What makes us unique here in Arugambay? Well, as a guest our property awaits you with the most breathtaking view of the ocean. Our family rooms, ocean-view rooms and ground-floor rooms all have en-suite bathrooms and large beds with comfy mattresses. Our two apartments: the ocean view one (built in 2021) and the palm tree one (built in 2023, YES BRAND NEW!) can accommodate families, couples, and groups of friends (up to 4 adults). As these apartments, next to ensuite bathrooms with showers, also have private kitchen facilities, cutlery, as well as working desks with fast internet connections, digital nomads as well as long-stay travellers, can rest assured that their working environment will meet their expectations. Please enquiry for long stay special rates as well as digital nomads special rates.

Built on the land bought by my grandfather, back in the day, the Surf Access Guest House and Apartments have been part of the local hotel and restaurant business for the past 10 years. My pleasure is to welcome you here at our site and have you leave with the greatest Arugambay experience you could ever think of. Oh, by the way, my name is Dilshaard, how do you do!

The ocean and the sandy beach of Arugambay are your neighbours. Me and my staff are available 24/7 for your transfers and pick-ups, check-in/check-out as well as organising local tours, think of the National Wild Life park, as well as fishing and water sports experiences. Tours along the coast to historical and religious places of interest are also available upon request.
