Stardust Beach Hotel sits directly on the sand at Arugam Bay on Sri Lanka's east coast, about 0.8 km from the centre of Arugam Bay and 2.6 km from Pottuvil. Popular surf breaks and beach cafés are a few steps away, yet the hotel keeps a quiet, welcoming atmosphere.
Arugam Bay lies about 218 km as the crow flies from Bandaranaike International Airport at Katunayake, and the drive across the island usually takes 6.5 to 7 hours, depending on traffic and the weather. Book the Colombo (CMB) Airport transfer to Stardust Beach Hotel.
There are 14 units, a mix of rooms and cabanas, each with a private balcony or terrace looking out over the beach or the gardens. Every unit has a ceiling fan, an en-suite bathroom, comfortable beds and simple furnishings suited to a relaxed seaside stay.
The beachfront restaurant serves fresh seafood, Sri Lankan specialities and cold drinks, and a beach lounge has shaded seating and loungers right on the sand. Surfboards can be rented on site, with lessons for all levels, Wi-Fi is free in the common areas and there is free guest parking nearby.
Surfers can ride the waves at Main Point, Peanut Farm and Elephant Rock, and the climb up Elephant Rock gives wide views over the bay, while Whisky Point is a quieter beach popular at low tide. Further out, boat rides explore the mangrove channels of Pottuvil Lagoon, and guided safaris in Kumana National Park look for elephants, leopards and birdlife. Back at the beach there are yoga and meditation sessions, village visits and evening bonfires.
