One of the best accommodations we had in Sri Lanka. We stayed there for 2 nights but were really sorry we didn't stay longer in the end. The rooms are perfect for someone who wants to enjoy Arugam bay, stay close to all cafes, restaurants, as well as the beach, and still wants some comfort. The accommodation is located on the main street in Arugam Bay but somehow still closed off enough that it remains peaceful. The rooms were clean, bathroom and shower amazing, beds veeeery comfortable and the AC perfect. The curtains keep the light out really well which is great if you like to sleep in in the morning. The hosts are very kind and were constantly asking if we have everything we need. I will definitely stay here again if I come back to Arugam Bay!

The property is very homely, the room is big and very clean. The staff is the best, always helpful and smiling. Nisha has made us feel at home, we had an amazing time! The breakfast is great, it changes everyday. The location is 10 minutes walk from the centre but you have restaurants and bars all around. If you surf, main point is 10 minutes by tuk tuk or you have another spot called the wedge just in front of the guest house. It is great to be outside of the crowd of the main road as you can’t hear noises and have a great sleep.

Apple is one of the nicest people you’ll ever meet in Sri Lanka—if not in the entire world. I’ve never been so sad to leave an accommodation before; it truly felt like leaving a friend behind. Hopefully, I’ll be back soon. Not to mention great breakfast and good quiet location but still very close to the town and the beach.

We loved our stay at Gypcey home. We originally booked for 2 nights but ended up staying 5! The property was super clean, the rooms were lovely and spacious and it is in a prime location for accessing restaurants and the beach. Musa and his friends take great care of the property and its guests and helped us organise surf lessons, rides around town and were a great friendly face to have throughout our stay. Would recommend to anyone that they stay here in Arugam bay.

Had a lovely stay at Yoga Shack for a week, it's a chilled surf, yoga community vibe. Location is great, right in the centre of town. Mike is an awesome host, attentive, accommodating, and great to hangout with. 3 yoga classes per day, and other cool activities like breathwork and ecstatic dance 🕺 Good wifi. Shared kitchen is always a win.

Amazing place, near the beach. The rooms have AC and are spatious. It’s located on the ´main road’ nearby all restaurants and shops, yet it’s calm and not noisy. The owner is so friendly. He arranged our taxi to the next stop and he and his wife cooked for us, after that we played a card game. We had the best time in Tropicana Homestay. I would also recommend the surfing lessons, we had the best time with our teacher Rizy, who teached us properly and cared about our safety.
