A boutique surf and eco retreat on Sri Lanka's wild east coast. Sleep in hand-built A-frame cabanas, dine beneath a soaring natural-wood cathedral, and ride some of the finest waves on earth.
Tucked between palm forest and the Indian Ocean, Light House Surf Camp is a hideaway for those who want their adventure with a side of serenity. Our timber and thatch cabanas rise naturally from the jungle, our natural-wood restaurant frames the sunset, and the surf is never more than a barefoot stroll away.
It is the rare place where you can chase barrels at dawn, practise yoga at noon, and watch the stars from a hammock by night — all without leaving home.
From sea-view tree-house cabanas to cosy private rooms and a bright mixed dorm — every space is hand-built from timber, natural-wood and thatch, and opens onto green.
Elevated A-frame raised among the palms with sweeping ocean views from your deck.
A comfortable double opening onto a hammock terrace with uninterrupted sea views.
A single bed in our bright, social dorm — the budget-friendly way to stay.
Our open-air restaurant soars three storeys into the sky — a natural-wood and thatch cathedral that glows golden at sunset. Wake to tropical fruit and hoppers; return from the water to fresh rice and curry, the catch of the day, and cold drinks as the sun melts into the bay.
Balance your adventure with our holistic offering — Ayurvedic treatments and nutrition guided by a resident physician, sunrise yoga and breathwork, and deeply calming sound healing. Rest, re-set, nourish, detox.
Arugam Bay is ranked among the top ten surf destinations on earth. We read the swell each morning and take you to the wave that fits your level — beginner to barrel.
Group & private lessons for first-timers and improvers, with certified local coaches and small classes.
Video analysis and dawn-patrol missions to Main Point, Pottuvil, Peanut Farm and our secret Light House break.
Soft-tops to performance shortboards, all in top condition, delivered to the sand. Hourly, daily & weekly.

Golden hour
Endless coastWe sit near Sangamankanda — the eastern tip of Sri Lanka — where the beaches run empty and white, the swell rolls in clean, and the crowds of the main bay feel a world away. Around us: lagoons full of wildlife, ancient temples, elephant-dotted national parks and the most magnificent sunrises on the island.
"Waking up in a jungle A-frame, surfing at dawn, then dinner in that incredible natural-wood restaurant — it felt like a dream. The most special place we've ever stayed."
"They took us to a different break every morning. The whole place has soul — hand-built, run by locals who genuinely care. Already booked to return."
"Travelled solo and never felt alone. Sunset from the hammock, surf, yoga, a safari, the freshest seafood. Pure magic on the east coast."
