Bay Vista, hotel in Arugam Bay

Located in the heart of Arugam, Bay Vista offers modern and comfortable accommodations within a 15-minute walk to the famous Arugam Bay surfing area.

Property is located right on the beach and room was exceptional. Staff and the owners were great. Food was excellent and the breakfast buffet is a must try. We loved our stay at the Bay Vista. Definitely try the sea bath located towards north west side of the beach.

Whisky Point Resort, hotel in Arugam Bay

Located in Pottuvil and with Whiskey Point reachable within 98 feet, Whiskey Point Resort features a restaurant, nonsmoking rooms, free WiFi and a garden.

Whisky point is such a special place and I am so glad that I stayed here. The resort itself is beautiful and the perfect place to escape and disconnect. The staff are all amazing and very welcoming. As a solo female traveller I felt very at home and could have stayed much longer. The food is also delicious, from pasta to pizza and homemade banana bread! The first couple of days I was working remotely and I found it very comfortable with good wifi. After that I spent most of my time relaxing on the beach and enjoying the peaceful tranquility and good vibes. I 100% recommend.

All the rooms were clean, there were only a few so a nice quiet and relaxed atmosphere. Set in a lush garden and less than a minutes walk to the beach. Mohamed was a very sweet man and was constantly bringing me small snacks, anywhere from cakes to chicken and chili pastries, that his mom had made fresh for the guests. Very accommodating and lovely family that own and run lucky!

    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 Further not that spectaculair place to stay, lot is outdated and overprized.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.

    An amazing place by the beach and with a hammock. But I did a mistake of visiting Arugambay off season( Please check the season dates for here). However Mubarak and his brother were very helpful. Arranged me a Lagoon safari which was quite interesting. Prices seemed a bit high considering it's off season as well. However loved the facilities. Cabana was very clean and has a good balcony and private washroom. Loved it

Stay with family and friends and you will never regret the money and time spent there.

    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.
