A well-kept secret: we offer the largest campground of any hotel, guesthouse, or retreat in Arugam Bay. Come and enjoy the shade of swaying palm trees, relax in a hammock, watch the playful monkeys and refresh yourself with fresh coconuts in our spacious garden.

All stays include breakfast à la carte, brunch buffet and our cozy family-style dinners, freshly prepared by our team and served on themed nights – from traditional Sri Lankan cuisine to a variety of Asian and Mexican flavors. Let yourself be surprised and enchanted every evening!

Meet Albert, our incredibly cuddly and affectionate camp dog who loves being close to people and soaking up all the attention he can get. Foxy, Pumba, and Simon are more laid-back and prefer to stay in the background, doing their own thing. They enjoy playing with each other in the garden or relaxing in peaceful spots and watching what’s going on around camp.
Beyond the surf, the town offers a laid-back vibe, palm-fringed beaches, and stunning sunsets over the Indian Ocean. Nature lovers can explore nearby lagoons, spot elephants, or simply unwind amidst the lush tropical surroundings. With its warm local culture and relaxed atmosphere, Arugam Bay is the perfect place to recharge, adventure, and connect with fellow travelers.

Surfing is a fantastic family holiday activity, and having kids join your surf lessons is always a lot of fun. We do have an age limit for surfing guests though – they must be at least 6 years old and accompanied by one participating adult. Children requiring their own room are charged at the adult rate.
If your flight arrives very early in the morning, please contact us in advance. We’ll do our best to arrange an early check-in or provide a comfortable space to rest until official check-in.
We will happily arrange a private driver to meet you at the airport if necessary.
We maintain a maximum instructor-to-student ratio of 1:4. Importantly, we do not mix ability levels, so you’ll always feel comfortable with your group and receive guidance tailored to your skills.
For Level 1 surfers, we typically start with soft-top boards during the first few days. Once you progress to advanced beginner level, your instructor may transition you to a hard-top board.
For Level 2 and above, we offer a range of hard-top boards to suit your ability and the current wave conditions.
