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 […]

#62 Palm Grove Holiday Inn

#62 Palm Grove Holiday Inn is owned by a popular Ampara polititian, Mr. Galapatti.
Set well way from the main road and town, #62 Palm Grove is the very first place in the entire area which received a proper, legal liquor licence in 2002.
The place is popular with local hard drinkers, due to its remote […]

#61 Fishing Net

#61 Fishing Net is for many years actually widely known as “Chuttie’s”.
Situated on the main road leading to Panama, this is a very remarkable and striking development just outside the ‘City’ Centre of AbaY.
Remarkable not only because of the impressive first floor restaurant surrounded by a  huge fishing net draped with beautiful passion flower creepers, […]

#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 […]

#55 Seven Seas

#55 Seven Seas is still closed.
In brief: Tamil owned (see: Meena), completely looted and boke up in the civil war, rebuild only in 2004,  leased out to Colombo Tamils in mid 2004, completely washed away in the Tsunami.
The position on the only cross road, in the heart of AbaY makes this THE prime location in […]

#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 […]

#50 Siam View Hotel -SVH-

#50 Siam View Hotel or: -SVH- should exist somewhere between #49 Pereras and #51 HangLoose. However no record of this place can be found anywhere, at least locally.
Neither Mercy Corps or their sponsored Tourist Association Web sites, or indeed any Governmental Departments seem to list this establishment.
Does #50 SVH actually exist?
Have you been […]
