I spent eight or nine days at SeaWare Flowers Hotel in Arugam Bay, and I can genuinely recommend it. The manager, Sam, was extremely helpful, kind, and always available. he made me feel very welcome from the start. One of the highlights was the breakfast: every morning, I could choose between a traditional Sri Lankan breakfast or an English one. Even on days when I woke up later than planned, the breakfast was still freshly prepared without any issue that level of care was truly appreciated. The atmosphere at the hotel was very relaxed and peaceful. My room was spacious, very clean, and well equipped with both air conditioning and a fan.

We had an absolutely amazing stay at Whisky Point Resort, and we wholeheartedly recommend it to everyone!! A special shoutout to Mufaris and Murthala for their outstanding and precise service—they went above and beyond to make our experience unforgettable. The highlight of our stay was the incredible food and drinks. The iced tea was the best we’ve ever tasted, and the pizza was absolutely divine! Every bite and sip transported us to a place of pure bliss. Whisky Point Resort truly feels like a little paradise nestled within an already paradise-like island. The serene ambiance, combined with the warmth and hospitality of the staff, makes this a must-visit destination. Thank you for such an unforgettable experience. We’ll be back for sure!

Beautiful cabana’s in a quiet and well maintained garden at almost a private bay. Great airco, ice cold private fridge in the room and even a fan on the terrace. Incredible friendly staff. Great food - breakfast jaffles and banana pancakes, curries and noodles for dinner and the delicious milkshakes

Everything was perfect, and as always, everything started and ended with the people. Catherine and Michel are amazing people, with a huge heart and a big smile. Always ready to help, with good advice and help with the surfboards, renting a bike, renting a tuk-tuk or any other matter that makes an ordinary vacation so amazing. Another thing, the hotel staff, smiling, polite and kind. It is clear that the place is so important to them as if it were their own home. The place is meticulously cared for down to the smallest detail and this, in my experience, is extremely rare in Sri Lanka. The cabins are cozy, air-conditioned and ventilated. The beds are extremely comfortable, the showers are spacious and partially exposed to the sky and the coconut halves scattered around. Hot water 24/7 is simply magic. The pool is simply amazing, pleasant and clean at all times, spotless. The location - on the pottuvil Point strip and within walking distance of the point itself, which is one of the best in Sri Lanka. Even beginners will enjoy this beach. Even those who do not surf and want to relax will greatly enjoy the special and quiet location. The restaurant is run by a local family and serves varied and delicious food at completely reasonable prices and with meticulous service. You can eat in the restaurant or next to the room. In conclusion, my brother and I stayed at the hotel for 7 nights and I have no doubt that we will return to this magical place again. Catherine and Michel - I wish you only the best, until next time Elad and Yariv

Had a wonderful stay at Bay Vista. The two men working the front desk were so kind and helpful, they went out of their way to make my stay enjoyable. They helped arrange surf lessons and transportation. Room was clean and comfortable, and there is a lot of room in the restaurant/gardens area to relax. It was nice to have beach chairs right in front of the property. The yoga class on the rooftop each evening was lovely. The hotel is in a great location, about a 10 minute walk along the beach to the main point for surfing every day and it is central to restaurants and shopping. Would definitely return!

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.

This place is absolutely beautiful with stunning views all around! The hotel itself is big, stylish, and very comfortable. We really loved the nature here — everything is so green, peaceful, and full of life. The atmosphere is amazing — cozy, private, and relaxing. One of the highlights for us were the dogs — so friendly and sweet, they made our stay even more special! 🐶 The hotel doesn’t have too many rooms, which makes it feel more private and exclusive — perfect for a peaceful, quiet holiday. The staff are super friendly and always ready to help with anything. The hotel has a large area with beautiful spaces, amazing design, and lots of places to relax and enjoy. Everything feels thought-through and high quality. We truly enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend it! 💫

If you’re looking for relaxation and disconnecting from everything, this is your place. The room was comfortable, spotless, and had everything we needed. The restaurant served delicious food at very reasonable prices. The pool area was amazing and just steps away from the beach! 🏝️ But what truly made our stay unforgettable was the staff. Everyone was incredibly kind and went above and beyond to meet our needs, especially Mr. Raja, who took care of us like a father. We’ll definitely be coming back! ❤️

You are more likely to meet a European than a local here.

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.

The best feature of Arugam Bay is the surrounding jungle, lakes and lagoons. The main beach is very busy but other beaches, such as Peanut Farm are less crowded, Do thye Lagoon Safari and a park safari but also try surfing and relaxing on the beach.
