RRQQ+X94 Main Point Arugam Bay, Pottuvil 32500, Sri Lanka
We could live here forever! Awesome place to stay and get away from crazy tourist towns in low season. Perfect island beach getaway with our own private hut looking at the surf break, we surfed every day with surfboard hire available. The staff were so friendly and amazing catering to our every need including cold beer, coffee, tea, juice, refreshments, meals and snacks. The town itself is a short walk along the beach. Staff can also organise day trips including water and land safaris. We planned 2 nights, stayed 3 and could have stayed alot longer. If you're following google maps to get there it will take you to a Buddhist residence where you can park (we had a tuk tuk rental) and walk a small track for 1 minute to get to the resort. Or you can call the resort and the staff will come and get you and your luggage. Thank you!
What a place! From the moment you arrive you are greeted with the most amazing vibes and feel all around supported by the incredible staff! The place itself is a (surf) paradise. The cabins are simple but contain everything needed. The highlight is falling asleep to the noise of waves and waking up before sunrise to grab your board and be right at the main surf spot. You basically roll out of bed onto the wave, it's amazing! But Nilukshan, Hari, Piyan and Kiru makes this place truly special. There are so kind, supportive and helpful and I really appreciate all the surfing tips that Hari gave me. Can't recommend this place enough if you love surfing and are looking for some chill vibes.
We didn't actually stay there , but spent many days chilling at the beach bar, having coconuts, renting surfboards and making friends. Staff is lovely, place is beautiful (right in front of the surf peak) and good prices. All amazing, we really felt like home. We also worked online there for a few days
We loved staying here and we are coming back! Amazing beach huts right at the main point. Amazing for everybody who likes surfing or just staying right at the ocean site. Beside that the food is very nice and affordable. The the people who are working there are so nice and heartwarming. It felt like home.
I extended my stay for a week because I loved this place so much. The rooms are pretty basic but the location is perfect, with main point right on your doorstep. It’s a pleasant 10 minute walk along the beach to get to town, so it’s quiet and peaceful and really feels like you’re in nature. Most of all, the all the staff are so friendly and welcoming it really made it feel like home! Bonus points for the sweetest cats and dogs.
