Location
The Danish Villa is a homely five-bedroomed property set amidst an acre of tropical garden on the landside of the tiny Arugam Bay hotel strip and is just a 10 minute walk away from the magnificent beaches of the south-east coast. Arugam Bay is known as one of 10 best surf spots in the world and dedicated surfers return each year to experience the thrilling waves and the relatively secluded beaches. Keen surfers usually make the eight-hour journey on the A4 route directly from Colombo to Arugam Bay, which is tiring but well worth the trip. Since Arugam Bay is easily assessable from other parts of the country including the southern highlands (Badulla, Ella, Haputale), central hills (Kandy), Buttala foothills (Uda Walawe, Yala, Tissa) and the South Coast, it can be easily be included in a tour of Sri Lanka.
Introduction
The only villa of its kind in Arugam Bay, the Danish Villa, with its spacious living, dining and sleeping areas, is ideal for a group of friends or two families travelling together. The interiors are furnished with locally-produced furniture and the gardens are restful with plenty of birds that perch on the tall tropical trees and coconut palms. When the Danish owners are away, the villa is managed by Tahir who is always at hand to assist guests. The Danish Villa can comfortably accommodate up to 10 guests and is rented on a BB basis. You can rent the entire villa or per room.

There is also a cook who can assist in purchasing seafood and market-fresh produce. There are several cafes and guest house restaurants within walking distance where you can dine or which will deliver to you at the villa. Arugam Bay offers activities ranging from surfing to nature treks. Surf boards can be hired from one of the surf shops in town. Surfing lessons can also be organised for beginners if required.
Excursions
Listed as one of ten top surf spots in the world, Arugam Bay also known as AbaY, is a popular haunt for surfers especially during the peak season between July and August. There are several popular point breaks including Ullah Point, Pottuvil Point, Surf Point, Peanut Farm Point, and Crocodile Rock. `Surf Point’ that breaks at the headland in front of Arugam Bay is suitable for body surfing and beginners; Pottuvil Point situated on a deserted beach north of Arugam Bay is more suitable for experienced surfers; and Crocodile Rock, another challenging surf point, is located south of Arugam Bay. Waves of up to 5–6ft offer up to a 400 metre `ride’ and the relatively isolated beaches are a major attraction to surfers. Explore the nearby Pottuvil lagoon, home to monitor lizards, monkeys, and numerous species of birds. Trek through wilderness to the ruins of the Kudumbigala jungle monastery which dates back to the 2nd century BC with rock caves, inscriptions, and ruins of stone buildings. The spectacular views from the rock extend as far as Kataragama.
