Introduction to “Hotels”

Arugam Bay is basically a simple, straight 2km Beach Road, and nearly all Hospitality places are located here, either sea or land side.
This “SunRise Strip”, AbaY ‘Broadway’ or “Marine Walk” has no name or indeed house numbers.
To give you some idea of their position, as from 2006, we list all “hotels” with a #prefix followed […]

#69 East Surf Cabanas

#69 East Surf Cabanas Is the last resort as you pass AbaY center and walk out towards the end of the village towards Panama.
We were planning to write an introduction for some time, but the entire story has a bitter ending due to sad events late September 06.
Ranga has been the popular manager of Mambo’s […]

#59 Ruwangi Place

#59 Ruwangi Place is a simple wooden hut hidden in the back Streets of AbaY, very near to #58 Rupas.
The most striking impression of this Place is a sign on the table in the front garden:
“Best Arugam Bay Rice & Curry” followed by a very modest: …..I think…
The funny thing is: EVERYBODY agrees!
Even the world’s […]

#58 Rupas Cabanas

#58 Rupa’s Cabanas: Together with other originals “Sooriya’s” and “Beach Hut” old Mr. Rupas completes the Famous Three representing Arugam Bay hospitality at its best, for more than quarter of a rather difficult Century.
Rupas Cabanas are located at the Southern end of the Bay, near famous Surf Point.
Family run, a new beach side restaurant, clean […]

#54 Shashni Beach Resort

#54 Shashni Beach Resort is an interesting, 2006 creation.
The strip of land just South of #50 SVH has been used by Tangalle resident Mr. Sudumathia (”The White Guy”) for many years as a fish packing centre. The Ceylon Fishing Corporation operated an ice crushing plant next door. Daily, fish was transported to the main market […]

#51 HangLoose Hotel

#51 HangLoose Hotel was known as #51 GrassRoof Hotel for many years before it changed the name.
Muslim owned and run, #51 has always been very popular with Israeli Surfers, who felt very much at home in the former GrassRoof.
Farook, with a high, destinctive voice is the manager when he can spare time from this […]

#47 Hawky’s

#47 Hawky’s is not quite the same as #46 AbaY Surf shop.
But the two are connected, one is a shop, the other owns a piece of land where you may find accommodation; under construction during 2006.

#46 AbaY Surf Shop

#46 AbaY Surf Shop has been moved in 2005 to its present location.
Previously, and for many years, Hawky’ Surf Shop was located directly opposite #50 Siam View, and next door to #40 Hello Madam, Mark 2.
Hawky, real name is Mr. Hawkings, is a model of your clichee veteran Aussie surfer: From Victoria, long blond hair, […]

#43 Home Needs

#43 Home Needs

#43 Home Needs is a well run, clean food and small needs shop.
Something a bit like a Sri Lankan 7/11 corner shop.
Situated right in the middle of the Bay, open until 21:00 hrs. it is perhaps the best run little shop Arugam Bay has to offer.
There are plenty of fridges and freezers and […]

#41 Surf & Sun

#41 Surf & Sun is the most colorful, friendly looking development, located roughly in the middle of the Bay, opposite #40 Hello Madam and #39 Hillton Hotel.
Run by two Sri Lankan surfers, Samman and Nuwan the entire place has a distinct surf appeal.
In front there is a surf shop, as well as a recent addition […]
