De Perla Resort ★★★

📍 WR4R+MRH, Ampara

"Myself and my partner had the best stay at De Pearla resort. Farah the host was the best. He cooked us the most amazing meals, helped us with anything we needed assistance with and made our trip so special. He even showed us how to cook biriyani! My girlfriend became ill with a fever on one of the days and Farah went above and beyond to make sure that we were all ok and looked after. It really felt like we became part of the family. His son was also very helpful and kind to us. De Perla is a tranquil slice of Paradise that felt like a home away from home. It was always so amazing to come back to after a long day surfing and the craziness of Arugam Bay. We hope that we come back here again one day. Thank you Farah. We hope we meet again!"

📍 Kottukal Beach Road, Pottuvil

Aprota Villas ★★★★★

📍 Sedo Vadakku Veethy, Urani, Pottuvil, Ampara

"Pretty boutique hotel in east coast. We've stayed 2 nights in the Garden Bungalow with plunge pool, rooms are nice and chill. The hotel situated in a village facing the ocean, where the surroundings are very rural and quite. Feb is not a busy season there, no disturb at all, and get the chance for stargaze in the night. 20min drive to Arugambay Town, as we go for self drive so no probs at all. Food is fairly ok since we only had breakfast. Did our Kumana National Park Safari during our stay. Didn't spend much time for beach though."

Paper Moon Kudils ★★★

📍 25, Kanagar Village, Urani, Ampara

"We looked forward to staying at Paper Moon. Our driver followed a sign to this hotel but travelling further saw a sign with 2 arrows pointing in opposite directions. Finally get to a gate with the Paper Moon board but no signs to reception. We called the contact number and were told we had to keep going down the driveway. Quite a few guys came running out and then disappeared. Nobody actually welcomed us and told us where we had to go. We eventually came to an open cafe area and quite a few guys just stood around not actually saying anything. No reception as such but the guy at the bar told us we were in the right place. We were given a welcome drink and they took our passports for check in but still didn’t tell us we had checked in. The rooms are individual units. Very simple but ok. The door doesn’t quite reach the ground which left me a bit nervous about creepy crawlies. The bathroom is huge but basic. No toiletries provided apart from a tiny cake of soap. The staff were mostly very friendly and helpful and provided whatever food we asked for but having all male staff just hanging around all the time was quite intimidating. Staff should probably also not hover around the tables as often and leave guests to enjoy their meals. The place is also the local bar so locals are constantly at the bar window for their alcohol. That also left us feeling a bit unsafe as there was a drunken fight one night. There’s nothing around this hotel so it would have to be on a full board basis. Luckily we had a car and driver and were able to check out local cafes. The place was clean. Probably not ideal for solo or young ladies travelling alone."

20 House Arugam ★★

📍 20 20 house road, Pottuvil

"⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing Stay at 20 House Arugam I stayed at 20 House Arugam for 12 days during my business trip to Arugam Bay. As a tour operator, guide, and travel agent, I travel frequently and have stayed in many different places, but this was truly a wonderful experience. The guest house is in a lovely and peaceful setting, and the staff were extremely friendly, welcoming, and helpful throughout my stay. The owner is a very kind and genuine person who went out of their way to make sure I was comfortable and had everything I needed. I really appreciated the warm hospitality and personal attention. It felt more like staying with good friends than staying at a guest house. I highly recommend 20 House Arugam to anyone visiting Arugam Bay, whether for business or leisure. I would definitely be happy to stay here again on my next visit. Thank you to the whole team at 20 House Arugam for making my 12-day stay so enjoyable! ❤️🌴"

Blue Waters ★★★★

📍 Blue Waters, Kottukal Beach Road, P-20, Pottuvil Point, Pottuvil

"Absolutely stunning, private, peaceful and relaxing. Our whole stay at Blue Water was perfect, the cabanas are cute, clean and spacious for couples. We couldn’t fault anything. We stayed for my 40th birthday and the team decorated our room, what a lovely surprise on entry. Although there is no air conditioning, the fans in the room are sufficient and the cabanas are designed well with openings for a breeze. Rinos is amazing, he was so attentive and looked after all of our needs. He’s really friendly, a pleasure to meet and an excellent chef. Sudha and Dinosan are both phenomenal, they make sure the whole area around the cabanas are pristine, they take so much pride and leave patterns in the sand for guests. There is a good variety of food, the fresh juices are so tasty. We had breakfast and dinner most days and Rinos catered for our tastes. The beach is private and only a few steps away, most days we were the only ones there, it is paradise. At night we fell asleep to the sound of the waves. Thank you Blue Water you made our stay unforgettable."

Oruwa Boutique Villas
5.5 (2 reviews)

Oruwa Boutique Villas ★★★

📍 Main Street Arugambay, Sarvodaya, Pottuvil-18, Ampara

"Unfortunately, our stay was quite disappointing. When we arrived, there was no one at the reception, and we had to call the hotel to begin the check-in process. A few staff members arrived later, but the initial lack of assistance left a poor first impression. The Wi-Fi was extremely poor and barely connected throughout our stay. The restaurant was completely closed, so we had to go outside the property whenever we wanted food. There were also no clear instructions about the hotel's policies or amenities. Because of this, we were unexpectedly charged for water bottles we requested to our room, even though the hotel provides 1 liter of complimentary water per room per day. Better communication would have avoided this confusion. The biggest disappointment was the swimming pool. It was dirty, had a strong unpleasant smell, with visible algae and mosquitoes around it. After getting into the pool, I developed a skin rash, which was very concerning. The property itself has a lot of potential and looks beautiful, but it is clearly not being maintained well. With better maintenance, clearer communication, and improved guest services, it could offer a much better experience."

Wild Edge Panama - Kumana Safari Lodge ★★

📍 ABESINGAPURA, PANAMA NORTH, Ampara

"Friendly welcome with refreshing wood apple drink. Extremely courteous, friendly and efficient staff; most obliging and trustworthy. We didn’t lock anything when we went out. The authentic Sri Lankan meals cooked with local ingredients by two local ladies were delicious. The staff made sure that our needs on demand were met. The staff under Madhushanka operated without the owner or the manager in the premises. It was an excellent stay."

Jetwing Kottukal Beach House ★★★★
"Although it is just outside Arugam Bay, this is a little piece of paradise. The staff are incredibly friendly, the food delicious and the chef allows flexibility of choice. Although there is a pool, the ocean is a stonethrow away and the swimming, body boarding and surfing was amazing. The rooms were beautiful with a lovely outside shower. To get to Arugam Bay is a short tuk-tuk away and the hotel arranges and we had a father and son (Laferr and James) who not only took us but gave their what's app details so we felt confident and safe for all the journeys, at any time, and a known fixed price. The reason this a 4 * not a 5* was that certain expectations (room cleaned, bottled water provided daily) had to be requested and, unfortunately, following a local power cut, the internet was down and the pool generator failed, but these were fixed within 48hours."

Paper Moon Kudils ★★★
"I stayed 3 nights at Paper Moon Kudils, and it was a wonderful beach escape. The cabanas are clean, cozy, and just a few steps from Whisky Point Beach perfect for sunrise views and relaxing vibes. The staff were very friendly and helped arrange a boat safari at Pottuvil Lagoon, which was an unforgettable experience with crocodiles, elephants, and beautiful birds. The food was fresh and tasty, especially the seafood, and the pool facing the ocean was a great place to unwind. A perfect spot for anyone who loves peace, nature, and simplicity. Highly recommended! 🌴✨"

20 House Arugam ★★
"We had originally planned to stay for a week, but it quickly turned into over three weeks. Banu and her husband made us feel so welcome with their exceptional hospitality that we immediately felt at home. Their warmth and helpfulness made our stay an unforgettable experience. Another advantage of the 20 House is the location: away from the tourist crowds, but everything important is within easy reach. The value for money is unbeatable and rounds off the package perfectly."

Blue Waters ★★★★
"Had a great and very relaxing week here. The cabanas are comfortable and stylish, all with great sea views. The beach is stunning and empty. Niaz and his team were very attentive and did everything to make us feel welcome. The grounds are constantly maintained and kept immaculate. The small restaurant served up great food, and always with a smile. Special mention to Rinos the chef and Bari here for their good service and friendly manner, the same goes for the rest of the staff. This is a place to come and relax, away from the hustle and bustle of Arugam Bay. Highly recommended. "

Wild Edge Panama - Kumana Safari Lodge ★★
"First time at Wild Edge with friends from Canada. Set truly at the edge of Sri Lanka – southernmost inhabited place along the eastern coast of Sri Lanka and behind wide sand dunes, it is truly an oasis. A no frills place with comfortable, immaculately kept rooms. Simple but great tasting cuisine. Run by Samitha and Dilakshi Harishchandra as a family-owned small resort. Samitha is a gifted wildlife researcher and photographer who on request conducts safaris in adjacent Kumana National Park, the most diverse of Sri Lanka’s national parks both in terms of fauna and flora and landscape. It is also the home of Nittaewo, Sri Lanka/s own hobbits, according to folklore and mythology. Wild Edge is truly for those who want a place of peace and tranquillity while at the same time enjoy pristine nature of the surroundings."
