I was given a very warm welcome by the owner of the property and the staff. Owner very knowledgeable about wildlife in Sri Lanka, gave me excellent advice to plan my trips. Nice setup, very comfortable bed, clean bathroom. Staff were very helpful and accommodating. Had tasty Sri Lankan meals prepared to my choice. All in all had a very pleasant stay. Thank you.

In our trip of 2 months in Sri Lanka and despite 5 days of straight rain, this was our favourite stay. The road to Panama was a safari in itself, with a 2.5 meter monitor lizard, crocodile ponds, scores of gray langurs and stunning views. We visited outside the tourist season so we were the only tourists in the village, which sports some lovely beaches, a lake with many crocodiles, charming rice fields and lagoons, friendly locals, affordable local restaurants and good access to the Kumana national park. The room is charming and clean and had everything we needed. What made the stay so special though was the wonderful family who manage it and the owner is a Doctor and he is very kind and helpful. Their hospitality is genuine and our walks in the neighbourhood and evening talks thought us so much. It is people who live from their heart like them that form the true treasure of Sri Lanka. This is the nearest hotel to the Kumana National Park, and they arrange the Safari for the lowest rate in Panama/Kumana/Arugambay city. You can experience the night safari also.

Best hosts ever! We are really lucky that we found this place. We really enjoyed our room, the sound of the ocean, and more then all - the very kind hosts of this place! We stayed for two weeks and really felt like it’s our little home in Sri Lanka, breakfast was great and we got all help we needed and beyond from the hosts. This is really all you can ask for!! I recommend from all my heart!

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.

Beautiful place, great location and wonderful owners (and gorgeous dogs)! Julia was so helpful and went above and beyond recommending local things for us to do. The place is right on a private stretch of beach which you get all to yourselves to stroll along the beach and stargaze at night but it’s also a short walk away from the centre of town.

Julien

From

The comfort is simple but everything you need is there: clean toilets, fridge, large open-air shower with good water pressure, and electric sockets in the rooms. Exactly what we were looking for — the feeling of being alone in a small paradise of nature. An endless beach with no one around, a starry sky at night, and a stunning sunrise over the ocean for early risers. Extras like a beach volleyball court with ball available, hammocks, and very attentive staff made the stay even better. The owner also organized two unforgettable activities for us: one of the best safaris we had in Sri Lanka at Kumana National Park, and a peaceful boat trip on the Panama lagoon, which felt like friends showing us around their home.

We spent an entire month at this beautiful villa in Arugam Bay, and it truly felt like home from day one. The villa was perfect for our needs (big bedrooms, AC, wifi, kitchen well equipped…). The garden is not fully finished (in progress) but we definitely enjoyed the outside shower. But what really made our stay unforgettable was the host. From the very first message until the day we left, he was incredibly attentive, always checking in to make sure everything was perfect without being intrusive. His kindness, availability, and genuine care made all the difference — we couldn’t have asked for a better welcome. The location is ideal too: just close enough to the center of Arugam Bay to walk to the shops, cafes, and restaurants, but far enough to enjoy total peace and quiet. The beach is only a few minutes away — perfect for an early morning swim or surf session. We honestly couldn’t recommend this place more. Thank you again for making our stay so special — we will definitely be back one day! 🌴
