Jetwing Surf, hotel in Arugam Bay

Jetwing Surf is located in Pottuvil, 3.1 km from Whiskey Point. Guests can enjoy the on-site restaurant. Free private parking is available on site.

The staff is really nice. Cleanliness of the room also exceptional. Mr. Hafi and the staff were really helpful as my daughter got sick after checking out. But they have arranged the room again and supported us.

Whisky Point Resort, hotel in Arugam Bay

Situated in Pottuvil and with Whiskey Point reachable within 30 metres, Whisky Point Resortfeatures a restaurant, non-smoking rooms, free WiFi and a garden.

We stayed at Whiskey Point during low season and for two nights we had the place all for ourselves. The atmosphere was awesome and despite of staying only for three nights, we felt like family with the staff guys. They had really helpful tips for us. One of our kids best memories of the entire trip is making Pizza in the wood fired pizza oven at Whiskey Point. The Pizza by the way was really good. I also imagine this to be a nice and quieter place during high season compared to Arugam Bay. At the same time Arugam Bay is only a short TukTuk ride away and easy to reach for a snack or surf session. We would definitely come back

Lucky Bay, hotel in Arugam Bay

Located in Arugam Bay, within 60 metres of Arugam Bay Beach and 1.9 km of Pasarichenai Beach, Lucky Bay provides accommodation with a garden and free WiFi as well as free private parking for guests...

Great accomodation! The local host was very friendly and helpful. The rooms are spotlessly clean and come with a terrace for sitting out or lacying in the hammock. The garden is inviting and very well maintained. The street is far enough away so there was no noice at night and its about 20 m to the beach. Also the aircon was quiet compared to other places we have been to. We would book this well-run place anytime again.

    It's a place for beach lovers and surfers.

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 Further not that spectaculair place to stay, lot is outdated and overprized.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

    First, the location of the hotel was perfect, so conveniently placed in relation to every place I wanted to go to in Arugam Bay. The hotel is charming, a wide-open space that affords a beautiful view of, and great access to, the beach. My room was spacious and clean, and had all the amenities I required. The staff were beyond wonderful, so helpful and accomodating, which made a short trip with complicated travel times so much easier to bear. Last, this place was a steal for the nightly rate

    Excellent place to stay in Arugam Bay! The room is spacious and clean and there is even a shared kitchen for everyone. The property is located at the end of town, but there are many great places to eat nearby and the hotel is only a 1-minute walk from the beach. Perfect! Plus, the staff is so nice and the vibe is amazing. The manager Deen welcomed us warmly and both him and the kind elderly man treat us like family. Can't recommend this place enough!

    This is the beachfront hotel property of a big coconut estate in Arugam Bay, so more space is available to enjoy and chill out. I realize that it gives me more quieter and freedom. Very peaceful place with friendly and helpful staff. Nice dorms, it is located on top of the first floor and you can see the Ocean view when you sleep only hearing the sound of the sea waves creasing against the beach. This choice was a great experience and recommended.
