Paddyway Resort

A lovely resort with great customer service. The people running the resort could not do enough to ensure we had an enjoyable stay. The location is a short walk from the beach and restaurants. The It was in a nice quiet area. The rooms were really good and the shower one of the best we experienced in Sri Lanka. There was some building work taking place but we were told about this before we stayed. We didn’t use the pool but it looked great. Once the work has been completed the place will be fantastic, especially for families. I would definitely recommend and would love to return.

My stay at Paddyway Hotel in Arugam Bay was exceptional. The rooms were clean and cozy, and the hotel had a relaxing vibe. A big thanks to Ali for his excellent service—always helpful, kind, and attentive. He made sure everything was perfect and truly enhanced my experience. I would definitely stay here again!

My partner and I had an amazing stay at Paddyway. We did a six day surf camp and our instructor Jemsen was incredibly helpful. I feel like we both saw a lot of progression in the 6 days. We had breakfast at Paddyway every morning and it was always delicious. The staff was very helpful. Even when we did an early surf, they would give us fruit to go and breakfast whenever we came back. We attended two yoga classes as part of our surf camp and they were very helpful to our muscular recovery. Our room was gorgeous. The bed and pillows were very comfortable and when we first came into the room, it was already cool from the AC and it smelled absolutely amazing. They really did a great job of providing a luxurious experience. We also loved having our own WiFi in our room. The connection was always working unlike other places in town. We had a memorable stay and are very grateful to the incredible staff and instructors!
