We received a very warm welcome, with lots of smiles and a pineapple juice 😀 this guesthouse is run by Iqbal and his lovely staff and he took care of us from the first to the last minute. The location is amazing, quiet and right at the beach, and walking distance to the rather noisy and ore crowed center of the village, which was just perfect for us. We asked for a room with air-conditioning and the aircon worked perfectly and cooled down the room very quickly. The bed is big and comfortable, the room equipped with everything necessary to feel comfortable and have some space to unpack the bags. The non aircon rooms have each a cute front terrace equipped with a table and a sitting area. The breakfast varies daily, at least during our stay, and is cooked and prepared with much love by the most lovely assistant lady who gives an extra warm touch to this place. We fell in love especially with the guesthouse staff and owner, their friends and family as the are all warm-hearted and welcoming people, that help and care and share at all times. If you want an authentic and welcoming place, this could be your home in Arugam Beach. We also, during season, recommend asking if the have wood apple juice, which is one if the best juices we ever had. We left wishing to stay there once again in the future and submerge again into this very lovely space the created just right at the beach. We had great conversations and left warm hearted, missing them already! Go for it, you won't be disappointed!!!! If there were more IQBALs in this world, the world would be a better place. Thanks for all 🥰

This property was located close to town and all the restaurants as well as the most wonderful little swim beach! Kevin was an incredible host and the rooms were large and clean! As we traveled out of season breakfast wasn’t provided, but we were able to use the kitchen to make ourselves meals. Highly recommend this property!

A peaceful garden paradise near the surf! Vinka’s place is a little piece of quiet garden paradise just a short walk from the surf spot! I loved the peaceful atmosphere, the lush garden, and how comfortable and clean the cabanas were. Vinka was super helpful and kind throughout my stay — always available if I needed anything. Everything was perfect, and I felt totally at home. I’ll definitely come back one day. Highly recommended for surfers and nature lovers alike!

Apple was a superstar, so helpful and amazing overall, gave us great advice for the area and even let us borrow a surfboard trap for attaching the surfboards to the tuktuk. Very close to everything but tucked away from the mayhem of aragum bay
