Curated for Your Comfort
Rustic Cabanas & Restaurant was born from a love of Sri Lanka's east coast — its golden beaches, legendary surf breaks, and untamed wilderness. We created a place where travellers can slow down, reconnect with nature, and enjoy genuine hospitality.
Our property on Main Street in Arugam Bay offers peaceful cabanas, a full-service restaurant and bar, and easy access to everything this coastal paradise has to offer — from world-class surfing and wildlife safaris to serene lagoon kayaking.
Whether you're a solo surfer chasing the perfect wave, a couple seeking a romantic getaway, or a family exploring Sri Lanka's wild east, Rustic Cabana is your home away from home.
8 Charming Cabanas
Our retreat features 8 charming cabanas — 3 triple rooms and 5 double rooms — each designed with rustic charm and modern comfort. Set among tropical greenery on Main Street, every cabana offers a peaceful private escape just minutes from Arugam Bay's surf, shops, and sandy shoreline.
Triple rooms are ideal for families or small groups of up to three guests, with spacious layouts, four-poster beds, and mosquito nets for restful nights. Double rooms are perfect for couples or friends, with elegant wooden furnishings, en-suite bathrooms, and everything you need for a relaxed coastal stay. Every room includes air conditioning, complimentary Wi-Fi, and our special super breakfast each morning.
When you're not exploring the east coast, unwind at our on-site restaurant and bar — serving fresh local seafood, Sri Lankan favourites, and tropical cocktails. Our friendly team can also help arrange surf lessons, lagoon safaris, wildlife tours, and airport transfers so you make the most of your time in paradise.
