeous and you could hire boards straight from the beach. We particularly enjoyed Bambini’s restaurant the people were really lovely and there were board games and table tennis which our boys loved and made dinner time more relaxing for us. We saw wild crocodiles, water buffalo and an elephant which was super exciting!

We really enjoyed Arugam Bay.

We really enjoyed Arugam Bay. We took a tuk-tuk into the heart of the tourist area, where everything felt lively and full of energy — lots of restaurants, people walking along the streets, good street food and fresh coconuts everywhere. There’s a great laid-back surf atmosphere and plenty happening, especially in the evening. A fun place to explore, eat, relax and enjoy the local vibe.
