Lucky Bay was the perfect accomondation for us, its affordable and a 30 second walk to the nicest section of the beach (flat, no fishing boats crowding it etc) The rooms are simple, clean, with A/C and a nice little shaded area out front with a hammock and chairs for chilling.
The property is beautifully landscaped with heaps of palms, ferns, and Frangipanis lining the path to the rooms which creates a peaceful and lush atmosphere I haven't seen at any other accomodation in A bay.
Muhammad the owner runs Lucky with alot of care and works hard to keep the grounds tidy, We had multiple friendly conversations with him, he helped us with transport and even brought some of his mothers cooking for us to sample - proper Sri Lankan hospitality!
Close to good restuarants but not too noisy in the evening which is difficult to find.
Really enjoyed our stay here!

It's a place for beach lovers and surfers.
It's a place for beach lovers and surfers. Further not that spectaculair place to stay, lot is outdated and overprized.
For nature lovers is Kumana the place to be and for that reason you stay in Arugam Bay. One village further is Panama, with a little accommodation to stay.

It is a must destination for any traveller who is interested in surfing. There are shops to buy your needs and many more. You can find good restaurants where they serve meals at any time. Kumana the wild life sanctuary for birds is nearby to where you can arrange transport at Arugumbay. Apart from birds, crocodiles. Leopards. Bears and elephants can be sighted. Though this is situated at east coast there are places where you can observe sunsets as well.
The property is comfortable, beautiful and very well located in Arugam Bay. You have direct access to beach and is walking distance to restaurants and the main streets in Arugam Bay.
We were welcomed by Rinas, the manager, which since first contact was super friendly and helpful. During our stay the entire staff were very nice to talk with, ask questions, arrange trips and spend time together.
I really wish every hotel had a Rinas as a manager, he made our stay very enjoyable!
Really enjoyed my stay here, the room was basic but had everything I needed. Mosquito net worked very well and the bathroom/shower was spacious. I was greeted with a smile every time and Murshith was super friendly and really enjoyed getting to know you. He also helped arrange a surf lesson for me last minute and it was one of my favorite activities I did in Arugam Bay. Extremely close to the beach, just 1-2 minute walk and very close to restaurants and all the action at night.
One of the best hostels I’ve stayed at! The owner and his team are so thoughtful. The breakfast is incredible with several options (oats, pancakes, string hoppers, coconut roti). The location is great, it’s central and located on a quiet side street across from the beach. I also like the type of guests this hostel has attracts, most of which being young professionals who are considerate of the peaceful atmosphere. I will be staying here again next time I come to Arugam Bay!
The best choice for staying in Arugam Bay. It's right off the beach, you can hear the waves crashing from the courtyard! It's situated near restaurants and in a quiet area (which is really nice) but you can still walk to the center and everything you need is a short walk from the hotel. Very clean, quiet, safe, and near the beach, hammocks are a huge plus, and the staff is very accommodating and helpful. I highly recommend it and would absolutely stay here again!!
I had a fantastic stay at Starfish Cabana! The location was perfect, just a 4-minute walk from Arugam Bay and the surfers' spot, making it ideal for both beginners and advanced surfers at Black Beach. Additionally, being so close to the main street with all the restaurants, pubs, and supermarkets was a huge convenience. The vibes at the place were amazing, and the host was exceptionally nice and helpful throughout our stay. Highly recommended!
If I can write one thing here, it is that I have never had such a great experience in any hotel in the world.
The owner Abdul makes everything possible for his guests.
I have not experienced such a loving and friendly manner for a long time.
I was traveling alone as a woman and Abdul always made sure that I was okay and that nothing happened to me.
He even accompanied me from Arugam Bay to the airport!
I can only recommend this hotel to you.
Room was perfect and everything I needed, good vibes, cute surf house, felt safe, and I love that they're opening up a co-work (great idea)!! Food and drinks were awesome, and the owners are SO nice and want to help with anything and everything you need (including help for surfboard rentals and local restaurants). I'm definitely recommending this place to all my friends that come to Arugum Bay when they visit Sri Lanka!!
We loved the terrace and to play cards there. It has a great atmosphere with all the Palms around.
It is away from the noisy Center in arugam bay (although you have to accept that there are some mosques around...so they sing in the early morning).
The Price is the best you can have. For Our other appartement which was the cheapest alternative we paid double the price.
The place has a very homey vibe, practical room designs and good spots for yoga / relax. Kitchen has blender which is a must with all ths fruits around! Owner is very resonable and onest and very tidy, kept the place very clean for the whole time. It's also the best quality / price ration you can find in Abay! Thnak you and see you again next season!
This was the best place for us to stay in Arugambay! Very clean and cozy room, green surrounding, great food, supportive and friendly staff! Ashan made it easier. Every time when we needed a help (arranging safari, find a transfer etc) he helped us. I highly recommend this place! Thank you so much for this great time in Arugambay!
We had an awesome stay at shine Rise Hostel in Arugambay The service was great and the room was very clean and Comfortable., The owner is very young and helpful and tried to help us every single time and they're have a beach party place and bar. We would definitely Come back to this awesome place :)
Great facility and close to all that Arugam Bay has to offer.
Safe, clean, and great value for money!
Friendly and very helpful staff, especially Dube, who continued to do his very best to help any given situation, including getting beers for local prices delivered on a very hot day👍🏾
Little Lagoon is in an amazing location. On the lagoon edge and on the Main Street of Arugam Bay. The accommodation is wonderful! We stayed in one of the double room containers and it was perfect, such a fun concept. It’s within a really well kept garden area and the hosts are so friendly!
We had an awesome stay at dreamy hostel in arugambay.The service was great and the room was very clean and comfortable .the owner is very very helpful and tried to help us evry single time and they got a coffee shop as well .we would definitely come back to this awesome place:)
Argh I LOVED my stay at Coco hostels. The staff are the kindest, so helpful, and location is perfect - super close to beach and best restaurants. Will definitely stay again when I return to Arugam Bay.
A stunning property in a tranquil paradise. You would not think that you were in the middle of Arugam Bay. Staff and room were excellent. We were extremely happy with our stay here.
