This is by far the best accommodation we’ve been to in Sri Lanka. Even though some people avoid this area during February as it’s considered low season, we had the best experience. It was quiet, sunny and relaxing. Anna and Nicolo are the best hosts and help out with whatever you need; surfing, safari, transport, etc. Their restaurant has delicious traditional pizza, pasta and more. Besides that, we saw a whole range of wildlife in the area, including free roaming elephants and crocodiles. After 3 nights I decided to extend my stay in Sri Lanka and come back for another full week at Whisky Point. Thank you so much for this wonderful experience!

The resort is great but idle for couples since they are Cabanas. With kids may be not a good idea.

Absolutely stunning beach front hotel, pool was great with the kids, the chef was incredible - every dish was super tasty. We loved the outdoor chilling area and bean bags. Rooms were very spacious and stunning views of the ocean. And it was so close to the hustle of Arugam Bay!

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.

This place is the best budget hostel I’ve stayed at in Sri Lanka — maybe even in the past years. I was only here for one night, but I got an amazing impression. The bed mattress in the dorm was the most comfortable I’ve ever had, even compared to much more expensive accommodations. Every detail in the room and throughout the whole place is thoughtfully designed. The room size, the common areas, and the bathroom are all optimally laid out. The mosquito net is perfect. There’s a small locker for your stuff — not too big, just the right size. The bathroom is super clean. Small details that aren’t always a given elsewhere: the water drains properly, the mirror and light switches are clean, there’s space for your towel and belongings. Everything is spotless. The staff is very friendly. There are power outlets next to the bed. All this at an amazing value — you could even say it’s cheap. I totally recommend this place to everyone.

My sister and I recently had the pleasure of staying at the aprota villas and we had an absolutely wonderful time. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with warm smiles. We booked an chalet which was well-maintained room, with a beautiful view, made us feel really comfortable. The staff went above and beyond to make our stay special, from accommodating our requests to offering helpful suggestions for things to do in the area. We enjoyed a delightful meal at the villa, where the food was not only delicious but also served with exceptional care. Overall, our stay at The Aprota villas was a memorable experience. We want to extend our heartfelt thanks to the staff for their excellent service and to the hotel for providing a perfect setting for our getaway. We look forward to returning in the future.

Wonderful place This has been a wonderful stay! We had our own little bungalow in a garden surrounded by palm trees! It had both AC and a fan! The place has a nice pool and is lying right on the beach! 🤩 The staff greeted us in a heartwarming way when we arrived late in the evening and made us a good meal, even despite the fact that our booking didn't come through in time as we booked it late. They are all very kind and helpful with everything! The Sri Lankan food they make is amazing, and they know how to take care of you! I highly recommend this place! 🌞If you are here to surf, they are happy to arrange this for you! Raja, the older gentleman, a positive soul, and a happy person was great to us!❤️ If you want secluded prestine beaches, then this place and Whiskey Point is perfect for you!

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.
