The building itself was gorgeous and provided both shade and some nice spots to lounge in the sun. They were also very chill with me sticking around on checkout day which was much appreciated. Would absolutely return and stay for longer if I were to return.

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

It’s so close to the beach and the dorm was really nice- all the beds have curtains and the mattress is super comfy. The hosts are really friendly & welcoming and taught everyone some local games! Also, the breakfast was some of the BEST food I’ve eaten in Sri Lanka!!
