We visited Arugam Bay and stayed at Ranga’s Beach Hut for few days. I loved the stay, food and the atmosphere at Beach Hut. Arugam Bay is an amazing place, the beach to the limit our eye can find scenery. Since we went there closer to the end of the season not crowded as well. We visited Kumana Bird Sanctuary... More

We visited Arugam bay Beach in October 08 - 10th and had a fantastic time. There is so much to do there from the gorgeous white sand beach itself to restaurants on the beach and close by.

This is simply the most private accommodation to stay in the area, with 4 double bedrooms plus a great outdoor deck that can sleep upto 6 more!... More

We enjoyed staying at the Hideaway in Arugam Bay. Sharon is a gracious host and her hotel delivers on it's promise of comfortable rooms, good service and fine food. We wouldn't have stayed anywhere else. Also, don't miss out on the beaches south of Panama. You can expect to be the only one there - other than, maybe, an underemployed... More

Of my four-week round travel in Sri Lanka with my two young children, this place - it's beautiful aesthetics, loving attention to detail, superior food and incredibly kind and helpful owner Sharon and her staff; all culminating in creating the most...

We stayed in 12 different accommodations during our 4 weeks trip through Sri Lanka. Hide Away is absolutely in our top 2. Why? Well located, quiet and close to everything important in Arugam bay. Spacious room, even for us travelling with with 2 young children and staying all in 1 room. Probably the best bathrooms in Sri Lanka; spacious, the... More
