Rupas Beach Hotel sits directly on the sand at Arugam Bay, a simple, laid-back base for surfers and anyone after an easy seaside stay. Rooms are Standard, Superior or Deluxe, air-conditioned and finished with ceiling fans, en-suite bathrooms and private balconies or terraces looking out over the beach or the garden.

Being right on the beachfront puts you within a short walk of the surf breaks at Main Point, Elephant Rock and Peanut Farm, as well as the beach cafés and general coastal buzz of Arugam Bay, all while the hotel itself keeps a quieter, more relaxed feel.

Beyond the beach, guests use Rupas as a base for exploring Kumana National Park on safari, taking boat rides through the mangroves at Pottuvil Lagoon, hiking up Elephant Rock for the view over the bay, or heading to Whisky Point at low tide for a quieter stretch of coast. Room Only, Bed and Breakfast, Half Board and Full Board options are all available, depending on how much you want arranged for you.
