Best Location and Quiet Place

Its beachfront. You can hear the waves crashing. Great location.

The rooms are great, clean, and comfortable, and the air conditioning was a welcome relief from the heat. The breakfast was excellent, featuring rich local cuisine flavors. Its location is perfect—positioned at the beginning of the main road and very close to the beach. Additionally, the staff and the owners are incredibly hospitable; they are respectful, attentive, and make sure to take care of everything we needed.

We loved our stay at Maccan's - the proximity to the beach is great, the service provided by staff was above and beyond what we have encountered to date on this journey. The rooms are spacious and provide ample lightning and privacy to relax. We felt our room was well priced - the water in shower is not super hot however, this did not impact negatively on our stay. The pool and pool surroundings are excellent to meet and converse with other guests - we found this an excellent opportunity to discuss other Sri Lankan and Arugam Bay experiences we may of other wised missed. Not to mention the crew at Maccan's are fairly handy surfers and will be more than happy to discuss - how best to assist you catching some Arugam Bay waves.

It was very clean and very kind staff !

The ambience of the place was always great with a super friendly staff always there to help. The food and cocktail options were amazing and it certainly exceeded all of my already high expectations. The location itself is extremely convenient which was just about a 50m walk to the beach.

My stay at Wave Hunters was exactly what I was looking for. Youkan was an amazing host. He truly cares about his guests in a way that is rare — you can tell that hosting is his passion. I loved it whenever he brought out the guitar. Can't wait to come back.

Very nice place to stay ! It’s right on the beach in a middle of everything ! Clean rooms and friendly stuff!

Recently opened, new rooms, clean, comfortable.

Tranquil and serene. There are peacocks in the morning that frolic in the field of baby mango trees. The cabanas are set back very far from the street, so I slept very deeply. The entire property is shaded with enormous old trees and positioned for a wonderful breeze to flow through so the heat is minimized. The A/C and hot water worked well, and the room was clean and comfortable. Mattresses seemed fairly new which is always a bonus! The staff was friendly and had all the information I needed about where to eat, how to arrange for excursions, and was always available to answer my questions. I didn’t stay in the dorm-style rooms but I popped into the washrooms to rinse my hands and they were super clean! As a former backpacker this is always a big one for me. Oh! I also used their yoga area, there are so many places to enjoy some space outside. Def recommend if you want somewhere private and calm, Arugam bay is very loud and bustling with people so this was a lovely respite from the cacophony of the tourist season.

The owner is very helpful and friendly.

It was the perfect base for our visit to Arugam Bay. The rooms are clean, spacious & quiet.. The beach is in 50m walk. The owners of the hotel were lovely as well, and were happy to help with anything. The A/C is very good. different breakfasts wait in every morning. No ants or insects in the room. I extend my stays there for their good service and the best room. Highly recommend this place.

It was really an amazing place to visit the staff was so friendly and cool. Had so much fun u will see it soon u visit the resort. They had so much games for entertainment. The pool area was so clean and the view is amazing. It was a worthy place for a good price. I Highly recommend this stay.

Everything was amazing and staff were the best and so helpful most recommended!!

We loved our stay at Rams Resort. Honestly, it's a super unique place in terms of the community created around - starting from the staff and the manager but also all the guests seem to get along so well and it doesn't feel like your typical hotel. You always feel supported with anything you might need and there's always someone around with the solution or a helpful tip. They'll help you organize with everything you need and you'll feel very welcome. All is super comfy too and the location is great. Fully recommend!

Location couldn’t be better, right in town and close walk to Main Point. The check in process was really easy, and the rooms were surprisingly quiet given the proximity to bars and the beach. Phenomenal place. Selvi was really kind and helpful.

Location - 2 min from Main Road, 4 min from the beach. Very clean, hot water, the staff is super friendly, and the pool is awesome! But, the real value for me was Mustafa - the manager. For my entire stay I felt like the hotel's princess. My every need was met - even before I asked it, he walked me to and from the hotel after dark to make me feel safe (solo traveler). Also, I was consulting with him regarding a taxi back to the airport, and instead of "fixing" me with his friends, he booked me a local bus directly to the airport. With his OWN money, thus saved me around 160$.

Spacious modern very well appointed hotel / sea views from all rooms / fab quiet and effective aircon / clean sea and great waves right in front of hotel

Good location, swimmingpool clean and tidy, breakfast was good and excellent service.

I had the pleasure of staying at Asai Surf Inn in Arugam Bay, and it was an exceptional experience from start to finish. The location strikes a perfect balance—everything is easily accessible, yet it remains calm and relaxing, away from the crowds. The property itself is impressively well-maintained and stands out for its cleanliness—easily one of the cleanest places I’ve stayed in Sri Lanka. The rooms are generously sized, very comfortable, and kept in excellent condition with consistent daily housekeeping. The breakfast experience was another highlight of the stay. There was a wide variety of options, from fresh fruits and pastries to well-prepared hot dishes that catered to different tastes. Everything was flavorful and beautifully presented, with attentive staff ensuring items were always replenished. The dining area was clean, spacious, and had a pleasant atmosphere, making it a perfect way to start the day. What truly made the stay remarkable, however, was the level of hospitality. The staff were incredibly warm and attentive, always ready to assist with anything we needed. Whether it was arranging tuk tuk rides quickly or ensuring every detail of our stay was taken care of, their genuine care and dedication really stood out. Having stayed in many hotels around the world, it’s rare to find a place where the staff make such a meaningful difference to the overall experience. Asai Surf Inn did exactly that, and I’m truly grateful for the memorable stay.

The cabana we rented was very nice and cozy. There was a fan and a mosquito net. The location is perfect, just a few steps from the beach. The shared shower and toilet are clean. Beautiful ambiance with waves crashing on the shore. It is great that the breakfast is included

Perfect place and spot to be in Arugam!

The location is the best, close to the main surfing point and to all the restaurants.

The way dormitory arranged was great rather than having bunk beds they have arrange beds in a unique way ❤️ Great atmosphere ❤️ Great place to enjoy your time ❤️

Great property. Right near a secluded part of the beach. Kamil is your man. Incredibly helpful staff. Great food, helpful with bookings for other activities.

Amazing stay at Mira Mola. The hotel is beautiful, the staff truly goes above and beyond, and the room was very comfortable with an incredible sea view. Falling asleep to the sound of the waves and waking up gently with the morning sunlight was pure bliss. A truly peaceful and beautiful escape; I highly recommend it!
