Situated within 200 metres of Arugam Bay Beach and 400 metres of Pasarichenai Beach in Arugam Bay, Drift provides accommodation with seating area. There is a private entrance at the villa for the convenience of those who stay. The villa features rooms with air conditioning, free private parking and free WiFi.

If you see Drift is available, book it right away. Kannan is amazing host and the best surf instructor in Arugam Bay you can find. The room is clean and spacious, the area is close to the beach, Main Street with all restaurants and shops. The internet is good too. I didn’t struggle to work remotely comparing to other places in Arugam Bay and Sri Lanka in general. I really enjoyed time spent at Drift, surf lessons and communication with Kannan.

    Little Bay is one of the best hostels I've ever stayed in and the host is one of the best I've ever met. Everything about the hostel was perfect from the cozy vibe to the layout of the dorm rooms and the attentiveness of Ruan (the host) in ensuring my time in Arum Bay was absolutely perfect. Would absolutely recommend to anyone and everyone.

    We really enjoyed our days here! The bungalows are just a few meters away from the beach and the surroundings are just beautiful with many plants and flowers. The room is spacious with a comfortable bed, an AC and fan. The host Mohammed was the best - he was super nice and helpful and brought us snacks all day long. We would definitely come back!

    Loved all our talks with the owners, the fantastic. Italian food and the cozy atmosphere In this little beautiful off the beaten track resort near Surfers paradise - Arugam Bay and the least visited part of Yala National Park. The bungalows are beautiful and it felt like a home away from home for us so even though. it was a long ride from Colombo airport but worth it

    Amazing sea front cabin directly on the beach. The room is clean, cozy and comfortable. Nothing beats waking up in front of the ocean with the sound of waves crashing and birds singing. Breakfast is really good although it is not included in the room rare. The owner is super nice: he knew we had some issues with our rental car and took us to a couple of shops to have it repaired.
