( MAP GOOGLE MAP ; 224 8191; www.arugambay.com ; cabanas s/d US$35/43, r US$70-80, apt
US$95-110; )
Exuding beach chic, this wonderful Danish-run place sits pretty at the far end of the bay.
There's a simply magnificent open-sided restaurant-lounge-terrace facing the ocean - it's
perfect for languid meals or a relaxed drink and browsing the owners' books and
magazines. Rooms and apartments are charming, with elegant furnishings (though they
have cold-water bathrooms) while cabanas are simple, neat and well-designed.
Yoga classes and massages are offered in season.
Surf N Sun CABANA
( MAP GOOGLE MAP ; 224 8600; www.thesurfnsun.com ;cottages incl breakfast US$30-45; )
Deservedly popular place that definitely wins the 'garden of the year' award, with a lush,
verdant Eden complete with pond and bursting with tropical greenery. The cottages, some
with crazy trees growing out of the showers, are cosy too, if slightly overpriced. It's a well-
designed place with lots of lounge space for chilling with a book and good food too.
Discounts are readily available at quiet times.
Mambo's CABANA
( MAP GOOGLE MAP ; 077 782 2524; www.mambos.lk ; s/d US$45/60, bungalows US$85-130;
)
Surfer favourite, right next to the main point, allowing you to tumble out of bed and land
in the lineup. Offers attractive fan-only rooms in the guesthouse and excellent bungalows
with window screens, earthy, simple decor and little porches in a delightful garden setting.
The bar-restaurant has hammocks, tasty, filling meals (Rs 400 to 1000) and Saturday-night
parties.
Prices vary a lot according to the season.
