Hostels in Arugam Bay

I loved absolutely everything especially how modern this place is, I even extended my stay. Such a good vibe here! Definitely the BEST accommodation in Arugambay! A NEW boutique style accommodation, with beautiful bright private rooms and dorm rooms. Exceptionally CLEAN, spacious, very comfortable beds, lockers and great AC. Private rooms are modern en-suite, whereas the dorm room has spacious modern westernised showers and separate toilets, which you can enter from both inside and outside the dorm room. A new open-air and spacious fully-equipped kitchen with everything such as smoothie blenders, free tea & coffee, fridge, stove etc. Up-top a perfect terrace to chill on/ have a beer, for digital no-nomad work or use this space to do some yoga, even more beautiful at night all lit up, quiet & peaceful. The property is cool, so whether hanging out here on a hot or rainy day, it’s enjoyable! Outdoor shower in the garden to rinse off after a surf. Excellent WIFI throughout, and great shower pressure with moderate water temperature. The open-aired lounge by the kitchen leads onto the garden at the entrance of the property where you can leave your bicycle/ motorbike, just as you see in the photos. The ultimate is having the surfing beach located less than a 1 minute walk from this accommodation, with all the tourist shops & restaurants around. Literally the PERFECT location! You can rent motorbikes/ bicycles from across the road, and both the neighbouring villages are less than a 5 minute cycle in either direction, surrounded by rice paddies and tons of nature & wildlife. You can cycle, ride, take a tuk-tuk or walk to surrounding beaches. Excellent hospitality! The kindest hosts/owner who are there for whatever you need 24 hrs, and the rates are beyond value for money. Come stay here at The Wave Rooms & Hostel, trust me you will be so happy you did! Thank you Rinas for such a wonderful 2 weeks stay. Can’t wait to return :)

I liked this hostel because it jas a great vibe and is close to the beach (2 min walk) It has a few private rooms and one dorm so its not the biggest, which i like. The room is only with single beds and is quite big. There is free waterrefil and the restaurant (buddies cafe) is a nice place to just have a chill or get some amazing food! The people are also very nice and will help you all they can. I stayed here 4 nights!

Great hostel with very friendly and helpful staff!

Very welcoming and nice vibe. Small cute puppies, bar In the garden and rooftop for yoga. What else do you need?

It had only just opened its doors and we were met with the warmest welcome from the manager who couldn’t do enough for us. Always went out of his way to accommodate us - sharing extra phone data with us, allowing late check - out due to work commitments, updating us to the air-con room because the fan room was under renovations but with no extra charge. We really enjoyed our stay, thank you so so much

Really chill vibes, amazing staff

The BEST hostel in arugam bay, get in early because it’s popular! The people are the nicest and kindest and most welcoming in all of Sri Lanka!

You can book surfing lessons packages and tour packages also

The best hostel in Arugam bay, very social and close to the surfing points and the beach and also walking distance from most of the good restaurants and bars. The staff are very friendly and helpful and they have lots of options for eating and drinking, specially the cheesecake that owner of the place makes is amazing:) They also give you a 1.5 liter water bottle for free which is refillable. Highly recommended!
