Beautiful, clean, quiet place. It is located 50 meters to the beach which is very comfortable. Rooms are equipped with A/C. Nice surfing school named "Surf with Deen" is located next-door. There are many restaurants within walking distance. So, it is very good place to stay when you are in Arugam Bay.

The resort is great but idle for couples since they are Cabanas. With kids may be not a good idea.

Very nice, place, about 10 minutes walk from the center of Arugam Bay, but they provide free bicycles, so it’s relatively easy to get there. The bungalows are spacious and comfortable, breakfast is filling enough and they provide free yoga sessions every day and also surfing lessons (cost is similar to that in the city).

I loved staying at Babar Point! The owners, Catherine and Michel were very welcoming and made sure we were taken care for the whole time we were there! Helped us arrange boards for surfing, scooters and drivers if needed a tuk tuk. They really made it feel like a home, which was so nice after a few days travelling around Sri Lanka. The bungalows are super comfortable and clean.

Everything is perfect. It’s a great distance from the centre of town, easy walking and far enough away to be out of the hustle. The family is so nice and extremely friendly and welcoming. I think it’s the best place in Arugam, for price, location, the room. They also make delicious food.

We had an amazing time staying at these beautiful new bungalows in Arugam Bay. The place has a fresh, stylish design and was incredibly comfortable – perfect for relaxing after a day of adventure. Everything felt clean, modern, and thoughtfully put together. The host was absolutely fantastic – so friendly and helpful throughout our stay. He went above and beyond to organize a special trip for us where we saw wild crocodiles and elephants in their natural habitat. It was an unforgettable experience and truly a once-in-a-lifetime memory! If you’re looking for a peaceful, beautiful place to stay with great hospitality and a touch of adventure, this is it. We can’t recommend it enough!

    You are more likely to meet a European than a local here.

    You are more likely to meet a European than a local here. This is definately not a reflection on Sri Lankan culture, however the beach town is slow and quiet (realtively speaking) and there are plenty of shops and restaurants. And of coure, the surf is consistent and the water warm. It's a winner for a beach holiday.

    The best feature of Arugam Bay is the surrounding jungle, lakes and lagoons. The main beach is very busy but other beaches, such as Peanut Farm are less crowded, Do thye Lagoon Safari and a park safari but also try surfing and relaxing on the beach.

    still relatively not crowded by the locals due to the distance, and miles of unspoiled, beautiful, isolated beaches to be found. Surfers paradise, but the seas can be a bit rough for the average sea goer. accommodation can be a bit overpriced during season but you can find some reasonable accommodation if you search and ask around.

    Perfect place in Arugam Bay. Laura is the best host ever, she helped us sorting out every kind of request (surfing lessons, scooter, bus timetables) and the house is conveniently located just 2 minutes walk from the main road with a great chilled atmosphere.
