Secret Paradise is a beautiful wooden cabin surrounded by nature right by the sea. Malika and her family make sure everything is perfect – from cleanliness and service to excellent local cuisine. It’s a very peaceful place to relax, yet close to more touristy areas like Arugam Bay (about 20 minutes by tuk-tuk). We’ll come back as soon as we can, it was amazing!!!

Nilana beach cabana

Hotel in Panama

Located in Panama, a few steps from Peanut Farm Beach, Nilana beach cabana provides accommodation with a garden, free private parking, a private beach area and a terrace.

The cabanas are super unique and right on the beach. Waking up to the sound of the ocean and a tasty breakfast is amazing. Just a short walk down the beach there’s a surf spot with restaurants and board rentals. It’s the perfect place if you’re looking for something a bit different and really special. Would definitely recommend! There’s a bus going to Panama from Arugam Bay and the owner of the property helped me to get a tuktuk taxi to the Cabana, so it was no problem that I don’t have a vehicle.

In our trip of 2 months in Sri Lanka and despite 5 days of straight rain, this was our favourite stay. The road to Panama was a safari in itself, with a 2.5 meter monitor lizard, crocodile ponds, scores of gray langurs and stunning views. We visited outside the tourist season so we were the only tourists in the village, which sports some lovely beaches, a lake with many crocodiles, charming rice fields and lagoons, friendly locals, affordable local restaurants and good access to the Kumana national park. The room is charming and clean and had everything we needed. What made the stay so special though was the wonderful family who manage it and the owner is a Doctor and he is very kind and helpful. Their hospitality is genuine and our walks in the neighbourhood and evening talks thought us so much. It is people who live from their heart like them that form the true treasure of Sri Lanka. This is the nearest hotel to the Kumana National Park, and they arrange the Safari for the lowest rate in Panama/Kumana/Arugambay city. You can experience the night safari also.

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.

A hidden gem! My husband and me loved this place. The host is very welcoming and will help with anything. We've been there for a whole month and couldn't ask for more: fully equipped kitchen, sleeping room with air con, an own backyard with lots of palm trees, beautiful sunrises and a big deck upstairs. The house is actually at the beach, so you can watch the ocean anytime. Highly recommend if you are looking for a quiet and peaceful place.

Absolutely incredible stay! We only stayed at the Rilu Relxa Villa in Arugam Bay for one night, but it was enough to completely fall in love with the place. Everything was perfect: from the beautiful setting to the peaceful vibe there. The villa was spotless, comfortable, and had everything we needed. Also the outdoor space was ideal for relaxing. Even though our stay was short, we are already planning to come back. This place is a true gem. highly recommended for anyone visiting Arugam Bay. We can’t wait to return for a longer stay! 😊

The Homestay is in the middle of nature but only 20 min Away from Arugam bay 🌿🦎 The Family who lives there is super lovely, the Host even showed us around the area and we saw Leopard and crocodile prints, we learned a lot from him that day. And of course the view from the huts is really beautiful. The Elephants you can See from the balcony and the Stars at Night truely makes staying here a once in lifetime experience. 10/10 would very much recommend 💕☺️

    This is my favourite place to stay in Arugam Bay! The accommodation is beautiful, and the staff are incredibly kind. They made our stay the best in Sri Lanka so far! The rooms were spotless, and the bed was very comfortable. Breakfast was delicious, and all the guys who run this place are amazing! You can enjoy and relax in the stunning natural surroundings here. They have very experienced wildlife guides who provided us with an unforgettable safari. Surfing is also an option here. Have fun, surf lovers!
