Swiss Bay Hotel & Resort-Arugambay

Hotel in Pottuvil

Swiss Bay is perfectly located right at the start of Arugam Bay’s main street. From the balcony, you can spot the elephant viewpoint where an elephant usually visits in the mornings and evenings. The beach is just a quick 2–3 minute walk across the road, making the location absolutely ideal. We stayed in the corner room with an L-shaped balcony, and it was just amazing. The room was spacious, comfortable, and equipped with all the facilities you’d expect from a top-notch stay. Even the bathroom stood out — we genuinely loved it. Everything matched the pictures and description perfectly, so you get exactly what’s promised. The caretaker and the owner were both incredibly warm and helpful, making us feel at home right away. They even allowed us a late checkout since our shuttle was leaving at 1 pm, which we really appreciated. On our last day, they treated us to a banana shake that was absolutely delicious — such a sweet gesture. If you’re considering booking this place, don’t hesitate — go for it! We’re already certain we’ll be staying here again.

To sum it up we probably had the best time ever at Monsoon Eco Resort. Vishy and Seneth are the loveliest and most caring hosts you can think of. Together with their staff they made this a truly unique and unforgettable experience. You come as a guest and leave as a friend! The place itself is an oasis in the middle of nature with lots of small details everywhere and very close to Pottuvil Surf Point. Another thing to point out is the delicious food which is always prepared fresh and with local ingredients.

Since it was far from the city and you were next to the beach, we walked to Whiskey Point to surf. The place is to go to rest for two days away from the noise of Arugam Bay. I love the place and the gay work there.

Jazz and his family are great hosts, their hospitality is unmatched. One evening, Jazz invited all guests to a free dinner at the homestay with typical Sri Lankan food, deliciously cooked by his wife. Afterwards, we played cards and had a good time together. Whatever we asked for- he could help: He arranged surf lessons, a safari through Kumana national park, laundry service, taxi, and even had great recommendations for restaurants close by. We can highly recommend the Tropicana homestay to everyone who wants to have a good time in Arugambay and connect with local and international people. Rooms were also clean and comfortable.

It's a small resort situated right on the beach. With very few guests, there’s ample space for solitude. You can fully unwind, being close to nature, with everything designed to help you feel grounded. The couple who own the place go above and beyond to ensure you have the best possible stay.

    The location is 10 min walking from the beach and 20 min from pottovil surfing. Location is quiet, yet close enough to the beach and surfing point. The garden of the property is beautiful with a nice seating area for breakfast and dinner.
