The guest house specialises in a continental and Full English/Irish breakfast and breakfast in the room is also available. At Bay Dreams Beach Hotel & Surf Camp, the family-friendly restaurant is open for dinner, lunch and cocktails and serves Asian cuisine. Wonderful property and host! Iqbal and his staff were so warm and welcoming! They went above and beyond making sure I felt comfortable and enjoyed my stay! I was welcomed with delicious pineapple juice and a pastry. I ended extending my stay because it was such a warm and cozy place to spend a few days at the beach. Beach access is a few meters away. Iqbal also arranged surf lessons to peanut farm and I couldn’t recommend them enough! Best surf coach I’ve ever had! The room was very clean and spacious with hangers for wet clothes and storage. The hammocks outside each room are a very nice touch and relaxing. Each morning, the breakfast was very good and tasty! Lots of fresh fruit! Whatever you need, Iqbal and his team will take care of. Had a lot of nice chats with Iqbal. He will be missed! Wish I could stay for longer. Will definitely be back to this cozy piece of paradise.

Charitha Rest provides an open-air bath, as well as air-conditioned accommodation in Ampara. There is a private entrance at the guest house for the convenience of those who stay. There is a picnic area and guests can make use of free WiFi, free private parking and an electric vehicle charging station. Lovely local guesthouse that was well maintained and comfortable. I especially liked that they had net curtains and a mosquito net over the bed so you could sleep with the windows open and the fan on, fresh air is the best! Such a charming town, with all the necessities close by.

The unit has soundproofing and a walk-in shower. The guest house offers bed linen, towels and housekeeping service.

The guest house serves a continental and Full English/Irish breakfast and breakfast in the room is also available. There is a coffee shop, and packed lunches are also available. Aqua Blue is right next to the beach, like 50 m away, and in a more quiet location. If you go to the main street, you can sometimes see the 'local' elephant in the marsh nearby. The place is clean, has AC and everything you need, even a hammock to chill in. Basheer is always there to help you with pretty much everything you need. The breakfast is very good and the cappuccino, one of the best in Sri Lanka. I totally recommend Aqua Blue!

Set in Arugam Bay, within a few steps of Arugam Bay Beach and 2.9 km of Muhudu Maha Viharaya, H&M Resort Arugambay offers accommodation with a garden and free WiFi as well as free private parking for guests who drive. The property is around 4.6 km from Lagoon Safari - Pottuvils, 5.7 km from Crocodile Rock and 8.8 km from Elephant Rock. The accommodation features room service and a 24-hour front desk for guests.

Magul Maha Viharaya is 17 km from the inn, while Kudumbigala Monastery is 26 km away. Batticaloa International Airport is 116 km from the property. 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!

Accessible via private entrance, all units have air conditioning, soundproofing, desk and a private bathroom with a shower.

For guests with children, the guest house offers a baby safety gate. Both a bicycle rental service and a car rental service are available at Baywatch Arugambay. I stayed here for 1 night because the place I initially wanted to go was fully booked. I enjoyed my stay at Baywatch so much that I came back here! The people are really friendly and helpful. I was welcomed with a delicious welcome drink and they also serve a nice juice and omelette for breakfast. The room is simple but offers everything I need. The shower is really good (note that it’s cold, but I think in Arugam bay all showers are cold since that’s all you want with all the heat outside). They have a mosquito net and some rooms with AC and some with fan. Every room has a cute little terrace with seats overlooking the main garden area. Location is also perfect, close to the main street and the beach. Overall perfect stay!
