Guest Reviews:

- "Beautiful family run hotel outside the busyness of the town. The family run hotel have super friendly staff, the food is good and reasonably priced and it was such a haven of relaxation to sit by the pool in the day. People tend to stay for slightly longer periods of time so there's a really nice community feel that doesn't feel overcrowded at all" - "Highly recommended! A family of five. We had the most wonderful time at Stay Golden. Angie and Rihan, the charming couple who owns the place, have created a small microcosmos with everything we needed. Other than going out to surf, we barely left the complex. Rihan gave the kids surfing lessons and pointed the more experienced surfers of our bunch to the right surfing spots. Thank you!"

I know that sounds so annoying to say but it really is so comfortable and cozy. The Rooms: HUGE - way bigger than we were expecting and the beds were very comfortable. Breakfast: DELICIOUS - traditional Sri Lankan breakfast + more. Seriously above and beyond Shower: Outdoor shower is fab Location: 5 minute walk to the beach.

Guest Reviews:

- "A Delightful Stay at Oruwa Villa Arugambay I recently had the pleasure of staying at Oruwa Villa in Arugambay, and it was nothing short of a fantastic experience. The hotel not only boasts a beautiful and well-maintained ambiance but also offers some remarkable features that made my stay truly memorable. The highlight of Oruwa Villa has to be its stunning lagoon view, complemented by an infinity pool that adds a touch of luxury to the entire experience. Waking up to such a picturesque sight was a treat for the eyes and set the tone for a relaxing and enjoyable stay. One of the things that I appreciated most was the thoughtful design of the restaurant, strategically positioned to face the lagoon. Dining with a view made every meal a delightful experience, and the ambiance added an extra layer of enjoyment to the already delicious food. The hospitality and service at Oruwa Villa are second to none. A special mention and heartfelt thanks to Fairos uncle, whose attentive and friendly demeanor contributed significantly to the overall positive atmosphere. His dedication to ensuring the guests' comfort did not go unnoticed, and it truly made a difference in my stay. Speaking of the food, the on-site restaurant did not disappoint. The Sri Lankan rice and curry menu comes highly recommended and for good reason. The flavors were authentic and mouthwatering, thanks to the culinary skills of Chef Sahan. I found myself looking forward to each meal, eager to savor the delightful dishes prepared by him. I also want to extend my gratitude to the owner, Ishak, for his flexibility and commitment to ensuring a pleasant stay for guests. His personal touch and involvement in the management of the hotel add an extra layer of warmth to the overall experience. In conclusion, I can highly recommend Oruwa Villa Arugambay. Whether you're seeking a peaceful retreat or a luxurious getaway, this hotel ticks all the boxes."

- "Our stay at Lucky Bay has been the best experience we've had on our holiday. The room is very comfortable, and has a lovely terrace which is perfect to relax in after a long day out. The location could not be better, it is a literal 10 second walk to the beach and is ideally located to all necessary amenities, e.g. restaurants , bars, supermarkets, ATMs, etc. Our experience would not have been possible without Lucky Bay's extremely kind and tireless host, Mohammed, who is attentive to his guests' every needs. Mohammed organised our travel to Arugam Bay, and to the airport, he also arranged for our surf lessons, and the excursions we were interested in. Mohammed does not overcharge or take a commission on any of these services, he simply provides you the best price and best person for the job. We surfed with the best surf school in Arugam Bay, and he was even kind enough to assist with getting a special massage for my partner's sprained ankle. Finally, we cannot forget the complimentary delicious treats Mohammed delivers everyday, which are freshly baked by his kind mother. Lucky Bay is really the only option to choose when deciding where to stay in Arugam Bay!"
