Holidays in Arugam

If that Chrissie money you got last year is burning a hole in your wallet, why not spend it on a holiday to Arugam? We assure you — it'll be a gift that keeps on giving!

It's situated 210 kilometres to the east of Sri Jayawardenepura Kotte, the capital city of Sri Lanka.

Nothing comes close to enjoying your favorite cooling beverage by the sea. During your stay, travel to Arugam Bay Beach, 0.7 kilometres to the northeast.

Arugam is close to some nice natural sights. Kumana National Park is 35 kilometres away and is well worth looking around.

Like to venture outwards? Pottuvil is 4 kilometres to the north of Arugam and Komari is 15 kilometres to the north. Hop in the car and find out what's going on out there!

Spend a morning or afternoon exploring the Aanaipanthi Temple, the St Michael’s College and St Mary’s Cathedral. They are all quite close to the middle of Batticaloa, 100 kilometres away. Need something else to do? Dutch Fort and the Auliya Mosque should also feature on your travel list.

Your eyes shouldn't get to have all the fun while visiting Ampara District. Give your taste buds a little attention too by trying the local food and beverage offerings. After all, you haven't truly experienced a place until you've tasted its flavours.

Once you find a table and skim through a café or restaurant menu, you'll see that chicken and beef are some ingredients popular in the local cuisine.

You don't need to agonise over the menu when you're in Arugam. Get stuck right in and sink your teeth into some of the regional specialties, such as kiribath with onion samba (milk rice) and vegetarian kottu (stir fried mix).

Travel calories don't count, right? So it's a wonderful excuse to indulge in some king coconut, a much-loved dessert.

Intend to be here around the 4th of February? Luck is on your side. Each year on this day, the whole country unites for Independence Day.

From the centre of Arugam, it's around 100 kilometres southwest to Mattala Rajapaksa International Airport (HRI). This is the nearest airport. Remember to give yourself enough time to find your way there so you don't miss check-in.
