SURF N SUN - Arugam Bay

Loved the location and beautiful surroundings with a lot of attention to detail. The sustainability aspects were noticeable and appreciated. The lounge area was very relaxing and welcoming.The staff were really helpful and the breakfast was fantastic.

We could have booked 2 separate rooms for the price of 1 shared with 4 people, so value for money was the only issue.

From the moment I arrived, I could feel how much love, intention, and attention to detail was poured into every corner of this place. Nothing feels random here, every plant, crystal, pathway, light, and little object seems to have been placed with care and meaning. The crystals everywhere create such a peaceful, grounding, and powerful energy. The whole atmosphere feels alive, sacred, and deeply calming, like nature, spirit, and beauty all exist together in perfect harmony. The staff are absolutely amazing, each and every one of them. Whatever I needed, they somehow always knew how to help. They know everyone, they know everything, and they were able to arrange and guide me with anything I needed during my stay. More than anything, I felt as I was one of the family, like I was part of the place. I loved every single moment I was lucky enough to spend here, and I’m so grateful for the beautiful people I met along the way. This place felt more of an experience than only accommodation, a little magical world of its own. WILL DEFINITELY COME BACK!!!

We stayed here for 6 nights, and it truly felt like a place that reconnects you with nature, grounds you, and gently slows you down. It’s the kind of place where you can sit in the garden for hours, surrounded by beautifully landscaped grounds, simply breathing and being present. Every detail in the property feels intentional — from the design elements to the small artistic touches in every corner. No two spaces feel the same, and the overall ambiance is simply incredible. A special mention to the chef — the food was outstanding. Every meal was memorable. The staff were consistently warm, smiling, and genuinely helpful, which made our stay even more special. We also had the pleasure of meeting the owner, who kindly shared the history of the property with us, as well as his brother, who arranged our safari, Elephant Rock, and lagoon excursions seamlessly. We stayed in the villa, which was very spacious and comfortable, and we especially loved the porch with the hammock — the perfect spot to unwind. Even the music in the main lobby added to the atmosphere; it truly felt like it put you in a calming, almost trance-like state, with a thoughtfully curated playlist. And of course, a special memory goes to the property dog (a sweet pitbull whom I affectionately named), who even decided to sleep in our room on our last night — such a gentle and lovable presence. Don’t miss the milk cake and sweet potato chips — both are must-tries! This place has such a beautiful energy and vibe. Highly recommended for anyone looking to disconnect from city life and experience something authentic and grounding. I will definitely come back. Thank you so much for everything. Maria

that we had to leave :(

The room was very comfortable. The location is the real star, literally 30 seconds walk to the main beach area. The staff were very friendly and polite.

Not much, the staff are very polite but service during breakfast can be slow......and only 1 tea / coffee / juice included.
