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 Further not that spectaculair place to stay, lot is outdated and overprized.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

    Oruwa was one of the best hotels we stayed at in Sri Lanka. We really enjoyed that it is 10 minutes away (by tuk tuk) from the busy Main Street in Arugam bay as it was much more chilled out. The staff were incredible - the restaurant manager Firoze made our stay extra special, he was so attentive and kind and made sure all of our needs were met. What a guy! The owner of the hotel was also very nice and helpful with booking trips & excursions and everybody couldn’t do enough to make sure we were happy.

    A hidden oasis in Arugam Bay. It’s in Whisky Point, so perfect if you want some peace from the main town (20 min by scooter or tuktuk). And if you surf it’s closer to the quieter, northern spots…so better imo. ;) Richard manages the place, and he has a wealth of stories and hidden spots to explore. I’d stay longer if I could! Very sweet dog and cat roam the property as well. ❤️ Much love to Arus & Richard for having us here.
