#05 Beach Hut is without any doubt the most popular place in town.
Whenever there are just a few visitors in the Bay: They will be at “Beach Hut” for sure; this innovative, artistic place usually is full to capacity. When other places might be empty.
Together with Ram of Sooriya’s fame and Mr. Rupas of Rupas Cabanas this is the most original establishment visitors since the 1960’s remember Arugam Bay for:
Great super fresh and tasty, inexpensive food often taken together on a BIG table, boarding school like a set set meal, at a set time.
Oil lamps, camp fire, simple but clean rooms, an interesting mix of regular guests, some of which have never missed a single season in quarter of a Century!
You are bound to feel the most memorable, cool vibes anyone can experience, anywhere.
“Beach Hut” is copied by many, but this original, chilled place is very special and nobody will ever succeed with any imitation.
Further “Beach Hut” leaves you with a feeling that it is a LIFESTYLE, rather than just a commercial enterprise.

Totally agree with view on beach hut. We have stayed there the last three years in a row including early this year when almost nothing else was standing. Ranga is one the best hosts I have ever stayed with and seems to always attract a great bunch of guests. So much bitchiness around already and he just let‘s the stupid things slide
Highly recommended
Indeed: Ranga & Beach Hut are what we love about Arugambay.
Old fashioned, relaxed, honest & straight business in a perfect setting.
Brilliant food, too!
Ranga is a legend,a mate and the best host and cook I have ever met.You must have a BeachHut experience just once in your travels.
Like any successful place in town, good, gentle Ranga has attracted lazy, jealous so- called competitors.
Nobody ever comes close to his style!
We very much hope that he will continue to have the strength, determination and diplomacy to resist all attempts to disrupt his great work in this beautiful, peaceful setting.
Strange that most bitchiness, as mentioned by Liz & Dean seems to come from the same, Muslim direction all the time.
Keep up the great work, Ranga!
You have our full support
