Hakuna Matata Arugambay

Arugam Bay City, Arugam Bay

Situated 80 metres from Arugam Bay Beach, Hakuna Matata Arugambay offers accommodation with a patio, as well as an open-air bath and a garden. This beachfront property offers access to a balcony, a pool table, and free WiFi. The guest house features garden views, an outdoor fireplace and a 24-hour front desk. Hakuna matata is like a second home, you don’t feel like in a guesthouse but rather with a second family. Billie - the host - is amazingly helpful and organises tons of cool activities for the guests (e.g. lagoon tour, jungle safari, barbecue nights). Mama prepares delicious and always different breakfasts every day at every hour to accomodate your (surfing) schedules. The place is surrounded by plants and trees which make it even more laidback. Will definitely come back. For surfers, it’s a 20m walk to main point.
