Situated within 100 metres of Arugam Bay Beach and 3.2 km of Muhudu Maha Viharaya, Tropicana Home Stay features rooms with air conditioning and a private bathroom in Arugam Bay. With garden views, this accommodation offers a terrace. The accommodation provides a 24-hour front desk, a shared kitchen and currency exchange for guests. Jazz and his beautiful family were amazing hosts. First, he arranged a very good taxi with a professional driver(And also a VERY fair price) that took us from Colombo to his resort. I couldn't join my partner at the beginning of our stay and she was alone for the most part during our stay here. Jazz knowing about it, he and his beautiful family, alongside this beautiful Dutch couple, made sure that she would have the best time with various activity and their warm company. Overall, she really enjoyed her stay. He even managed an expedition for her alongside that couple at night, to find exotic animals. On the last day when I arrived, not only was I greeted with the highest of hospitality, but also an exceptionally delicious lunch(you can trust my taste, I'm an Iranian), which wasn't included in our plan at all. Also in the reviews I saw some people found the route to the beach difficult. From my personal experience, that is far from the truth. The resort is less than 100 meters away from the beach, it's just a simple walk. If I come to Arugam Bay again, I'll choose this place 100%.

Absolutely speechless. We stayed three full days in this beautiful property with my wife. Our days were filled with serene and calm pool days with amazing boat safari, kayaking and massages. The service was exceptional, food was amazing and the rooms were absolutely amazing. It almost geels that I have no words on how much we enjoyed our stay. The service, quality and the attention to detail made all the difference. If you are looking to visit a beautiful property with amazing pools and the opportunity to do some boat safaris and other activities, then I highly suggest it. Greetings from Finland! We will be coming back.

Featuring a shared kitchen, this property also provides guests with an outdoor fireplace. The guest house offers garden views, a sun terrace and a 24-hour front desk. Wonderful property and host! Iqbal and his staff were so warm and welcoming! They went above and beyond making sure I felt comfortable and enjoyed my stay! I was welcomed with delicious pineapple juice and a pastry. I ended extending my stay because it was such a warm and cozy place to spend a few days at the beach. Beach access is a few meters away. Iqbal also arranged surf lessons to peanut farm and I couldn’t recommend them enough! Best surf coach I’ve ever had! The room was very clean and spacious with hangers for wet clothes and storage. The hammocks outside each room are a very nice touch and relaxing. Each morning, the breakfast was very good and tasty! Lots of fresh fruit! Whatever you need, Iqbal and his team will take care of. Had a lot of nice chats with Iqbal. He will be missed! Wish I could stay for longer. Will definitely be back to this cozy piece of paradise.

Set in Arugam Bay, 100 metres from Arugam Bay Beach and 2.9 km from Muhudu Maha Viharaya, Aqua Blue offers spacious air-conditioned accommodation with a terrace and free WiFi. Featuring a 24-hour front desk, this property also welcomes guests with a restaurant and an outdoor fireplace. The accommodation provides free shuttle service, full-day security and currency exchange for guests. Aqua Blue is right next to the beach, like 50 m away, and in a more quiet location. If you go to the main street, you can sometimes see the 'local' elephant in the marsh nearby. The place is clean, has AC and everything you need, even a hammock to chill in. Basheer is always there to help you with pretty much everything you need. The breakfast is very good and the cappuccino, one of the best in Sri Lanka. I totally recommend Aqua Blue!
