If the sound of crashing waves, thatched bungalows and a barefooted existence appeals then the Jetwing Surf hotel on Pottuvil Point at the northern end of Arugam Bay is right up your beach. Here, you can lead the life of a lazy lounger or a surf bum in style as the Jetwing Surf comes with a generous helping of rustic luxury.
Aside from being on a stunning beach and having a surf break on the doorstep, the Jetwing Surf is a far-flung boutique retreat that has something for every sun worshipper.
Don’t let the absence of aircon put you off. There is almost always a cooling sea breeze wafting through the cabanas. And if it needs to be supplemented there are wall mounted fans.
The main stretch of beach in Arugam Bay is a 45-minute or so walk. The small town of Pottuvil is just a stone’s throw from the resort and easy to explore on foot.
