Located within 200 metres of Arugam Bay Beach and 1.6 km of Pasarichenai Beach in Arugam Bay, Baywatch Arugambay provides accommodation with seating area. This property offers access to a balcony, free private parking and free WiFi. The guest house features family rooms.

I stayed here for 1 night because the place I initially wanted to go was fully booked. I enjoyed my stay at Baywatch so much that I came back here! The people are really friendly and helpful. I was welcomed with a delicious welcome drink and they also serve a nice juice and omelette for breakfast. The room is simple but offers everything I need. The shower is really good (note that it’s cold, but I think in Arugam bay all showers are cold since that’s all you want with all the heat outside). They have a mosquito net and some rooms with AC and some with fan. Every room has a cute little terrace with seats overlooking the main garden area. Location is also perfect, close to the main street and the beach. Overall perfect stay!

Great location close to Main Street and the beach which is very helpful as getting tuk tuk out of the main area can be somewhat overwhelming.

Couldn’t recommend Hilltop House enough!

The Jungle House is set on the shore of a jungle river in Arugam Bay. Muhudu Maha Viharaya is 2.4 km away. The property offers wooden deck sun terrace. Free WiFi is available throughout the property.

Every unit has a private bathroom with a shower and a private wooden balcony. Towels and bed linen are provided.

We loved staying at the Jungle House! The room and the bathroom were very clean and beds were made almost every day. Bins were also emptied. The guesthouse has a very nice and aesthetic vibe and Laura is an amazing host! She was always happy to help us with questions and recommendations for the area. She also sells big (18 L) bottles of water for a good price (800 LKR) which was very convenient! The Jungle House is about 200m away from the main road, thus a little more quiet, but you can still walk everywhere. The room also came with a little kitchenette and kettle on the balcony and a fridge in the room. After having done extensive research on where to stay in ABay, we can confidently say that we found the best place! The cute cats living on the property are the cherry on the cake!

    I booked the AC villa and it was perfect for me! I extended my stay to 3 weeks because I enjoyed it here so much. The location ist perfect - super close to everything. Good Wifi (good enough for me to have video calls for work!!), good food (try the Spaghetti with homemade tomato sauce!!), very good value, and super nice hosts that take care of everything. Thank you so much - I'm sure I will be back!!!
