Booking beachfront cabanas vs inland homestays in Arugam Bay
4 Answers
It depends on your sleep tolerance. Beachfront cabanas offer amazing views, but they are directly next to the massive, loud beach parties that go until 4 AM. You will not sleep. The inland homestays (just 5 minutes walking off the main road) are incredibly peaceful, half the price, usually include an amazing home-cooked breakfast, and the hosts treat you like family. I highly recommend inland.
Inland is way better. Plus, the beachfront wooden cabanas get insanely hot during the day because they trap the humidity.
Good point about the noise. We will book a quiet homestay inland.
If you are carrying a heavy surfboard, beachfront is convenient, but you can always just leave your board at a locker in a surf shop.
