The property is set 3.8 km from Muhudu Maha Viharaya, 5 km from Crocodile Rock and 5.5 km from Lagoon Safari - Pottuvils. The accommodation provides a 24-hour front desk, airport transfers, a shared kitchen and free WiFi. The property has a great location that’s central to town but in a quiet street. The room and bed were spacious and comfortable. The kitchen is clean as well. Rinas was so helpful while I was in a stressful situation with my shuttle never arriving. He found another ride for me last minute and saved the day. 10/10 would recommend!

The building itself was gorgeous and provided both shade and some nice spots to lounge in the sun. They were also very chill with me sticking around on checkout day which was much appreciated. Would absolutely return and stay for longer if I were to return.

Aura surf camp & Hostel is situated in Arugam Bay, within 7.2 km of Elephant Rock and 18 km of Magul Maha Viharaya. The property is set 3.8 km from Muhudu Maha Viharaya, 4.1 km from Crocodile Rock and 5.6 km from Lagoon Safari - Pottuvils. The property is non-smoking and is located 500 metres from Arugam Bay Beach. It had only just opened its doors and we were met with the warmest welcome from the manager who couldn’t do enough for us. Always went out of his way to accommodate us - sharing extra phone data with us, allowing late check - out due to work commitments, updating us to the air-con room because the fan room was under renovations but with no extra charge. We really enjoyed our stay, thank you so so much
