Everything! The atmosphere, the staff, the cabana and the food. The place is just lovely and the views are breathtaking. I am definitely coming back next time I am in Sri Lanka. Wish I could have stayed longer. This was the best out of all the places I stayed during my travels around the country. They just do everything a little better than others.

Had a wonderful stay at Bay Vista. The two men working the front desk were so kind and helpful, they went out of their way to make my stay enjoyable. They helped arrange surf lessons and transportation. Room was clean and comfortable, and there is a lot of room in the restaurant/gardens area to relax. It was nice to have beach chairs right in front of the property. The yoga class on the rooftop each evening was lovely. The hotel is in a great location, about a 10 minute walk along the beach to the main point for surfing every day and it is central to restaurants and shopping. Would definitely return!

Absolutely stunning beach front hotel, pool was great with the kids, the chef was incredible - every dish was super tasty. We loved the outdoor chilling area and bean bags. Rooms were very spacious and stunning views of the ocean. And it was so close to the hustle of Arugam Bay!

Good - What previous guests thought, 270 reviews
We spent two weeks at Paper Moon and would like to share the following: LOCATION & ACCOMODATION Located directly next to Whisky Point Beach, this beautiful resort offers a very comfortable accomodation for travelers, who don’t want to stay in the center of Arugam Bay with all its bars, restaurants and busy tourist areas. Yes, there are not as many restaurant options in the area as in Arugam Bay and you may have to take a TukTuk to town if you wish to have that. The rooms are reasonably sized, comfortable, airconditioned and offer a very large bathroom. The surrounding area is peaceful and quiet. WIFI is fast and works in most areas. The pool area lies next to the beach, with enough shady spots under the palm trees to relax on one of the sunbeds. The closest surf spot is Pottuvil point, about a 15 minute walk on the beach. STAFF & SERVICE The whole staff of the resort is kind, very attentive, always friedly and available at any time. The resort team make sure that you feel well and cared for 24 hours a day. We never received a “no“ to any of our requests. Whether you need your laundry done, any extras for your room or a TukTuk-ride to Arugam Bay - Raja and his team will take care of it. HYGIENE & CLEANING The rooms were clean and well prepared upon arrival. Towels and bedsheets are changed every 5 days or upon request. Room cleaning also takes place every 5 days or upon request. Yes, you will find the occational bug or gecko in your room - you are staying in a very natural area of Sri Lanka (you may even see elephants in the area). Yes, you will encounter some crows or stray dogs in the restaurant & pool area - it is simply part of living in such an area. If you‘re looking for a luxurious 5-Star experience with daily room service and without having to lift a finger - you may want to book somewhere else. FOOD The restaurant offers good local food as well as some „western“ options.

My sister and I recently had the pleasure of staying at the aprota villas and we had an absolutely wonderful time. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with warm smiles. We booked an chalet which was well-maintained room, with a beautiful view, made us feel really comfortable. The staff went above and beyond to make our stay special, from accommodating our requests to offering helpful suggestions for things to do in the area. We enjoyed a delightful meal at the villa, where the food was not only delicious but also served with exceptional care. Overall, our stay at The Aprota villas was a memorable experience. We want to extend our heartfelt thanks to the staff for their excellent service and to the hotel for providing a perfect setting for our getaway. We look forward to returning in the future.

I initially booked for 2 nights and then ended up staying for a week. Hassan was a fantastic host and was able to help with travel arrangements and plans. My room was comfortable and had a view of the beach from my balcony (the beach was about 15m away as the hotel is right on the beach). It's located far enough away from the point and busy end of town that it's nice and quiet at night but only about 15 minutes walk down the beach or main road to all busier bars. I would happily come back and stay here again for an extended stay. Compared with other places I stayed in Arugam Bay my room here was larger and to a much higher standard.

We had an excellent stay here. The rooms are simple and comfy and the breakfasts here are sensational. Uncle will tailor them to your desires and give you a fresh fruit juice every single day. He even packed idlis for us for a special breakfast coz we were leaving for the airport super early. Great location, just across the road from the beach but not in the centre of town where it can get a bit loud. Great value for money and a sense of home, can’t wait to go back to A bay and stay there 💛

You are more likely to meet a European than a local here.

You are more likely to meet a European than a local here. This is definately not a reflection on Sri Lankan culture, however the beach town is slow and quiet (realtively speaking) and there are plenty of shops and restaurants. And of coure, the surf is consistent and the water warm. It's a winner for a beach holiday.

The best feature of Arugam Bay is the surrounding jungle, lakes and lagoons. The main beach is very busy but other beaches, such as Peanut Farm are less crowded, Do thye Lagoon Safari and a park safari but also try surfing and relaxing on the beach.
