Whisky Point Resort, hotel in Arugam Bay

Located in Pottuvil and with Whiskey Point reachable within 98 feet, Whiskey Point Resort features a restaurant, nonsmoking rooms, free WiFi and a garden.

Whisky point is such a special place and I am so glad that I stayed here. The resort itself is beautiful and the perfect place to escape and disconnect. The staff are all amazing and very welcoming. As a solo female traveller I felt very at home and could have stayed much longer. The food is also delicious, from pasta to pizza and homemade banana bread! The first couple of days I was working remotely and I found it very comfortable with good wifi. After that I spent most of my time relaxing on the beach and enjoying the peaceful tranquility and good vibes. I 100% recommend.

All the rooms were clean, there were only a few so a nice quiet and relaxed atmosphere. Set in a lush garden and less than a minutes walk to the beach. Mohamed was a very sweet man and was constantly bringing me small snacks, anywhere from cakes to chicken and chili pastries, that his mom had made fresh for the guests. Very accommodating and lovely family that own and run lucky!

    It's a place for beach lovers and surfers.

    It's a place for beach lovers and surfers. Further not that spectaculair place to stay, lot is outdated and overprized. For nature lovers is Kumana the place to be and for that reason you stay in Arugam Bay. One village further is Panama, with a little accommodation to stay.

    It is a must destination for any traveller who is interested in surfing. There are shops to buy your needs and many more. You can find good restaurants where they serve meals at any time. Kumana the wild life sanctuary for birds is nearby to where you can arrange transport at Arugumbay. Apart from birds, crocodiles. Leopards. Bears and elephants can be sighted. Though this is situated at east coast there are places where you can observe sunsets as well.

    Greatest place we have been to in Sri Lanka. Very nice hosts and personal, clean and comfy bungalow with everything one needs, very comfortable bed, refill of filtered water, bikes available to take without additional cost, awesome tips and information from the hosts. Located right at the start of Arugam Bay, so quick and easy to cycle to Pottuvil for cheaper local food and it is not so crowded as in the middle of Arugam Bay. Overall just perfect. We have been here in off-season and enjoyed it to the fullest

    Excellent place to stay in Arugam Bay! The room is spacious and clean and there is even a shared kitchen for everyone. The property is located at the end of town, but there are many great places to eat nearby and the hotel is only a 1-minute walk from the beach. Perfect! Plus, the staff is so nice and the vibe is amazing. The manager Deen welcomed us warmly and both him and the kind elderly man treat us like family. Can't recommend this place enough!

    I had a fantastic stay at Starfish Cabana! The location was perfect, just a 4-minute walk from Arugam Bay and the surfers' spot, making it ideal for both beginners and advanced surfers at Black Beach. Additionally, being so close to the main street with all the restaurants, pubs, and supermarkets was a huge convenience. The vibes at the place were amazing, and the host was exceptionally nice and helpful throughout our stay. Highly recommended!

    We LOVED the Spice Trail. We booked this hotel as a last minute stay for 3 nights, and it really is a slice of heaven in Arugam Bay. Our room was huge, and the minimal boho decor made it a haven for relaxation - the private garden was an added bonus! The breakfast at Spice Trail was our favourite food that we had in the whole of Arugam Bay. I recommend the Masala Eggs! Thank you so much - we wish we could have stayed longer.

    Extremely friendly host who is happy to help you with any questions. The accommodation is near to the beach (about 120m) and at the beginning of the main road of Arugam Bay, where are plenty of restaurants, bars and shops. I like it more to walk a few minutes to the crowded spots, than sleeping in the near of them. Breakfast was okay and enough. For two nights it was okay, no regrets. You get what you pay. ;)

Staff are the kindest people I’ve met so far in Sri Lanka and make you feel at home immediately. Chef cooking breakfasts every morning changes what she was cooking - you just need to ask and she’ll make it! Blissful stay. Thank you Shim Beach Resort!
