This is THE place to stay if you are interested in safaris within Kumana NP. We had an exceptional driver (as good an animal spotter as our guide!). We were lucky enough to have Sam as our guide. He is a BBC wildlife videographer and knew so much about the animals and their behaviours. It gave us the best chance of having so many great leopard/animal encounters. The food and hotel staff was also fantastic. If I come back to Sri Lanka I would skip Yala and come here for a few nights more. There is no mobile signal in Kumana to alert other drivers to where wildlife is so usually the leopard encounters are just yourself and no-one else. Just note - the national park is still about 45 min drive away from the hotel and Panama is a quiet place (more peaceful than Arugum Bay). Its def not a party place like Arugum bay. Safaris are from 5am until about 6.30pm. I would also recommend maybe bringing a neck buff and protection for expensive camera equipment (towel to cover). There is a lot of dust that kicks up off the road.

Great stay for us. The team that run the hotel were really good. Swimming on the Panama beach every morning before breakfast was magic, the food was great. The room facilities were great as well. This is the nearest hotel resort to the Kumana National Park entrance. Few mins drive to the Arugam Bay Surfing beach. We will be back!

Definitely the place to stay in Arugam Bay! A cool village, much calmer and away from the noisy environment of the main area. A chill and peaceful spot on an empty beach, but still within walking distance to Arugam Bay. The rooms are well designed, cozy, mosquito-free, each with a hammock, and the garden is beautiful with many plants and flowers, plus direct access to the beach. The team is amazing: Friez is a great cook, preparing delicious breakfasts and meals, and he’s always attentive and ready to help. There’s also a very practical laundry service. If you’re looking for surf lessons, it’s perfect – Fasmeer offers excellent classes at a good price, takes you to Elephant Bay or Peanut Farm by tuk tuk, and provides all the equipment included in the price. They also offer a tuk tuk service, making everything very smooth. Overall, a great and relaxing stay in the beautiful Amwaj blue Cabana. Thank you guys!

A hidden gem! My husband and me loved this place. The host is very welcoming and will help with anything. We've been there for a whole month and couldn't ask for more: fully equipped kitchen, sleeping room with air con, an own backyard with lots of palm trees, beautiful sunrises and a big deck upstairs. The house is actually at the beach, so you can watch the ocean anytime. Highly recommend if you are looking for a quiet and peaceful place.

Private location, extremely helpful and polite owner and staff, authentic Sri Lanka beach life vibe, everything was clean and tidy, Iroshana helped us with just about anything we could think off from arranging breakfast, barbeque dinner, recommending surf bays and trips to conversations about Sri Lanka ways of living. Thank you for everything, we will always remember and hope to come back one day.

    This is my favourite place to stay in Arugam Bay! The accommodation is beautiful, and the staff are incredibly kind. They made our stay the best in Sri Lanka so far! The rooms were spotless, and the bed was very comfortable. Breakfast was delicious, and all the guys who run this place are amazing! You can enjoy and relax in the stunning natural surroundings here. They have very experienced wildlife guides who provided us with an unforgettable safari. Surfing is also an option here. Have fun, surf lovers!
