Map of Sri Lanka
Sri Lanka is widely regarded as one of the most beautiful islands in the world. It is home to a spectacular range of wildlife - habitats range from the broad coastal plain and wetlands to jungle and the central highlands with peaks rising to 7,000 metres. There are many ways of reaching Arugam Bay - most will take you through the breathtaking highland scenery - for advice on travel here take a look at our Traval FAQ or contact us directly.

| Arugam Bay (Arugambay) is close to Pottuvil in south east of the island, on one of the most beautiful and unspoilt tropical coasts in the world. Inland is a band of jungle 70km wide. Wild elephants roam
the coastal plain and the small but delightful Lahugala National Park about 10 miles inland. An astonishing range of birdlife migrates
to the wetlands and the huge Yala National Park which starts about 20 miles to the
south. Click here for a map of Arugambay. |

| 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. |
