Dreamy Hostel Arugambay features a garden, private beach area, a shared lounge and terrace in Arugam Bay. Featuring a tour desk, this property also provides guests with a water park. The accommodation provides a 24-hour front desk, airport transfers, room service and free WiFi throughout the property. I want to share a summary of my stay at Dreamy Hostel. I spent three nights and four days there. The place is beautiful, clean, and the staff are always ready to help. It’s located in what feels like a tropical paradise. Unfortunately, I was very sick for two days during my stay — but I honestly felt like I was being cared for at home. They brought me food, water, and medicine right to my bed. One of the staff members, Nifras, truly stands out. He provides personal service with a smile, works incredibly hard to make sure you feel special, and genuinely cares about your comfort and wellbeing. Looking forward to coming back next year!

The accommodation offers a 24-hour front desk, airport transfers, luggage storage space and free WiFi throughout the property. wow! the wave loom hostel was one of the most cosy, familiar hostels i've ever stayed in. i only intended to stay for 2 days, but ended up staying for 6 - too good to leave. hansi, adam & co. were soooo caring and loving to create the best possible stay for all their guests. they know all their guests by name, help plan all activities and transport options, have the best surf instructor at the start - and on top of that they so lovingly provided me with medicine and tea when I felt sick. the rooms are super clean, cleaned every day, the bathroom is simple but clean (a little tip: a shelf to put your clothes and toiletry bag on while showering would be a gamechanger, hehe) there is air conditioning and a chilled common area - a great place to meet people from all over the world! the location is also great... so close to the beach and all the cute cafes, bars, boutiques and restaurants. great vibe!!! i would definitely come back! THANK YOU SO MUCH ❤️

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
