Arugam Bay is one of Sri Lanka’s most sought-after surf destinations, and Pine and Palm is the perfect base to access it. Our hotel is walkable to Main Point, one of the most iconic surf breaks in the area, popular for advanced surfters. Beginners can also surf the Baby Point next to Main Point when it is working. During the shoulder season, you’ll find at least two surf points working, while the peak season offers up to eight surf points for all levels of surfers. Arugam Bay is great for surfers of all levels due to it having mostly sand-breaks (waves break on the sand instead of the reef). From beginners to advanced riders, there’s a spot for everyone. If you’re looking for something off the beaten path, our surf team can take you to hidden gems further along the coastline, where you’ll ride waves in serene, more remote locations.

For those wanting to discover more surf spots, our surf safaris are the perfect way to explore the coastline. A tuk tuk or jeep will take you to more remote surf breaks. Along the way, you may catch sight of elephants, crocodiles, peacocks, little green parrots, and water buffaloes. These safaris provide the ideal combination of adventure, surf, and nature.

End your day with a breathtaking sunset. Arugam Bay is known for its incredible sunsets, and you’ll find plenty of scenic spots around Pine and Palm to watch the sky change colors over the Indian Ocean. Some of the most popular spots are Elephant Rock, Crocodile Rock, or just a spot in the sand on the beach. Whether you’re lounging by the pool or taking a stroll along the beach, it’s the perfect way to unwind and reflect on the day’s adventures.
