Stardust Beach Hotel

Stardust is one of Arugam Bay's most established and recognisable surf hotels, sitting directly on the beach road a short walk from the main point. The property has been hosting surfers for over two decades and has built a reputation for reliable rooms, solid food, and a social scene that peaks in July and August when the swell is up and the bay is full. Rooms range from basic fan bungalows to air-conditioned doubles. The restaurant serves Sri Lankan rice and curry alongside Western breakfast staples and is a regular gathering point for surfers comparing notes on the day's session.
