Aqua Blue, hotel in Arugam Bay

Set in Arugam Bay, 100 metres from Arugam Bay Beach and 2.2 km from Pasarichenai Beach, Aqua Blue offers spacious air-conditioned accommodation with a terrace and free WiFi.

We had the absolute best stay at aqua blue!!! The location is just great, the beach is really close and there are a lot of restaurants and bars nearby. The room was nice and clean and we really loved the balcony with the hammock. The breakfast and food in general at aqua blue is absolutely delicious! But what I loved most about aqua blue is how warmly we were welcomed and how lovely everybody has been to us during our stay. Basheer and his team always did their best to make our stay as comfortable and amazing as possible. We felt like we were part of a family. Basheer also helped us with so many activities like surfing, safari, cooking class etc. which were such great experiences! There is no better place to stay in Arugam Bay than in the Aqua Blue Hotel!!!

    We stayed for 4 nights and thoroughly enjoyed our time here. Chilled, laid back vibes, lovely host and awesome location. If you want to be away from the busy road but still close to the beach and restaurants, this is your spot! During our stay the host organized a “family dinner” which was really nice - a lot of the guests were present and the food was also delicious

    Amazing place, near the beach. The rooms have AC and are spatious. It’s located on the ´main road’ nearby all restaurants and shops, yet it’s calm and not noisy. The owner is so friendly. He arranged our taxi to the next stop and he and his wife cooked for us, after that we played a card game. We had the best time in Tropicana Homestay. I would also recommend the surfing lessons, we had the best time with our teacher Rizy, who teached us properly and cared about our safety.
