Swiss Bay Hotel & Resort-Arugambay

The hotel is absolutely new. Our room was spacious, fresh, and very clean, with a nice and well-maintained bathroom. If I ever visit Arugam Bay again, I would definitely stay here again — out of all the hotels in this price range, this one is the best! The hotel is run by a very polite and kind family who made us feel welcome. The location was excellent — on the main road, within walking distance to cafes for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and just a 10-minute tuk-tuk ride to the beach, but you can also walk to it (20 minutes) It was quiet at night, and we had a very peaceful stay. There’s also a lake next to the hotel, where elephants sometimes come to drink — a beautiful sight to witness. All guest rooms are located on the second floor. They also plan to open a restaurant soon on the ground floor.

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!

We had a fantastic stay at Arcadia Villas in Arugam Bay! The room for four was spacious, clean, and beautifully designed — perfect for a comfortable and relaxing stay. The beds were super comfy, the air conditioning worked perfectly, and everything was well-maintained and spotless. The location is ideal: close enough to the beach and main spots in Arugam Bay, yet tucked away in a peaceful, quiet area surrounded by nature. It felt like a perfect little retreat after a day of surfing or exploring the area. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, always available when we needed anything and happy to offer local tips. You can really tell that the place is run with care and attention to detail. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend Arcadia Villas to anyone looking for a great stay in Arugam Bay!

Everything! The atmosphere, the staff, the cabana and the food. The place is just lovely and the views are breathtaking. I am definitely coming back next time I am in Sri Lanka. Wish I could have stayed longer. This was the best out of all the places I stayed during my travels around the country. They just do everything a little better than others.

    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!

    The location is 10 min walking from the beach and 20 min from pottovil surfing. Location is quiet, yet close enough to the beach and surfing point. The garden of the property is beautiful with a nice seating area for breakfast and dinner.
