Jetwing Surf

Sri Lanka’s first eco luxury surf resort, Jetwing Surf is laden on an unspoilt stretch of beach in Pottuvil Point with magnificent waves gushing onto shore. Only a few minutes away from the surfer’s paradise Arugam Bay, this property is inclusive of 20 beach cabanas that will have comfortable amenities inspired by a unique style of architecture with structures made using wood, woven coconut palm leaves and reeds. To heighten the experience by the beach the design elements take the form of a horn shell allowing guests to wander freely and fully submerge in the tropical environs.

Surf & Yoga, Arugam Bay

Now is the time to take the step from land to water… From the tropical paradise we like to call home, Surf and yoga Arugam bay invites you to release and disconnect from your daily routine. Here you will find lush palm trees, fresh coconuts, and dreamy waves just a step away from your room. We are located in the town of Arugam Bay, on the East coast of Sri Lanka. Palm trees, wild elephants, and the fine sand form a stunning crescent beach, it truly is the perfect getaway for everyone. Some of the main Eastern surf spots are just steps away from the camp, a real treat for ocean lovers big or small! We also propose Yoga lessons amongst the neem leaves on our rooftop. We offer you a soul-enriching experience throughout your stay, where you can discover and grow on both the inside and outside.

Paradise, already booking my next trip back!

I was nervous travelling as a solo traveller for the first time but the team at Surf and Yoga immediately made me feel like I was part of the family, at my home away from home. The camp is situated on beautiful open grounds with vast views where the nature is right on your doorstep. I personally loved the monkeys! My days always began with the most delicious and nutritious breakfast made by Madu. I am a notoriously fussy eater but the team were so kind and accommodated all of my dietary requirements no questions asked, this went for dinner too which was equally as varied and scrumptious after a packed day. I filled my time with surfing, learning the basics from the coaches really helped me improve my technique and im already itching to get back in the sea! I loved coming back and unwinding with some yoga. All in all I had the most unforgettable experience at surf and yoga Arugam bay, I've made friends I will never forget, learnt new skills and most importantly made memories to last a lifetime!

We had the most amazing stay at Bay Vista, the pictures don’t do the hotel justice!!

Reviewed By lovisan86

We had the most amazing stay at Bay Vista, the pictures don’t do the hotel justice. We booked a room with a sea view for our two-night stay which was definitely worth it. The staff were so lovely and welcoming. The atmosphere in the evening was amazing! We had spoken with the waiter earlier in the day and found out that they had caught a fresh Snapa which we order for the evening. On the second day we did Yoga on the terrace with Kelly which we couldn’t recommend more. We loved our Vin Yoga with Kelly, it isn’t often you get to do yoga in the sunset, listening to the waves. We can’t wait to come back to Arugam Bay and visit Bay Vista again.

Oasis of Feel Good Atmosphere

Reviewed By Julian W

During our three weeks Sri Lanka trip, this was definitely our favorite accomodation. Nice room, great facility, yummy food, very friendly managers and staff. After doing a bunch of National Parks and other typical Sri Lankan tourist things, we enyoyed every second in this oasis of calmness, tidiness and feel good atmosphere.

Nice Bungalow

Reviewed By 1LifeStand

We stayed 2 nights at Kottukal Beach House By Jetwing. The room was well appointed and very comfortable. Lovely balcony and common areas. The pool was well maintained, and staff polite and attentive. Walked along the beach in the company of the two resident dogs (Dan and Birdy!). It would be lovely if the hotel could keep the beach clean, although the trash washes up from elsewhere. Or if they can ensure the local authority does their job in maintaining a clean beach. We went for dinner to Jetwind Surf, where the food, service and ambience was out standing! Had a good time. Thank you.

Little personal paradise

Reviewed By I_am_gata

We were 3 adults and 2 kids (3 and 5) and booked 2 cabanas. We purposely selected a hotel away from the town and it was the best decision. It’s just paradise there. Wooden cabanas with a little terrace in front of them and the whole beach to ourselves. Not a single soul most of the time. The water is a little too rough for swimming but a quick deep or a long walk is an absolute must. Rooms have a safe, towels, little fridge and fan. There is a little cafe within the hotel too where you can have a quick bite or a drink. Tuk Tuk drive to the town takes about 15 min and there you can find plenty of restaurants. Keep in mind not all of them survived Covid (sad) so aim for the ones that have this year reviews.

Amazing luxury hotel by the ocean

The team in Aprota Villas was very committed and service oriented. They made it possible for us to check in just before midnight as we had to change our accommodation on short notice. Other comparable hotels in the area were not so flexible and helpful. The location is beautiful, directly at the beach. Especially the pool area is awesome and has beach views. Thank you Aprota team for the nice stay with you!

The Bay

Great hotel and lovely staff

Reviewed By lex l

I stayed here for 8 night. It was originally for 4 nights but I loved the area and hotel so much I extended my stay. Sean the owner is awesome, so friendly and helpful. When I first arrived the hotel was fully booked with a large party, apart from one room, which I was told didn't have a balcony. Sean explained that the party were checking out in a few days and he said I could choose any room I wanted after that. He was true to his word and put me in a room that had the best view in the hotel. (Awesome for sunrise) The staff are so lovely and friendly, and although they may not fully understand everything you are saying, they will find someone who does and will do everything they can to help. Rooms are clean and bright and the buffet breakfast has plenty to choose from. The restaurant area and chilling area is just beautiful placed, where you have a stunning view of the beach and sea. Loved having my breakfast every morning looking out onto this. Great place for sunbathing too, where you can be served anything from their menu. I highly recommend this hotel, it's an absolute bargain for what you get and the people are just so wonderful. Thanks Sean and staff for an awesome stay. I'll definitely return one day ?

friendliest hotel in Abay! 10/10

Reviewed By 386milas

Arnes Place is the most welcoming and of course friendliest accommodation you will find along the coast of Arugambay. The location of Arnes Place is perfect! you are right at the beginning of the main road which has a lot of cute cafés and nice shops to offer. You are also right at the beach and are able to either enjoy a quite beach or the little bit busier part of the beach (5min walk each). The Rooms at Arnes Place are perfectly clean and very nice. Mubarak and his brothers are very welcoming people and will help you if you need anything! They got all the local Knowledge one wants to know and each one of the brother’s you will get to know has its specialties which you will love :) This accommodation is also perfect for everyone going to abay because of surfing.
