The location was great. If you don't want to stay in crowded Arugambay this is the right place for you. You have your own pirvate beach, a little cabana, good food at the restaurant and it is the cleanest hotel we have been in Sri Lanka.

The location is quiet but close enough to walk to the beach. The accommodation is basic but fully functional and I had the best sleep here each night out of my whole 3 weeks in Sri Lanka. Enjoyed being able to choose breakfast from the menu. Rifai and family were very friendly and Rifai helped with all my questions and arranged a tuktuk for me. The family have recently opened this accommodation and are currently building another room. Please support local!

You are more likely to meet a European than a local here.

You are more likely to meet a European than a local here. This is definately not a reflection on Sri Lankan culture, however the beach town is slow and quiet (realtively speaking) and there are plenty of shops and restaurants. And of coure, the surf is consistent and the water warm. It's a winner for a beach holiday.

The best feature of Arugam Bay is the surrounding jungle, lakes and lagoons. The main beach is very busy but other beaches, such as Peanut Farm are less crowded, Do thye Lagoon Safari and a park safari but also try surfing and relaxing on the beach.

still relatively not crowded by the locals due to the distance, and miles of unspoiled, beautiful, isolated beaches to be found. Surfers paradise, but the seas can be a bit rough for the average sea goer. accommodation can be a bit overpriced during season but you can find some reasonable accommodation if you search and ask around.

Best And Best Place + ❤️Hidden Gem in Arugum Bay!❤️Location is perfect to everything you need (restaurants, beaches, convenience stores). Property nestled well within nature with a Huge tree keeping the property cool in the afternoons, a hangout area and a fully equipped kitchen at your disposal. Marina Way staff are the friendliest I've met in Arugumbay and work hard everyday to make sure the property is always looking neat and clean! Thank you to Ameen and his great team for being so accommodating!

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!!

"I had an amazing stay at The Blue Wave Hotel, Arugam Bay! The service was excellent, with friendly and attentive staff ensuring a great experience. The food was absolutely delicious, full of rich flavors and fresh ingredients. The rooms were spotless, spacious, and extremely comfortable, making for a very relaxing stay. The pool was impressively large and kept crystal clean, perfect for unwinding. Highly recommend this hotel for anyone visiting Arugam Bay!"

The hotel is perfectly placed, right by the centre og arugam bay, but still quiet at night and the beach is only minutes away by foot. We got upgraded for free, and the room was really nice. The straff was very helpful and arranged a Safari for us. We ended up extending our stay here.

Best value hotel with AC in Arugam bay. We looked at several before deciding this one is the best for the money. Silky smooth clean sheets, silent air conditioning and the manager was a lovely guy. He helped us and advised us on our next move up the coast with great information.
