Swiss Bay is perfectly located right at the start of Arugam Bay’s main street. From the balcony, you can spot the elephant viewpoint where an elephant usually visits in the mornings and evenings. The beach is just a quick 2–3 minute walk across the road, making the location absolutely ideal. We stayed in the corner room with an L-shaped balcony, and it was just amazing. The room was spacious, comfortable, and equipped with all the facilities you’d expect from a top-notch stay. Even the bathroom stood out — we genuinely loved it. Everything matched the pictures and description perfectly, so you get exactly what’s promised. The caretaker and the owner were both incredibly warm and helpful, making us feel at home right away. They even allowed us a late checkout since our shuttle was leaving at 1 pm, which we really appreciated. On our last day, they treated us to a banana shake that was absolutely delicious — such a sweet gesture. If you’re considering booking this place, don’t hesitate — go for it! We’re already certain we’ll be staying here again.

This family-run hotel was incredible. The hosts were so kind and helpful - they drove us wherever we needed and helped with everything. The home-cooked food was delicious, with huge, satisfying portions that we looked forward to every day. We truly felt at home and couldn't have asked for a better experience. Highly recommended!

Owner and the staff are very kind people, full of joy and thoughtful. We spent the evening chatting together. They offer us the dinner and gave the best room since we were the only guests. Very good price, close to beach and authentic with hammock and coconut. Perfect for relaxing in the nature. Super recommended.

Would you like to experience paradise? We did! Eco Aloevera Garden is a place where you may see see the beautiful empty beaches, wonderful sea landscape and such a unique atmospere! Great place to visit out of the tourist season - which we did, March was great choice. The owner and stuff soooo friendly, meeting all the needs. Local meals provided based on our preferences, so delicious! Great clean, cosy little houses in shady garden filled with beautiful palm trees. We just live it all :)

What an amazing place. Host is the most welcoming person I've ever met, such an amazing human being! We booked for 5 nights and we extended another 3 because we felt like home. Everyday were preparing breakfast (and everyday is different, delicious and abundant, also with homemade juices). We also had few dinners in and food was stunning! He also arranged a motorbike, safaris and taxi at very reasonable price! We have no words to express how kind and caring they were with us. The place is very handy, close to beach and all the restaurants, clean and well take care of, also very quiet! We highly, highly recommend it! No hesitation! Looking forward to come back to here!

    Amazing location next to a beach. Loved resting in a hammock with an ocean view. Everything is clean and nice. Murali cooks really good. His food was very tasty. Uncle Sella and Murali were very helpful and great hosts. In two months we are coming back!

    Since it was far from the city and you were next to the beach, we walked to Whiskey Point to surf. The place is to go to rest for two days away from the noise of Arugam Bay. I love the place and the gay work there.

    A nice cabin right at the beach. There was a strong current. For surfing we had to walk on the beach for half an hour, it was wonderful there. The staff was great. We had great conversations with Raj, he helped us with everything we needed. Even when we had to withdraw money, we were driven back and forth by tuktuk.Morelli cooked delicious breakfasts and dinners for us every day. A very talented chef.Raj provided live music in the evening. All in all, 4 wonderfully relaxing days

    I really loved the location and the beautiful peaceful garden. The bungalows are big and clean. Very peaceful and relaxing place. Whiskey point is 2mn away and the surfing beach Pottuvil point is 15 mn walk away on the beach. The owner organised homecooked dinner by his mother which was delicious.
