Relaxed atmosphere, great food and the staff are very friendly and attentative, great location right on the beach away from the busier Arugam bay but still only 15-20 minutes in on a scooter or tuk tuk. , we really enjoyed our stay, thanks 😊

From the beginning on, everything was perfect. The receptionist manager took care about us and was always around to deal with customers in case they need something. Very generous, kind person. Thank you for such a nice stay and we will definitely come back one day. 3 water bottles in room and very clean. We just wish you all good luck and continue like this!

Warmly greeted with a cold drink by the genial host Iqbal. Invited to treat the place like home including using the kitchen to make tea and coffee. Large, well furnished (amazingly with pegs and shelves!) and very comfortable room with an enormous bathroom and hot water. Fabulous variety of breakfasts throughout our 5 night stay and wide variety of restaurants nearby for lunches and dinner. Good local rates for scooter hire.

Really nice place to stay in Arugam Bay. The hotel has a nice ambient, beautiful garden. The owner and the staff are lovely and very helpful. We had good chats and they help us in any way we needed. The room was clean and nice, just like the bathroom. It has a very good value for the price. AC works fine and there is a ceiling fan as well. The beach is just the end of the street, 50 meters. There are many good places to eat nearby.

Beautiful sea views in a peaceful setting. The place feels private and is run by a lovely family who are so welcoming, kind, and accommodating - they really made us feel at home. The location is ideal if you want to be slightly away from the hustle and bustle of Arugam Bay, while still being just an easy walk into the main area. Would highly recommend!

Comfortable hut directly at the beach and in walking distance to Crocodile Rock and Elephant Rock. We were there with our tuktuk and it was only a short drive to the center. The owner was very friendly and helpful. We would stay here again.

    Salty Alchemy feels like home, beautifully decorated and positioned right on the beachfront. Julia and Loku were the most incredible hosts and their dogs were the best companions whilst having afternoon naps in the hammock with the waves crashing!

    the cabanas are right on the beach, you can wake up and walk straight into the ocean! the staff became our friends and did so much for us. the rooms are basic but have everything you need for a comfortable stay - including a variety of electrical outlets for many countries. cold water showers are a relief in the sticky, humid conditions in Arugam bay. location is ideal, on the main strip, near restaurants and shops. I came to stay 3 days and stayed 11, I’ll be back at the end of this week for an extra 3 days.

    As fresh as a daisy. The staff and service provided were top noch. Sri lankan hospitality at its finest. With attention and care given to every detail, but not in an intrusive way. All requests were met with a smile. Villa was spacious, comfortable, and clean. Most amazing was the convenience of lovely sunrise at the beach in front of Villa, sunset views and very quiet place. We will sure come back again. Thank you to oceano surf team

    Great staff and cute little beach huts! Very quiet location right on the beach. This is the perfect hide away if you want to avoid the party scene in Arugam but stay close to the surf. The owner helped us renting a tuktuk and we drove around with our surf boards on top. The food they are serving is very tasty, fresh and very cheap.
