Political meeting in Panama
Sri Lanka is a democracy, with much higher levels of voter participation than achieved by most Western democracies. EC observers have declared recent elections fair.
Young Onlookers
Sri Lanka has a free education system, and a high level of literacy. However, daily chores often limit children's ability to attend school
This website, though sponsored by The Stardust Beach Hotel, is a resource of information about Arugam Bay, the neighbouring town of Pottuvil and Sri Lanka itself. We want many more people to visit this area, both to enjoy an unforgettable and magical experience, and to provide a much-needed boost to our local economy. We warmly welcome all contributions and suggestions.
Arugambay is one of the world's top 10 surf locations, situated on the idyllic and unspoilt East Coast of Sri Lanka. The closest town is Pottuvil, and it is within easy reach of the superb kovils at Oganda, Yala and Lahugala National Park, and Kataragama. The legendary Vihara Maha Devi is thought to have landed at Arugam Bay - or perhaps at Panama, a few miles to the south, the site of an important Buddhist temple. The drive north up the coast through Komari, Thirukovil (site of a fabulous Hindu temple), Oluvil, Akkaraipattu and Kalmunai towards Batticaloa, through jungle fringes where elephants roam and past numerous enchanting lagoons, is one of the most beautiful coastal journeys in the world.
