Best place for a perfect experience in Arugam Bay”

Nice and clean rooms, and an extremely friendly hotel owner. We originally booked 3 nights, but extended 2 more nights as it was awesome. The rooms have everything you need, and are price-quality wise very good. The location is perfect. Close to the beach and the main street of Arugam Bay, with all the good places very close by. But the best part of the hotel is the owner, who is a surf instructor and who is very helpful organizing surf trips, help you with finding the best zorg spot every day (and is willing to bring you there), helps with surfboard rental (for a discount) and other trips. He helped us booking a safari for a very good price, where we saw a lot of animals (including crocodiles, elephants and leopards). Also his family was extremely friendly and gave us a very welcome feeling. They showed us a lot of the Sri Lankan traditions (for example they gave us foods, and made henna tattoos). This was definitely our best stay in Sri Lanka!

The place was absolutely great! The beds were comfortable and there is a fast wifi-connection. The bathroom was much bigger than expected and refreshingly clean!! But the truly best feature of this guest house is the owner Deen and his girlfriend Stephanie. We were met with such hospitality that we felt at home. The owner Deen is a very welcoming and open person to talk to and helps whenever needed! He also did a great job as a surfing instructor und helped me to overcome my fear. We also had a chilled out night at the beach together with lots of laughter.

Best place in Arugam Bay (promised!)”

Everything. Dern and his family are very friendly and helpful and know the best place for dinner and breakfast ;) Deen is very funny and professional, we took some surfing lessons with him and improved a lot in one week! Felt like home at this place and stayed way longer than expected. The rooms are spacious, especially the bathroom, we had one room with AC. It got a big bed with a mosquito net (which we didn‘t need) and a nice terrace with a hammock (loved it!). Since I was sick for a few days, the family brought me tea and food - the vibe is very chilling and you feel very welcomed. Thank you so much Deen!
Nothing, wanted to stay for years! 😉

Near to the clean beach, not to much waves. But for those who want to jump is fine also. Room comfortable, good AC and fan. Comfortable bed. They give you an access to kitchen so you can take your coffee and use the fridge.The host Deen is super nice and open-minded. So you can learn something from him about Sri Lanka.
Everything was fine:-)

Great place for backpackers, couples or solo travelers to enjoy Arugam bay and also get some quiet sleep.”

Cute little huts with a simple interior but has everything you need plus a little terrace and hammock! Just a few meters away from the main beach. Deen who manages the place is a super nice guy and helps out with anything you need (he’s also a great surf teacher).
Unfortunately, due to the difficult situation in Sri Lanka at the moment the WiFi wasn’t working properly. But surely it will be fixed soon!
