Whisky point is such a special place and I am so glad that I stayed here. The resort itself is beautiful and the perfect place to escape and disconnect. The staff are all amazing and very welcoming. As a solo female traveller I felt very at home and could have stayed much longer. The food is also delicious, from pasta to pizza and homemade banana bread! The first couple of days I was working remotely and I found it very comfortable with good wifi. After that I spent most of my time relaxing on the beach and enjoying the peaceful tranquility and good vibes. I 100% recommend.

Absolutely stunning, private, peaceful and relaxing. Our whole stay at Blue Water was perfect, the cabanas are cute, clean and spacious for couples. We couldn’t fault anything. We stayed for my 40th birthday and the team decorated our room, what a lovely surprise on entry. Although there is no air conditioning, the fans in the room are sufficient and the cabanas are designed well with openings for a breeze. Rinos is amazing, he was so attentive and looked after all of our needs. He’s really friendly, a pleasure to meet and an excellent chef. Sudha and Dinosan are both phenomenal, they make sure the whole area around the cabanas are pristine, they take so much pride and leave patterns in the sand for guests. There is a good variety of food, the fresh juices are so tasty. We had breakfast and dinner most days and Rinos catered for our tastes. The beach is private and only a few steps away, most days we were the only ones there, it is paradise. At night we fell asleep to the sound of the waves. Thank you Blue Water you made our stay unforgettable.

Highly recommended! A family of five. We had the most wonderful time at Stay Golden. Angie and Rihan, the charming couple who owns the place, have created a small microcosmos with everything we needed. Other than going out to surf, we barely left the complex. Rihan gave the kids surfing lessons and pointed the more experienced surfers of our bunch to the right surfing spots. Thank you!

I am incredibly impressed with the outstanding customer service at this establishment. While traveling for work, I had to take public transport and required a very late check-in at 4 AM. Many other places either refused me or tried to charge for two full days, even though I was only staying for a few hours. In a last-minute decision right before boarding my bus, I booked this hotel and explained my situation. To my relief, they immediately agreed to my request without any hesitation or additional fees. When I arrived in the early hours of the morning, everything was perfectly prepared for me. The place itself is lovely, with a unique touch: each room has its own private outdoor seating area complete with a sofa, table, and even a ceiling fan. On top of all that, the location is fantastic, right in the heart of town, making everything easily accessible by foot. I can't recommend this place enough, especially for their wonderful hospitality!

My stay at the Swiss Bay Hotel in Arugam Bay was truly outstanding. It's a place that perfectly blends serene comfort with the vibrant spirit of Sri Lanka's east coast, leaving me with cherished memories and a strong desire to return. The location is simply unparalleled, right on the golden sands of Arugam Bay. Waking up to ocean views and having direct beach access for swims and surfing was incredible. What truly elevated my experience was the exceptional staff. Every member, from reception to housekeeping and the restaurant team, provided genuine warmth and attentiveness, making me feel like a valued friend. Their friendly smiles and readiness to assist were remarkable. The accommodations were a tranquil haven: spacious, beautifully appointed, and impeccably clean, offering a perfect retreat. Beyond the comforts, the atmosphere of Swiss Bay Hotel strikes a perfect balance between lively energy and peaceful relaxation. My time here was an absolute dream. It's a place where every detail is cared for, every guest is cherished, and every moment feels like a true escape. I wholeheartedly recommend this magnificent hotel to anyone seeking an unforgettable experience in Arugam Bay. Thank you for an incredible stay!

The staff were very helpful and friendly, and the room was clean and comfortable. There’s a kitchen with a fridge and cooking facilities, which was great! It’s in a great location, close enough to the beach and restaurants, but far enough from the busy main strip if you want some quiet time. The staff also cooked me the best food on request! Even better than what I had at any restaurant!

    We had a wonderful day at Aprota Villas. The property is stunning and incredibly peaceful. The entire space feels thoughtfully maintained from the gardens to the rooms. The rooms were spacious, spotless and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The Wi-Fi worked very well throughout our stay, and it is not too far from the hotel to the surfing sites that made it so easy to explore the area. The staff were incredibly helpful, always ready to assist with a smile.

    Location is perfect - right in front of the beach and all visits easily reachable by walking (main point 3min) or tuk tuk (peanut farm beach / elephant rock) Breakfast was great. Especially i want to mention the stuff, they were super happy, supportive and helpful with every question or request. One of the best hotels we have been so far. Clean, nice, feels luxurious for a good price (156€ 3 nights in april).

    There are a variety of accommodations at beach hut but all our creatively done, whimsical, and beautiful. I was in the simplest hut and it was exactly what I wanted... sleeping with the sound of the waves in a leafy garden. The location is the best possible and the staff were wonderful. I was there in low season so was almost alone but I'm sure the buzz is great there when it's full.

    Perfect location just steps from the beach and just off the road so there are restaurants and bars a few minutes walk away. Our room was huge with a massive comfortable bed and a big bathroom. We had a fan room. Outside our room we had two chairs to chill out. We didn't have a breakfast deal so we can't comment on that. We ate at Mama's Place nearby which we recommend.

    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.
