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

    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 Further not that spectaculair place to stay, lot is outdated and overprized.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.

    The property is in perfect location for everything in Arugam Bay but away from hustle and bustle. The staff are lovely and welcoming. Rooms are comfortable and beds were great. The pool is a nice addition to have as not many places have them in A Bay. There is a small cafe across the road that sells the nicest little snacks which the kids loved using. Best donuts in the world !!! We had surf lessons that were organised by the resort with their own instructor who was fantastic. Highly recommended.

    The best choice for staying in Arugam Bay. It's right off the beach, you can hear the waves crashing from the courtyard! It's situated near restaurants and in a quiet area (which is really nice) but you can still walk to the center and everything you need is a short walk from the hotel. Very clean, quiet, safe, and near the beach, hammocks are a huge plus, and the staff is very accommodating and helpful. I highly recommend it and would absolutely stay here again!!

    This is the beachfront hotel property of a big coconut estate in Arugam Bay, so more space is available to enjoy and chill out. I realize that it gives me more quieter and freedom. Very peaceful place with friendly and helpful staff. Nice dorms, it is located on top of the first floor and you can see the Ocean view when you sleep only hearing the sound of the sea waves creasing against the beach. This choice was a great experience and recommended.

    Extremely friendly host who is happy to help you with any questions. The accommodation is near to the beach (about 120m) and at the beginning of the main road of Arugam Bay, where are plenty of restaurants, bars and shops. I like it more to walk a few minutes to the crowded spots, than sleeping in the near of them. Breakfast was okay and enough. For two nights it was okay, no regrets. You get what you pay. ;)

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
