Tripadvisors tilnærming til anmeldelser
Hver Tripadvisor-anmeldelse går gjennom et automatisert sporingssystem før den legges ut. Dette systemet samler inn informasjon som svarer på følgende spørsmål: Hvordan, hva, hvor og når. Hvis systemet oppdager noe som muligens strider imot retningslinjene våre for fellesskapet, blir anmeldelsen ikke publisert.
Når systemet oppdager et problem, kan en anmeldelse automatisk avvises, sendes til anmelderen for bekreftelse eller gjennomgås manuelt av teamet vårt av innholdsspesialister. Disse spesialistene jobber døgnet rundt for å opprettholde kvaliteten av anmeldelsene på nettstedet vårt.
Teamet vårt sjekker hver anmeldelse som er lagt ut på nettstedet og bestrides av fellesskapet vårt for ikke å møte retningslinjene våre for fellesskapet.

A world-class wave for surfers but that can be inconsistent at high season. It's better checking the surf forecast before! The bay is wild and clean with charming fishing boats and local beach huts where to cool down. The point is the main break and deliver the best swell. There are other famous breaks around, like Komari or Panama Point. The local bars and restaurants are mostly very good with happy hour and nightlife. It's one of the best value in Sri Lanka for beach lovers. Fabulous!

Have tho say the spot is quite good when there is swell and can be super fun. However I was there not even in peak season and the amount of people in the water was just ridiculous, something like 70 guys at any moment… There were at least 3-4 guys on every wave, crashes every 15 min and locals mindlessly dropping in and screaming at everyone. I don’t really care about localism that bad and sort of understand it but this was just them ruining the experience for everyone that wasn’t paying them for “clases”. One local guy tried to fight me in the water after claiming I purposely was aiming to run over him with the board, keep in mind there were at least 4 others around him (I didn’t even touch or scratched him when “running him over”). Heard about a lot of people after going that they had major safety issues and specially girls with the locals…

whilst all the restaurants/ shop people are lovely the place itself is over run by predominantly young Israelites.
Sadly very little respect for anyone and definitely no respect for locals or their customs. Surf at the moment is mediocre at best. .but you can't control the weather. This is my second time here. whilst there are some awesome new cafes... I wish them well. It's not for us now and won't be returning.

Absolutely horrific experience at Arugam Bay beach. While swimming, thieves broke into our tuktuk parked right in front of the shore and stole our belongings. To add insult to injury, a random man approached us afterwards demanding a parking ticket!
There seems to be zero security on the beach, leaving tourists vulnerable. Be warned - if you can't keep an eye on your stuff the entire time, don't bring it to this beach. There are many other beautiful beaches in Sri Lanka with a better atmosphere and respect for visitors.

A long coastal town spread out along the sea and beaches. I can say that Arugam Bay is a very relaxed surfer town, I could say that it pulls on the hippie scene. They have beautiful beaches, excellent spots for surfing, near the Yalaa Park and get to the other. We were there during the season, it was happening every day, you have beach parties, restaurants with excellent food... Don't be surprised if you see people walking barefoot around town with a surfboard under their arms and a smile on their face, this is Arugam bay

Nice clean beach. Great place to learn surfing. There are many hotels on the beach front which have put up beach beds and offer FNB.

Ich bin nicht im Mai in die Arugam-Bay gefahren, aber ich war als junger Mann (vor dem Tsunami) zweimal dort. Beide Male eines der schönsten Urlaubserlebnisse überhaupt.
Strand, Surfen, Essen unter Palmen, primitive Unterkünfte aber trotzdem schön. Nette Leute. Keine Full-Moon-Parties. Hoffentlich ist das bis heute so - Thailand ist ja auf vielen Inseln schon verseucht.
Ein Ausflug nach Tincomale oder v.a. in den Yala National Park sind lohnend - hoffentlich nicht zu viele Touris im Park. Jafna soll auch interessant sein - dorthin zu reisen war damals schwierig wegen der Tamil Tigers.
Problematisch ist die Verindung zwischen Colombo und der Arugam Bay.
Alternative: Erstmal nach Hikkaduwa fahren - viel los aber tolles Strandleben. Richtige Saison ist wohl erst ab Oktober. Dafür aber auf der anderen Seite der Insel, z.B. Arugam Bay. Von Hikkaduwa einfach an der Südküste weiterfahren. Von dort aus ist es nicht mehr weit in die Arugam Bay.
Wer auch was anderes sehen will, dem empfehle ich Ratnapura - die Edelsteinstadt seit Jahrhunderten. Man kann sich ein Bemo mit Fahrer mieten. Der bringt einen dann zu den Schürfstellen, meist am Fluss. Hier könnt ihr Edelsteine mit ZERTIFIKAT kaufen. Ganz wichtig. Nichts auf der Straße kaufen.
Das Hochland mit den ausgedehnten Teeplantatgen ist ein absolutes MUSS! Fahrt mit dem Zug, nicht mit dem Taxi. Eine Zeitmaschine - man wird mind. 50 Jahre zurückversetzt. Ohropax mitnehmen - kann sehr laut sein. Aber die Züge fahren pünktlich und sind spottbillig für unsereins.
Schön wars, bei jeder Reise. Sri Lanka ist einfach toll!

Atemberaubender langer Strand. Ein sehr guter Ort zum Surfen. Die meisten Touristen kommen auch zum Chillen und Schwimmen. Der Strandbereich und das blaue Meer sind sauber. Hoffe es bleibt bei dieser Schönheit. Dort gibt es viele Restaurants und Orte, an denen Sie Surfbretter ausleihen können.Wir haben die gesamte Reise in Srilanka an diesem Strand verbracht, an dem wir die meiste Zeit verbracht haben.

Hi I am visiting Arugam Bay in August as a solo female surfer. Could anyone please recommend some different accommodation options? Nothing top of the range but somewhere nice and relaxing where I can chillax after a day surfing. Also, is it likely to be booked out or can I book 3 days then wing it when I arrive? Cheers :)
Skrevet 2. mai 2019
Good day. Most likely, my information will no longer be relevant, I have not come here for a long time.
But still I share, suddenly useful information.
1. Water Edge Resort - Nice place with amazing views.
2. Bay Vista - Good breakfast, with a good hostess. Sometimes she holds master classes on cooking kari.
3. Surf N Sun - I really liked the territory of the hotel, you can walk along it. Also, very tasty smoothies and seafood soup.
4. Gecko Rooms - Cool place to sit for lunch. A lot of board games and drinks. But the kitchen is average.
5. Bites Arugam Bay - Place for chill out :) Cozy. Delicious coffee (this is for coffee lovers) and a lot of different drinks.
6. Kaish Restaurant - Do not look at the appearance. There is TASTY. Shrimps and tuna, as well as roti and fruit salad with ice cream.
A place where you can get a good surf and instructor, if needed
Banana Surf Shop - led by Iflas
I hope something useful. Have a nice vacation.

Is it safe for a native sri lankan to wear bikini at arugambay ?
Skrevet 1. juni 2018
Yes. I would wear something more modest in the street, but it’s fine on the beach.

Hi all. Planning to spend the whole of June in Arugam Bay. Please can anyone confirm how fast the download speeds on wifi networks in the guest houses/hotels are. Digital nomad here and need fast and reliable internet connection, and hoping I will find it in Arugam Bay. Thanks and much love :)

Late to the party, but we just spent a month in Arugam Bay. WiFi varies a lot. At first it was super speedy at our accomodation, but then the allowance ran out and it was unusable. We've relied a lot on tethering to 4g (Dialog which is 100% reliable and pretty cheap) and going to cafes with good WiFi. The most work friendly we found is Karma Gardens (1 world cafe is OK, but the music is loud so not great if you need to make calls or really concentrate). Ahimsa is another one, but not many seats (very good fresh food though).
We also created a guide with info for anyone visiting the Bay, which might be useful. chloeandgeorge

Travelling solo...
May be heading to Arugam Bay in my own for a few days from Dubai.
1. Is it safe?
2. Will a taxi from Colombo be the best travel option (long but all the flights seem to head there!)
3. Best place to stay??
Thank you!!
Skrevet 3. februar 2018
1. It is safe like every other place in Sri Lanka.
2. Cheapest option would be getting a non AC bus from colombo to Panama and hiring a tuk tuk from there. But it bill be a 7+ hour long journey on an uncomfortable and crowded bus.
Else you can go to Ampara or Kalmunai by an express AC bus from Colombo and hire a cab from there.
hiring a taxi from colombo will be the expensive option, but also will be the most comfortable option as you have the control over the route, start time and where to have a break.
3. Since this is the off season for surfing, you will be able to find many good places just on the beach for comparatively lower price.
