Arugambay Resort

Magnificent place. Wonderful garden, clean and stylish rooms, restaurant with really good food and atmosphere. The stuff are very friendly and efficient. Asanka, the manager, is always helpful. As to my knowledge, this is the best resort in Arugam bay.

Rooms are fine. Pretty Basic but clean. Friendly staff. Familie bungalows are situated right at the restaurant/bar site, like 12 meters away. bar is situated right off the street, so it’s a public place. Loud live music was keeping the family awake till nearly midnight. The menu is not so child friendly and you need quite some patience. For surf-yoga crowds this place is good. For families perhaps little less.

I spent 3 weeks at Hideaway in January as this was the venue of a Yoga Teacher training. I could not have wished for a best place! I immediately felt at home, the facilities have all comforts but remain very cozy, the staff is super helpful, kind, always smiling and doing their best, and the food...I've never eaten so well in my life! We were on a vegetarian diet and the variety of creativity of the chef were unparalleled!

An utterly delightful resort/hotel. I stayed in a bungalow set in the beautifully curated gardens. Aircon, ceiling fan, very comfortable bed, and great shower. I was on full board for three weeks and the food was exceptional, always. The service from everyone was impeccable. I loved it so much I shall be returning.

I recently ran a Yoga Training at Hideaway resort in arugambay and it was beyond all of our expectations. The accommodation is absolutely stunning, so peaceful and luxurious, and the staff is top notch. Every meal was fresh end consciously prepared, and absolutely delicious. We were here with 17 people, and everyone commented on how incredible the staff was. They went out of their way at every turn to make sure we had everything that we needed and more, we couldn’t be more grateful. We will definitely come back

Best coffee in Arugam Bay and very high quality food that's well thought through, we came here every day! Also very friendly staff, we enjoyed talking to them while sipping our cappuccinos. We also loved the green and laid back atmosphere with the indirect lights, while listening to the best music in town. As you walk through the hotel area to get to the restrooms, you can see immediately how cozy of a vibe the rest of the resort has, if even the restrooms follow a beautifully minimalistic and modern concept, how nice must the rest be. Five stars for the cafe / restaurant, as this is the only thing we can properly judge through experience.

We found our little hideaway in a magical corner of Sri Lanka. From the warm welcome, comfy rooms and warm cafe hospitality we enjoyed every part of what Hideaway offers. The breakfasts and evening meals were delicious and substantial - full of the very best of Sri Lankan ingredients and flavours and the staff always friendly. We gamely attempted Aero Yoga - which was a new but incredible experience for all of us and were indulged in the most wonderful massages. We will always dream about early morning surfing (lessons!) and coming back to the the hideaway for our breakfast juices and hearty breakfasts. Sharon thank you and your team for such a lovely getaway, certainly one of the highlights of our stay in Sri Lanka. Wishing you all the best for the rest of your season.

The rooms doesn’t stand in the standard and for sure doesn’t worth the price. We couldn’t close the door of the room, we had a flood in the room and a lot of noise, no clean towels or linens and for sure the management of the hotel doesn’t understand how to handle problematic situations and make you feel uncomfortable when you mention the problems. I talked personally with the owner of the hotel and the response of her was ridiculous (no new linens because of COVID, meanwhile everywhere else is new and clean and etc..) The restaurant of the hotel is very good and also the location. The staff are nice but you don’t get a felling of home, we moved out asap.

A place with a really great vibe, relaxed bohemian cafe with excellent food that's been made with a lot of thought. The staff and management are really nice. The bungalows are located meandering around the many trees and are cozy. It's right on the main *****, with the beach across the road, but with the rooms located inside and surrounded by trees, it is cut away from the noise of the street. We had a restful 5 days there
