Little Lagoon Hostel, hotel in Pottuvil

Set in the beginning of Arugam Bay, close enough to shops and restaurants but far enough that it is quiet and peaceful, Little Lagoon Hostel is a 3 minute walk away from the beach.

It was more spacious than seemed in the pictures. Cool chill area. Relaxed and laid-back place. Breakfast ideal for meeting the people staying there.

Little Bay Arugam Bay, hotel in Pottuvil

Located in Arugam Bay, a 2-minute walk from Arugam Bay Beach, Little Bay Arugam Bay has accommodations with a garden, free private parking, a terrace and barbecue facilities.

The property is a good place to stay. The hostel is big, and we are just four people in a 2-bedroom style accommodation. It is very close to the beach and the main street. The owner is great; he also takes us to places where we can see elephants, alligators, and some farm animals. I wish I could stay here longer.

I had a fantastic stay at the hostel! The staff Philippe and Harsha was friendly and very helpful, and the check-in process was smooth. The dormitory was clean and comfortable, with sturdy bunk beds and ample storage space. I appreciated the security measures in place, which made me feel safe during my stay. The common areas were lively and well-maintained, providing a great atmosphere to socialize and meet fellow travelers. The hostel's location was also convenient, close to the beach and restaurents. Overall, I had a wonderful experience and would definitely recommend this hostel to others looking for a budget-friendly and enjoyable stay.

    Property is in a great location close to the Main Street, the beach and main surf point. The hosts are so lovely, and offer to prepare breakfast/coffee/juice every morning - we were only supposed to be staying for 5 nights but ended up extending for another 5 as the room is such good value for money. It’s clean, spacious, has a fan and A/C which is all we needed out of a room. Thankyou for having us
