Lucky Bay, hotel in Arugam Bay

Located in Arugam Bay, within 60 metres of Arugam Bay Beach and 1.9 km of Pasarichenai Beach, Lucky Bay provides accommodation with a garden and free WiFi as well as free private parking for guests...

Lucky Bay has the perfect location between the beach and the main road. It’s between the center and the north end of Arugam Bay which makes everything very accessible while it’s still quiet at night. The “room” itself is one of just five cabins which on the one hand makes it easy to get in touch with the other guests. On the other hand there are so many plants around the covered terrace that you can always choose having privacy. Next door, there’s a surfer hostel, so it’s also easy to get in touch with other surfers. Just ask Lucky Bay’s host Mohammed to arrange some surf lessons there as well and you might get a discount. Speaking of Mohammed: He’s the best. If there are any worries or you want to have something organized, Mohammed will know what to do. He’s super nice and makes sure you have a good time. For us, he organized surf lessons (best teachers in town btw) and got us a taxi to escape the rain and travel to Trincomalee which was way cheaper than street prices and also cheaper than the PickMe app. Compared to other accommodations where people take commissions, you can ask Mohammed for anything and know that he has only your well-being and that you have a good time during your stay in mind.

    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 Further not that spectaculair place to stay, lot is outdated and overprized.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.

    Had a wonderful stay here - the accommodation was comfortable and cosy and the location itself is very central and walking distance to most of the hot spots in Arugam Bay. A special thanks to the Manager running the place, Kevin who was extremely attentive and kind and ever willing to support us with every request. He's got great contacts too for excursions etc. An extremely value for money experience for long stays especially, and we will definitely be back next year for an even longer stay.

    Really enjoyed my stay here, the room was basic but had everything I needed. Mosquito net worked very well and the bathroom/shower was spacious. I was greeted with a smile every time and Murshith was super friendly and really enjoyed getting to know you. He also helped arrange a surf lesson for me last minute and it was one of my favorite activities I did in Arugam Bay. Extremely close to the beach, just 1-2 minute walk and very close to restaurants and all the action at night.

    One of the best hostels I’ve stayed at! The owner and his team are so thoughtful. The breakfast is incredible with several options (oats, pancakes, string hoppers, coconut roti). The location is great, it’s central and located on a quiet side street across from the beach. I also like the type of guests this hostel has attracts, most of which being young professionals who are considerate of the peaceful atmosphere. I will be staying here again next time I come to Arugam Bay!

    This is the beachfront hotel property of a big coconut estate in Arugam Bay, so more space is available to enjoy and chill out. I realize that it gives me more quieter and freedom. Very peaceful place with friendly and helpful staff. Nice dorms, it is located on top of the first floor and you can see the Ocean view when you sleep only hearing the sound of the sea waves creasing against the beach. This choice was a great experience and recommended.

    Great 5 day stay for our family of 4. The team that run the hotel were really good with our kids. Swimming on the beach every morning before breakfast was magic, the food was great, as was the bar and music each evening. The room facilities were great as well. Shout out to Murthala who helped out with anything we required, tuk tuks, safaris and advice on Arugam Bay in general. We will be back!

    Both the room and the bathroom was clean. Property itself is kept in good condition. Tucked away from the main street, so it is quiet yet very easy to access all the restaurants. Beach is only a short walk away. Owner was nice and helpful. Both the owner and the assistant greeted us with friendly smiles whenever they saw us. We plan on staying there again whenever we visit Arugam Bay the next time.

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!
