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 Further not that spectaculair place to stay, lot is outdated and overprized.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.
Greatest place we have been to in Sri Lanka. Very nice hosts and personal, clean and comfy bungalow with everything one needs, very comfortable bed, refill of filtered water, bikes available to take without additional cost, awesome tips and information from the hosts. Located right at the start of Arugam Bay, so quick and easy to cycle to Pottuvil for cheaper local food and it is not so crowded as in the middle of Arugam Bay. Overall just perfect.
We have been here in off-season and enjoyed it to the fullest
I had a fantastic stay at Starfish Cabana! The location was perfect, just a 4-minute walk from Arugam Bay and the surfers' spot, making it ideal for both beginners and advanced surfers at Black Beach. Additionally, being so close to the main street with all the restaurants, pubs, and supermarkets was a huge convenience. The vibes at the place were amazing, and the host was exceptionally nice and helpful throughout our stay. Highly recommended!
We LOVED the Spice Trail. We booked this hotel as a last minute stay for 3 nights, and it really is a slice of heaven in Arugam Bay. Our room was huge, and the minimal boho decor made it a haven for relaxation - the private garden was an added bonus!
The breakfast at Spice Trail was our favourite food that we had in the whole of Arugam Bay. I recommend the Masala Eggs!
Thank you so much - we wish we could have stayed longer.
It is a bit outside the centre but definitely worth going. The service was very good, everyone was so nice to us.
Room is clean best cheaper
The food was delicious, we had rice and curry, biriyani and the noodles. The mango lassi was very yummy aswell. They even gave us a free soup as a starter which was very nice.
The price was very good, cheaper than other restaurants in Arugam bay.
We would definitely go there again!
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
Extremely friendly host who is happy to help you with any questions.
The accommodation is near to the beach (about 120m) and at the beginning of the main road of Arugam Bay, where are plenty of restaurants, bars and shops. I like it more to walk a few minutes to the crowded spots, than sleeping in the near of them.
Breakfast was okay and enough.
For two nights it was okay, no regrets.
You get what you pay. ;)
All the staff is amazing, especially Angie and her husband (the owners) always with a smile and kindness to give. There is yoga lessons, safari tours and surf classes to take. The environment of the hotel is amazing and all the good energies in Arugam Bay are there. They will build more in the future to expand the hotel so we will definitely come back to see and visit them. Thank you for everything!
my experience at Hari Hari Hotel was nothing short of fantastic. I'm glad to hear that Billy, the owner of the property, is doing well and meeting your needs. It's always reassuring when the owner is attentive and ensures a pleasant experience for guests, highly recommend this hotel for an unforgettable stay in Arugam Bay.
Clean and comfortable rooms with aircon and private bathrooms. Lots of shared spaces balconies, garden, and kitchen. The host is super friendly and will help you with anything you need!
