What is not to like? We loved our stay at lucky bay so much we just kept booking extra nights! The location is perfect, right next to the beach and a short walk to the restaurants. Yet you’ll find a peaceful and quiet oasis once you walk into lucky bay! We loved the patio in front of the room with the hammock. The room itself is spacious and clean, as is the bathroom, with a good shower! The cherry on the cake is Mohammed, the owner. I think he is the most sweet and friendly person we’ve met! We couldn’t have wished for a better stay in Arugam bay!

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

Catherine and Michael managed to create an amazing, green oasis. Bungalows are not super fancy but very clean. You have a place to relax on the terrace - pillows and mattress. Food is very tasty and really affordable. You don't need to stick to any schedule. You eat when you want and where you want - in your bungalow or at the swimming pool. "Big wave 🌊" breakfast is delicious and enough even for 2 to share. The entire property is very clean and well maintained. Staff is super friendly and helpful and so are the owners. The swimming pool is big and clean.

A great place for those who appreciate comfort and service. The staff was very kind and helpful, any request was fulfilled in a short time. You could relax and enjoy your holiday. Pleased with the cleanliness of the pool - it was cleaned every morning. The guests of the hotel are also nice people, mostly Europeans who have a rest without children. The room has many pleasant little things that are made with love. The bed is magnificent, every time I lay down on it, it was as if I fell into a cloud.

Everything is perfect. It’s a great distance from the centre of town, easy walking and far enough away to be out of the hustle. The family is so nice and extremely friendly and welcoming. I think it’s the best place in Arugam, for price, location, the room. They also make delicious food.

    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.

    still relatively not crowded by the locals due to the distance, and miles of unspoiled, beautiful, isolated beaches to be found. Surfers paradise, but the seas can be a bit rough for the average sea goer. accommodation can be a bit overpriced during season but you can find some reasonable accommodation if you search and ask around.

We searched for another hotel, because one day it was full here, but couldn’t find anything as good as The Amora for the price. They change the menu of breakfast everyday and it was all tasty😋
