Swiss Bay Hotel & Resort-Arugambay

Swiss Bay is perfectly located right at the start of Arugam Bay’s main street. From the balcony, you can spot the elephant viewpoint where an elephant usually visits in the mornings and evenings. The beach is just a quick 2–3 minute walk across the road, making the location absolutely ideal. We stayed in the corner room with an L-shaped balcony, and it was just amazing. The room was spacious, comfortable, and equipped with all the facilities you’d expect from a top-notch stay. Even the bathroom stood out — we genuinely loved it. Everything matched the pictures and description perfectly, so you get exactly what’s promised. The caretaker and the owner were both incredibly warm and helpful, making us feel at home right away. They even allowed us a late checkout since our shuttle was leaving at 1 pm, which we really appreciated. On our last day, they treated us to a banana shake that was absolutely delicious — such a sweet gesture. If you’re considering booking this place, don’t hesitate — go for it! We’re already certain we’ll be staying here again.

Very friendly staff. Felt very welcome from the beginning. The room is very clean and brand new. The AC works like a charm. I asked for a banana before my morning surf and received a whole fruit salad! Great people and service.

Loved this home stay! Jazz made me feel very welcomed and they were extremely accommodating when I arrived super early in the morning. The room is spacious and clean, very comfy beds. There is a little grocery store, taxi service stand and surf shop right next to it, all the guys were really nice and helpful and gave good tips for everything. As a woman travelling alone, felt really safe and looked after all the time. I ended up extending quite a few nights. It’s up the road, not right in the main spot, which is nice because it is more quiet in this area. Be mindful there is a mosque nearby and you might hear the call for prayer early in the morning; didn’t bother me though. Would recommend!

I had an incredible stay at Bay Dreams Place and can't recommend it enough! From the moment I arrived, I was greeted by the warm and welcoming Iqbal (owner) and Ghan (cooker), who went above and beyond to ensure my comfort and satisfaction throughout my stay. Their kindness and attention to detail truly made a difference. The accommodation itself is top-notch. The rooms are spacious, comfortable, and impeccably clean. Every detail is thought of to provide a relaxing and enjoyable experience. After a long day of exploring, coming back to such a cozy and well-maintained room was a treat. One of the highlights of my stay was the breakfast. Every morning, I was delighted by the variety and quality of the food. You can eat to your heart's content, and the best part is that the breakfast menu changes daily, so you’re in for a pleasant surprise each morning. And don’t miss the Ghan’s grilled fish at dinner—it's an absolute must! The fish is incredibly fresh and bursting with flavor. It was one of the best meals I’ve had in a long time. I can’t forget to mention that Iqbal and Ghan took great care of me and my brother by taking us on a motorcycle ride to see the elephants over two days because we couldn't get very close on the first day. They are both very attentive and have very good hearts. On my birthday, they thoughtfully prepared a birthday cake so we could celebrate in the morning. Whatever you need, Iqbal can help you with everything, like: scooter, safaris, surfboard rental, transport and so on. Overall, Bay Dreams Place exceeded all my expectations. With its wonderful staff, excellent accommodation, and outstanding food, it's the perfect getaway. I'll definitely be returning next year!!!

    The location is 10 min walking from the beach and 20 min from pottovil surfing. Location is quiet, yet close enough to the beach and surfing point. The garden of the property is beautiful with a nice seating area for breakfast and dinner.
