The staff were very helpfull and helped us with a tuk-tuk to the Elephant rock and to arrange surf lesions. Very clean. Very close to the Beach and the main Road with restaurants and bars. Would recommend for everyone to go there!

This place is a "pearl in the rough" ! It was like being in Bali twenty years ago with all it's rustic charm and eating the best Italian food out of Italy ! The owners could not do enough....the staff were friendly yet efficient. I celebrated a birthday there with a cake and beach bonfire....sublime ! And, a rarity, saw a beautiful Leopard on safari. Best birthday in 65 years !

Beautiful sea views in a peaceful setting. The place feels private and is run by a lovely family who are so welcoming, kind, and accommodating - they really made us feel at home. The location is ideal if you want to be slightly away from the hustle and bustle of Arugam Bay, while still being just an easy walk into the main area. Would highly recommend!

Our stay at Beach Wave Hotel has been the best experience we've had on our holiday. The room is very comfortable, and has a lovely balcony with hammoch (beach view) which is perfect to relax in after a long day out. The location was excellent, it is a 05 second walk to the beach and is ideally located to all necessary amenities, e.g. restaurants , bars, supermarkets, ATMs, etc. Our experience would not have been possible without Beach Waves extremely kind and tireless host, Naleem, who is attentive to his guests' every needs. Silmir organised our travel to Arugam Bay, and to the airport, he also arranged for our surf lessons, and the excursions we were interested in. SIlmir does not overcharge or take a commission on any of these services, he simply provides you the best price and best person for the job. We surfed with the best surf school in Arugam Bay, and he was even kind enough to assist with getting a special massage for my partner's sprained ankle. Highly recommend this place and Value for the stay! Beach Wave Hotel is really the only option to choose when deciding where to stay in Arugam Bay!

    Salty Alchemy feels like home, beautifully decorated and positioned right on the beachfront. Julia and Loku were the most incredible hosts and their dogs were the best companions whilst having afternoon naps in the hammock with the waves crashing!

    the cabanas are right on the beach, you can wake up and walk straight into the ocean! the staff became our friends and did so much for us. the rooms are basic but have everything you need for a comfortable stay - including a variety of electrical outlets for many countries. cold water showers are a relief in the sticky, humid conditions in Arugam bay. location is ideal, on the main strip, near restaurants and shops. I came to stay 3 days and stayed 11, I’ll be back at the end of this week for an extra 3 days.

    The hotel boasts the prime location in Arugam Bay, complemented by friendly staff and a lovely garden. It offers excellent beach access. The view of the sea from the seaside rooms is breathtaking. Additionally, the hotel's provision of drinkable water for refills is a thoughtful touch.

    As fresh as a daisy. The staff and service provided were top noch. Sri lankan hospitality at its finest. With attention and care given to every detail, but not in an intrusive way. All requests were met with a smile. Villa was spacious, comfortable, and clean. Most amazing was the convenience of lovely sunrise at the beach in front of Villa, sunset views and very quiet place. We will sure come back again. Thank you to oceano surf team

    Great staff and cute little beach huts! Very quiet location right on the beach. This is the perfect hide away if you want to avoid the party scene in Arugam but stay close to the surf. The owner helped us renting a tuktuk and we drove around with our surf boards on top. The food they are serving is very tasty, fresh and very cheap.
