Spot Arugam Bay ARUGAM BAY

Starting from $150
12 guests
6 rooms
6 bathrooms

Arugam Bay does not do subtlety, and Spot Arugam Bay does not try to. Named for the leopards that still move through the scrubland behind Kumana, this cluster of timber cabins sits in a quiet garden a short stroll from Peanut Farm Beach, close enough to the surf break to hear it and far enough from Main Street to actually sleep. Six cabins, six bathrooms, room for twelve, and a design language that leans hard into varnished wood, red accent linen, and glass doors that fold the outside in.
