Whisky Point Resort, hotel in Arugam Bay

Situated in Pottuvil and with Whiskey Point reachable within 30 metres, Whisky Point Resortfeatures a restaurant, non-smoking rooms, free WiFi and a garden.

We stayed at Whiskey Point during low season and for two nights we had the place all for ourselves. The atmosphere was awesome and despite of staying only for three nights, we felt like family with the staff guys. They had really helpful tips for us. One of our kids best memories of the entire trip is making Pizza in the wood fired pizza oven at Whiskey Point. The Pizza by the way was really good. I also imagine this to be a nice and quieter place during high season compared to Arugam Bay. At the same time Arugam Bay is only a short TukTuk ride away and easy to reach for a snack or surf session. We would definitely come back

Mohammed is the kindest host we have ever met. Everyday he came by with some of the best snacks. The entire place looks unreal as he is working in the gardens all day. He organized our safari to Kumana National Park and we had the best day. The second you arrive, you’ll feel like your at home.

    It's a place for beach lovers and surfers.

    It's a place for beach lovers and surfers. Further not that spectaculair place to stay, lot is outdated and overprized. For nature lovers is Kumana the place to be and for that reason you stay in Arugam Bay. One village further is Panama, with a little accommodation to stay.

    It is a must destination for any traveller who is interested in surfing. There are shops to buy your needs and many more. You can find good restaurants where they serve meals at any time. Kumana the wild life sanctuary for birds is nearby to where you can arrange transport at Arugumbay. Apart from birds, crocodiles. Leopards. Bears and elephants can be sighted. Though this is situated at east coast there are places where you can observe sunsets as well.

    I had a fantastic stay at Starfish Cabana! The location was perfect, just a 4-minute walk from Arugam Bay and the surfers' spot, making it ideal for both beginners and advanced surfers at Black Beach. Additionally, being so close to the main street with all the restaurants, pubs, and supermarkets was a huge convenience. The vibes at the place were amazing, and the host was exceptionally nice and helpful throughout our stay. Highly recommended!

    We LOVED the Spice Trail. We booked this hotel as a last minute stay for 3 nights, and it really is a slice of heaven in Arugam Bay. Our room was huge, and the minimal boho decor made it a haven for relaxation - the private garden was an added bonus! The breakfast at Spice Trail was our favourite food that we had in the whole of Arugam Bay. I recommend the Masala Eggs! Thank you so much - we wish we could have stayed longer.

    An amazing place by the beach and with a hammock. But I did a mistake of visiting Arugambay off season( Please check the season dates for here). However Mubarak and his brother were very helpful. Arranged me a Lagoon safari which was quite interesting. Prices seemed a bit high considering it's off season as well. However loved the facilities. Cabana was very clean and has a good balcony and private washroom. Loved it

    I enjoyed my stay at Twinkle Bay Hotel. The rooms are adequate and clean. It is in a prime location in Arugam Bay, not far from the beach and the shopping street. The hostel owner Muza is very accommodating and nice. He took care of all my needs. From staying in the hotel room after I checked out to taking me to the bus station from where I left. I loved it and would come back anytime!

    Located in ACTUAL paradise … right on the beach a bit further out from Arugam Bay center but that’s why it’s so peaceful. Staff are the kindest people I’ve met so far in Sri Lanka and make you feel at home immediately. Chef cooking breakfasts every morning changes what she was cooking - you just need to ask and she’ll make it! Blissful stay. Thank you Shim Beach Resort!
