Location

 Arugam Bay is in the remote South East of the Island of Sri Lanka, close to Pottuvil - an area few tourists visit. Inland is a band of jungle 70km wide. Wild elephants roam the coastal plain and the small but delightful Lahugala National Park about 10 miles inland, and an astonishing range of birdlife migrates to the wetlands and the huge Yala National Park which starts about 20 miles to the south.

This website, though sponsored by The Stardust Beach Hotel, is a resource of information about Arugam Bay, the neighbouring town of Pottuvil and Sri Lanka itself. We want many more people to visit this area, both to enjoy an unforgettable and magical experience, and to provide a much-needed boost to our local economy. We warmly welcome all contributions and suggestions.
Arugambay is one of the world's top 10 surf locations, situated on the idyllic and unspoilt East Coast of Sri Lanka. The closest town is Pottuvil, and it is within easy reach of the superb kovils at Oganda, Yala and Lahugala National Park, and Kataragama. The legendary Vihara Maha Devi is thought to have landed at Arugam Bay - or perhaps at Panama, a few miles to the south, the site of an important Buddhist temple. The drive north up the coast through Komari, Thirukovil (site of a fabulous Hindu temple), Oluvil, Akkaraipattu and Kalmunai towards Batticaloa, through jungle fringes where elephants roam and past numerous enchanting lagoons, is one of the most beautiful coastal journeys in the world.
