What to do and see in Arugam Bay, Eastern Province: The Best Things to do Good for Couples
Arugam Bay (Tamil: அறுகம் குடா), known locally as "Arugam Kudah", is a bay situated on the Indian Ocean in the dry zone of Sri Lanka's southeast coast, and a historic settlement of the ancient Batticaloa Territory (Mattakallappu Desam). The bay is located 117 kilometres (73 mi) south of Batticaloa, 320 kilometres (200 mi) due east of Colombo, and approximately 4 kilometres (2.5 mi) south of the market town of Pottuvil. The main settlement in the area, known locally as Ullae, is predominantly Muslim, however there is a significant Sri Lankan Tamil and Sinhala population to the south of the village, as well as a number of international migrants, largely from Europe and Australia. While traditionally fishing has dominated the local economy, tourism has grown rapidly in the area in recent years. Arugam Kudah's literal Tamil translation is "Bay of Cynodon dactylon". Tourism in Arugam Bay is dominated by surf tourism, thanks to several quality breaks in the area, however tourists are also attracted by the local beaches, lagoons, historic temples and the nearby Kumana National Park.

Yael is a fantastic yoga teacher. She gives a very thoughtful yoga class that is sympathetic to the needs of the people in the class. She also makes fabulous kombucha called Tea Chi Kombucha. After class she offers a tasting and you can buy bottles of it. Organic and made with a heritage scoby, it helped a lot with a stomach ailment my wife had when we arrived. This is definitely the best place to do yoga, meet great people and drink the best kombucha in Sri Lanka.
