About

Located just 200m away from the magnificent Arugam Bay Beach, Agra Arugambay is the perfect place to rest, and unwind. Start your day with the waves followed by a hearty breakfast that will energize you throughout the day.

Our guest room and hostel setup contains 3 x Private Double Rooms and 3 x 4 Bed Mixed Dorm Rooms.
Please note that if booking a bed in the mixed dorm, the booking is for any available in any of the dorms rather than a specific dorm.

Well kept rooms, bathrooms, restaurant, and guest lounging areas, impeccable service levels and lip-smacking food and beverage will surely add color and comfort to your entire Sri Lankan experience.

***Group Bookings (Max 2 Per Booking) - If you are booking one of our dorms, we limit bookings to a maximum of 2 guests per reservation (also includes any groups who book separately). We strive to maintain a social and inclusive atmosphere for everyone at Agra Arugambay and unfortunately, due to the intimate nature of our property, group bookings can disrupt the ability for solo travellers to bond and connect with others at the hostel. Any bookings that exceed our guidelines will be subject to immediate cancellation without prior notice.

Best hostel in Arugambay. Had a really good time and good conversations. It's not a party hostel though if that's your vibe.

Absolutely loved my stay here. I felt a very good vibe and found it perfectly balanced between relaxed and social in a nice way: both the delicious breakfast, the Sunday family dinner and the outings for sunset and dinner regularly organized through the WhatsApp group provide wonderful opportunities to connect with people and although partying is not officially contemplated, most nights where something was going on in town naturally made their way to the fun for those who wanted to have it.
