Situated in Pottuvil and with Whiskey Point reachable within 30 metres, Whisky Point Resortfeatures a restaurant, non-smoking rooms, free WiFi and a garden. The accommodation offers nightclub and a 24-hour front desk.

We arrived at Whisky point not knowing what to expect. All I can say is that it exceeded our expectations in every way! We ended up extending our stay and became great friends with the owner, Nicola and his entire team! The rooms are tastefully decorated and very comfortable! Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner were exceptional! It could be the best Pizza I have ever eaten in my life. The fact that you are living on the beachfront, which is super clean with no crowds and a few minutes walk away from Pottuvil Point where you can catch good surf when the swell is good or swim off the main rock when its flat, makes this place the perfect location, away from the madness of Arugam Bay which can get super crowded. You can catch a tuk tuk to A Bay and be there in 10 minutes if you want to go into the A Bay. I am going to miss this place and my friends and will be back for sure! 10/10 all the way!

This 2-star resort has air-conditioned rooms with a private bathroom. The accommodation offers a 24-hour front desk, airport transfers, room service and free WiFi throughout the property.

A hidden oasis in Arugam Bay. It’s in Whisky Point, so perfect if you want some peace from the main town (20 min by scooter or tuktuk). And if you surf it’s closer to the quieter, northern spots…so better imo. ;) Richard manages the place, and he has a wealth of stories and hidden spots to explore. I’d stay longer if I could! Very sweet dog and cat roam the property as well. ❤️ Much love to Arus & Richard for having us here.

The manager found us another room in order for us to feel really like home and comfortable as much as possible. Would recommend their breakfast bowls ! Delicious!

    we were greeted with warmth and hospitality. The rooms were spacious, beautifully decorated, and provided all the comforts of home. The highlight of our trip was definitely the stunning swimming pools, where we spent hours soaking up the sun and enjoying the tranquil atmosphere. The resorts amenities were top-notch, and the staff went above and beyond to ensure our every need was met. And the foods were amazing

    Just amazing would summarize it best! Anna and the Whisky Point Team warmly welcomed us and made our stay relaxed, joyful and absolutly worth it. We stayed a few days in a lovely upper cabana, which has been furnished with an eye for an detail and enjoyed good sleep with the sound of the sea. The team was just stunning! They recommended and helped with trips, offered awesome Italien Food (Special for Sri Lanka) and helped even when sunburn was an issue :) Just book your stay and enjoy the resort!

    Everything was perfect. The owner was so nice, he made us feel like home. The breakfast (included) was really good and fulfilling, they also added some things we ordered. The place is on the beach, you can wake up and have a swim and coffee without leaving the resort. We’ll definitely come back.

    Definitely best place we've stayed in in Sri Lanka 👌🏻 Great owner, who's also a level 2 surf instructor and fluent in English 🏄🏽‍♂️ It's right on the beach, so you can listen to the waves breaking from your bed, sunbed, hammock or while doing yoga 🙏🏻 If you want a yoga class, surf lesson, transport, food..anything, they'll arrange for you :) Easy yet cosy rooms, as is the resort. It's not a luxury one, but clean and well kept and cosily arranged with light chains, hammocks, sitting groups etc.

    We slept in Popoye beach resort, because of construction works close to Chimaca Bay. It's the same friendly owner who offered us the other hotel when we arrived. We had a really good stay in Popoye. It was clean, everybody was friendly and we enjoyed the breakfast. Especially the owner was so helpful. I forgot my ring and he organised somebody who brought it to my next hotel within a day. Thank you so much!
