It's a small resort situated right on the beach. With very few guests, there’s ample space for solitude. You can fully unwind, being close to nature, with everything designed to help you feel grounded. The couple who own the place go above and beyond to ensure you have the best possible stay.

Mohamed is the best host ever! Super kind and helpful with everything. He arranged us a roundtrip tuk tuk to a beautiful local beach at a fair price. I hope to be back one day, I'd highly recommend!

The resort is great but idle for couples since they are Cabanas. With kids may be not a good idea.

This hotel is brand new, so everything feels clean, fresh, and modern. The facilities are excellent — each room has a lovely outdoor chill-out area, and the garden adds a nice relaxing touch.

Excellent location, 10 minutes by foot from Arugam Bay, Pasarichenai beach and city center. This homestay is outside enough to avoid the crowd and noise from the city center. It's run by a very sweet family who offered us drinks at our arrival. This very rustic place also has a restaurant with tasty food and affordable prices (recommend the home-made rottis). For those who wish a nice, calm home stay outside while being able to enjoy Arugam Bay. NB: They also have a cheap tuktuk you can use to get around.

    You are more likely to meet a European than a local here.

    You are more likely to meet a European than a local here. This is definately not a reflection on Sri Lankan culture, however the beach town is slow and quiet (realtively speaking) and there are plenty of shops and restaurants. And of coure, the surf is consistent and the water warm. It's a winner for a beach holiday.

    The best feature of Arugam Bay is the surrounding jungle, lakes and lagoons. The main beach is very busy but other beaches, such as Peanut Farm are less crowded, Do thye Lagoon Safari and a park safari but also try surfing and relaxing on the beach.

    still relatively not crowded by the locals due to the distance, and miles of unspoiled, beautiful, isolated beaches to be found. Surfers paradise, but the seas can be a bit rough for the average sea goer. accommodation can be a bit overpriced during season but you can find some reasonable accommodation if you search and ask around.

    The rooms are little shacks by the beach which gives a charming vibe to the hotel as a whole. The inside is not very modern but is clean, with comfortable beds and AC. The staff is very caring, friendly and helpful. The food there is delicious and comes with a nice view. Lastly the hotel provides all kind of services to lift you stay such as laundry services, tuktuk services (if you need to go to arugam bay) or connexions to book surf lessons or a safari tour.

    So far, by far the best service in Sri Lanka. The staff were amazing, polite, they are professional yet make You feel like You're at home. Service was comparable to a good 5* hotel in Europe. The location is great, with amazing beachside, and the yard is absolutely perfect for relaxing vacation, pictures dont do it justice. It's 3 min tuktuk ride to Arugam Bay, yet its secluded and peaceful
