Kid-friendly vacation rentals in Arugam Bay

We had a fantastic time staying at Jasmine house. As we work online, having SLT fibre was perfect, we would definitely recommend this place for digital nomads. The space was private with a lovely front outdoor area/patio where you can relax and admire the langurs, roosters and many adorable cat visitors. Inside the home was perfect and cosy but spacious at the same time, the furniture was quite new and it was thoughtfully set up for storage. Had good aircon and ceiling fans so we would rarely need to use the aircon. Walkable to multiple beaches and the main strip of restaurants and bars, but tucked away in a quiet, quaint local street which was ideal for us. We fell in love with the cats! If in Abay again, we would definitely be staying here.

i had very enjoyable stay at tharanga's home, it's just few meters away to walk to the best surfing beach Arugambay also to main Street. i had good local experience here, it has very amazing view surrounding by coconut trees,also very clean and quiet place. The host is very kindful person, communicate with him was very easy to me, he gave me good support to do my volunteering works,i took lots of amazing pictures there. also he have me the chance to tast natura local coconut drink. Highly recommend this place to people who would like to stay at peaceful place near the beautiful Arugambay beach. unfortunately i stay here for only one day with my busy schedule,i would like spent more time here, surely i'll come again with my buddies.

We can only recommend staying in this Villa. It is very quiet, but still close to the main street with all the restaurants and surf shops and has three private rooms, a basic kitchen and living area. The communication with the host was easy and his father was close by to help with any issues. The only negative aspect was that our room wasn't cleaned propperly. Probably that was because we were there at the beginning of the season and it had been empty for a longer time. The rest of the villa was clean.

The host was very friendly and an early check-in was possible. The room was well-equipped and clean The location was good as well, but it was a bit noisy at night as there was a party somewhere nearby.

The Sayura Beach House was built between the river and the beach at the end of a small side road. On the ground floor there is one large bedroom with four beds, AC and attached bathroom. On the top floor there is one bedroom with a double bed and AC and an open balcony type area with four beds (with mosquito nets). These two rooms share a bathroom (toilet and sink) and a separate room with a shower. There is a third bedroom on the top floor with three beds (no AC) and attached bathroom. Bed sheets, blankets, soap and towels are provided. On the ground floor there is large open dining area with a big table to have the meals. Everything was clean. There is no WiFi and the showers have no hot water. The staff cooked us delicious meals with the groceries we provided. They were very helpful and attentive, also making us fresh tea whenever we asked for it. It's completely quiet there (no traffic). The beach is very close, one block away, you can see it from the top floor. There are beautiful sunrises over the sea and the sunset is also very scenic. The beach is clean and very long - perfect for a walk and maybe collect some shells. As we went in the offseason we could not swim but there were no other people at the beach - we had it all for ourselves. In the morning the fishermen pull in a huge net for catching fish, which is interesting to watch. We were a group of 13 people, including 5 kids, and all of us enjoyed our 3 days at the Sayura Beach House very much. Definitely a place worthwhile to visit again.

Everything was Perfect

I had an amazing time at Bliss Yoga Cottage in Whiskey Point. The place is calm, peaceful, and surrounded by nature—perfect for unwinding. The beach is just a short walk away, making it easy to catch the sunrise or enjoy a nap on the beach. The cottage itself was absolutely beautiful—spotlessly clean, thoughtfully designed, and very well equipped with everything you might need. There’s a lovely garden full of greenery and a beautiful yoga patio that made my mornings extra special. You can really feel the love and attention to detail that went into creating this space. The host (Beth) was outstanding—truly a Super Host! And the house manager was incredibly helpful, kind, and always available if I needed anything. Everything was well-organized and made me feel completely at home. Highly recommend this place if you’re looking for a peaceful, beautifully maintained retreat near the beach in Sri Lanka!

We had an amazing stay at this Arugam Bay Airbnb! The space was incredibly spacious, with balconies galore, offering stunning views. The interior design was both beautiful and functional, making our stay truly comfortable. The kitchen was a lifesaver for our midnight cravings, and the pedestal fans were a thoughtful touch that made a big difference. But what really made our stay special was Adam's exceptional hospitality. He ensured our comfort, from taking care of the house to kindly accompanying me to Eid prayers and even lending me his serong. Adam's thoughtfulness and helpfulness made our stay truly unforgettable. We highly recommend this Airbnb for its spaciousness, functionality, and exceptional hosting. Thank you, Adam!
