Whisky Point Resort, hotel in Arugam Bay

Located in Pottuvil and with Whiskey Point reachable within 98 feet, Whiskey Point Resort features a restaurant, nonsmoking rooms, free WiFi and a garden.

Whisky point is such a special place and I am so glad that I stayed here. The resort itself is beautiful and the perfect place to escape and disconnect. The staff are all amazing and very welcoming. As a solo female traveller I felt very at home and could have stayed much longer. The food is also delicious, from pasta to pizza and homemade banana bread! The first couple of days I was working remotely and I found it very comfortable with good wifi. After that I spent most of my time relaxing on the beach and enjoying the peaceful tranquility and good vibes. I 100% recommend.

All the rooms were clean, there were only a few so a nice quiet and relaxed atmosphere. Set in a lush garden and less than a minutes walk to the beach. Mohamed was a very sweet man and was constantly bringing me small snacks, anywhere from cakes to chicken and chili pastries, that his mom had made fresh for the guests. Very accommodating and lovely family that own and run lucky!

    It's a place for beach lovers and surfers.

    It's a place for beach lovers and surfers. Further not that spectaculair place to stay, lot is outdated and overprized. For nature lovers is Kumana the place to be and for that reason you stay in Arugam Bay. One village further is Panama, with a little accommodation to stay.

    It is a must destination for any traveller who is interested in surfing. There are shops to buy your needs and many more. You can find good restaurants where they serve meals at any time. Kumana the wild life sanctuary for birds is nearby to where you can arrange transport at Arugumbay. Apart from birds, crocodiles. Leopards. Bears and elephants can be sighted. Though this is situated at east coast there are places where you can observe sunsets as well.

    Had a wonderful stay here - the accommodation was comfortable and cosy and the location itself is very central and walking distance to most of the hot spots in Arugam Bay. A special thanks to the Manager running the place, Kevin who was extremely attentive and kind and ever willing to support us with every request. He's got great contacts too for excursions etc. An extremely value for money experience for long stays especially, and we will definitely be back next year for an even longer stay.

    Really enjoyed my stay here, the room was basic but had everything I needed. Mosquito net worked very well and the bathroom/shower was spacious. I was greeted with a smile every time and Murshith was super friendly and really enjoyed getting to know you. He also helped arrange a surf lesson for me last minute and it was one of my favorite activities I did in Arugam Bay. Extremely close to the beach, just 1-2 minute walk and very close to restaurants and all the action at night.

    We LOVED the Spice Trail. We booked this hotel as a last minute stay for 3 nights, and it really is a slice of heaven in Arugam Bay. Our room was huge, and the minimal boho decor made it a haven for relaxation - the private garden was an added bonus! The breakfast at Spice Trail was our favourite food that we had in the whole of Arugam Bay. I recommend the Masala Eggs! Thank you so much - we wish we could have stayed longer.

    Great 5 day stay for our family of 4. The team that run the hotel were really good with our kids. Swimming on the beach every morning before breakfast was magic, the food was great, as was the bar and music each evening. The room facilities were great as well. Shout out to Murthala who helped out with anything we required, tuk tuks, safaris and advice on Arugam Bay in general. We will be back!

    Both the room and the bathroom was clean. Property itself is kept in good condition. Tucked away from the main street, so it is quiet yet very easy to access all the restaurants. Beach is only a short walk away. Owner was nice and helpful. Both the owner and the assistant greeted us with friendly smiles whenever they saw us. We plan on staying there again whenever we visit Arugam Bay the next time.

    Located in ACTUAL paradise … right on the beach a bit further out from Arugam Bay center but that’s why it’s so peaceful. Staff are the kindest people I’ve met so far in Sri Lanka and make you feel at home immediately. Chef cooking breakfasts every morning changes what she was cooking - you just need to ask and she’ll make it! Blissful stay. Thank you Shim Beach Resort!
