#03 Galaxy Lounge is the third hospitality place on your left as you enter Arugam Bay. It is a fairly new establishment in town.
But it is one of the best and perhaps certainly the most interesting one of recent developments the Bay has seen in many years.
Well, actually it is the result of two developments in the same location..
Pretty London raised Sri Gunasena and Aussie hunk Surf-Waine just completed the first Galaxy Hotel in 2004….
Everybody agrees, that their second attempt, completed 2006 resulted in an even better and more beautiful ‘Lounge’ than ever before.
The couple had a very narrow escape at the time, but fate has blessed them with a nice baby son during 2005.
The family can be proud to be recognized as a fine meeting place for musicians and artists, such as painters. This seems obvious as you approach the seafront restaurant.
Cabanas, some build on high stilts, are all made of natural, local materials and are often decorated with innovative, beautiful works of art.
And there are paintings of a kind and quality not usually found in this remote region.
It almost seems like there is a Spanish influence somewhere; the odd Latin dance lessons are a fine compliment to this great ambiance.
There also is a good menu with fresh Humus, a good drinks selection and an open air restaurant with a clear view of the open ocean right in front.
Nice website. Thanks for the descriptive words Fred. Everbody come down and check it out. All welcome. Wayne

The Galaxcy Hotel has reopened.
And after its total loss the place has risen to new heights.
Most tasteful cabanas are on stilts, like wooden tree houses.
This is a quiet, artistic and well run establishment and we can recommend The Galaxcy.
You can find it next to popular Beach Hut at the bridge end of town.
Although on the beach itself, it‘s a good mile to surf point.

Stayed at Galaxy Lounge a few weeks ago (on Dixie’s recommendation) and am happy to report that it’s a tip top place with some very attentive service and thoroughly decent accomodation. I would recommend this to other travellers or surf doods.
