East Surf Cabana

A lovely guesthouse, away from the main strip but still walkable to everything you need. The host and staff were so nice. The grounds were beautiful and well kept. The breakfast was delicious and there were many options to choose from.

What is there not to like? No.1 favorite in Sri Lanka for us. The cabanas are really spacious and clean. Hot showers and a bed I felt bad leaving. There is a breeze going through this place, wholesome and comforting. Where nature meets you in the kindest way. We loved the passion Sudu and Rafaela put in this little gem tucked away on a quiet road but still in walkable distance to the beach. It was off season when we were there. I can imagine it being buzzing with people and we might have to come back for that. Oh and the best breakfast I've had probably ever.

We should've stayed longer, just book it already.

Owners and staff were so friendly and helpful. Great location in a quieter spot but still an easy walk to the surf, bars and restaurants

Nothing

We loved the hospitality of Raf, Sudu, Jada (their 10 yo daughter) and the staff. They took time to get to know us and built a positive rapport immediately. The accommodations were very comfortable and there was a lot of space for our family of 5. They served the best breakfast we had in Sri Lanka, as there were plenty of delicious options! Sudu and Raf helped us organize and schedule our adventures whether it was surfing or clothing stores. The main beach was a quick walk and a variety of cafes and restaurants along the way. Our last night we were treated to a fabulous curry dinner prepared by Sudu and the ladies that we enjoyed with all the guests and some of Jada's friends! Who knows, maybe you'll get lucky and have a few shots of Arrack with Sudu!!! He certainly has some amazing stories! Super people, super food, super accommodations = super fun time!

Quiet location, yet close to beach and main road. Spacious and cozy rooms, some with outside showers, breezy and very comfortable. Monkey action in the garden, delicious food and amazing staff. Will return!

Excellent place, well maintained and very friendly and attentive staff. Its tucked away from the busy area, yet so close (walking distance to the town) making it an ideal place to relax when you want to and still enjoy the vibrancy of Arugam Bay town when you feel like. Breakfast was great and yummy. We loved every bit of it.

We had a wonderful stay at this accommodation; everything was perfect! First of all, the tap water throughout the property is DRINKABLE! For breakfast, there were several options to choose from, including local specialties and VEGAN dishes, all accompanied by the freshest and most delicious avocado and fruits. The staff were kind and attentive. Our room was tastefully decorated, and the lovely private terrace with a hammock provided true comfort, as did the A/C and the fan. The bed was large and comfortable, with a mosquito net included. The open bathroom was very authentic, with hot water and shower gel available. We were visited by a few small frogs, which only made our stay more memorable. The garden is like an oasis, with beautiful and well-maintained plants. We are so grateful to Rafaella and Sudu for operating such a high-quality accommodation, and we can’t wait to return in the future! :)
