The room and bed were spacious and comfortable. The kitchen is clean as well. Rinas was so helpful while I was in a stressful situation with my shuttle never arriving. He found another ride for me last minute and saved the day. 10/10 would recommend!

Situated in Arugam Bay, 100 metres from Arugam Bay Beach, Moonlight surf hostel features accommodation with a garden, free private parking and a terrace. Located around 3.6 km from Muhudu Maha Viharaya, the hostel with free WiFi is also 4.8 km away from Crocodile Rock. The accommodation offers evening entertainment and a shared kitchen. I stayed here for two weeks and had a great experience! The place is super comfortable — the air conditioning, water, and Wi-Fi all worked perfectly the whole time. Both hosts are really friendly and helpful, and made me feel welcome from the start. One of them is even a surf instructor, so you can also take surf lessons right there at a very affordable price. Definitely recommended!

Aura surf camp & Hostel is situated in Arugam Bay, within 7.2 km of Elephant Rock and 18 km of Magul Maha Viharaya. The property is set 3.8 km from Muhudu Maha Viharaya, 4.1 km from Crocodile Rock and 5.6 km from Lagoon Safari - Pottuvils. The property is non-smoking and is located 500 metres from Arugam Bay Beach. It had only just opened its doors and we were met with the warmest welcome from the manager who couldn’t do enough for us. Always went out of his way to accommodate us - sharing extra phone data with us, allowing late check - out due to work commitments, updating us to the air-con room because the fan room was under renovations but with no extra charge. We really enjoyed our stay, thank you so so much
