Blue Waters, hotel in Arugam Bay

Located in Arugam Bay, a few steps from Pottuvil Beach, Blue Waters provides accommodations with a garden, free private parking, a terrace and a restaurant.

Absolutely stunning, private, peaceful and relaxing. Our whole stay at Blue Water was perfect, the cabanas are cute, clean and spacious for couples. We couldn’t fault anything. We stayed for my 40th birthday and the team decorated our room, what a lovely surprise on entry. Although there is no air conditioning, the fans in the room are sufficient and the cabanas are designed well with openings for a breeze. Rinos is amazing, he was so attentive and looked after all of our needs. He’s really friendly, a pleasure to meet and an excellent chef. Sudha and Dinosan are both phenomenal, they make sure the whole area around the cabanas are pristine, they take so much pride and leave patterns in the sand for guests. There is a good variety of food, the fresh juices are so tasty. We had breakfast and dinner most days and Rinos catered for our tastes. The beach is private and only a few steps away, most days we were the only ones there, it is paradise. At night we fell asleep to the sound of the waves. Thank you Blue Water you made our stay unforgettable.

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 Further not that spectaculair place to stay, lot is outdated and overprized.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

    Our stay was wonderful. Our host Jazz and his family were very friendly and offered help and suggestions on what to do in Arugam Bay. The location is perfect as it is next to the beach (1 minute walk) and in the city center. All the rooms are modern as they were clearly renovated not too long ago, and our room was perfectly clean. The breakfast was good and tasty. I would certainly recommend staying here, certainly if you're looking for a good value stay in Arugam Bay.

    Iqbal and his staff were very lovely and supportive regarding everything we wanted to do. He organized a lagoon safari and bikes for rent to very reasonable prices and gave us best advice what we could explore in the surrounding area. We ate delicious rice and curries and had some wonderful fresh juices. The location was perfect- right at the beginning of Arugam Bay, calm during the night and very close to the beach. It was a pleasure to stay with you!
