Kid-friendly holiday rentals in Arugam Bay

Large property in nature by the beach (very beautiful). Tree garden with a large pool. Air conditioning in bedrooms but not in living spaces (fan). Very nice caretaker. There is a kennel with two adorable dogs. Great showers. No cook but a supermarket a few kilometers away as well as surf breaks. The only downside is the smell of the cow enclosure next to the kennel can be unpleasant at certain times of the day.

Absolutely loved our stay here, felt like home right away. Spent many hours chilling on the outside sofas which are very very comfy. Had everything we needed with the kitchen and big fridge-freezer. Marie was amazing, gave us great tips for elephant & croc spotting (we saw loads just cruising around in a Tuk Tuk). The garden was beautiful and peaceful with fruit trees and flowers and an outside shower to cool down. Staying here made our time in Arugam Bay a wonderful experience. Thank you!

A perfect place to stay just outside the busy centre of arugam bay. A bit far to walk but easy in a tuk tuk or a rental car to the many surf spots or the centre. The house is beautiful and peaceful with areas to relax on the ground floor with friends. The highlight of the booking and what really makes it worth the money is Mita - a local friend of Nicola’s who looks after the property during the day and, if you ask nicely, can help you with anything you need. He made us an amazing bbq in one of the evenings and prepared the best breakfasts for the group every morning. Thank you Nicola and Mita! We will definitely be back soon!

Wow! Beautiful accommodation that is right on the beachfront. Feels like your own private beach. So unbelievably peaceful with beautiful clear skies and stars everywhere. Accommodation is spotlessly clean and good facilities. Responsive and helpful host. Small side note, there are alot of absolutely lovely dogs everywhere, they are very friendly but maybe not ideal if you are scared of dogs. Also take ear plugs for the call to prayer in a morning as there are alot of mosques within Arugam Bay so wherever you are you will be able to hear this. Would recommend, thank you!

We booked with Malika because we wanted an authentic home stay experience in a quiet, rural setting and we found exactly this and more! From the moment we were handed a delicious, ice-cold, homemade lemonade on arrival, Malika made us feel like part of her family. Our 3 days with her were some of the best of our trip. The cabana is beautiful and rustic but still very comfortable with good facilities. There's no AC but we slept really well under the mosquito net and fan. The location is great - 3 mins walk to the beach (it's not safe to swim there) and in a quiet corner of Panama village. We spent our days walking on the beach and exploring the friendly village. Our evenings were spent chatting with Malika in her kitchen as she prepared the most delicious rice and curry dinners. Malika also arranged a safari for us to Kumana national park. We invited her and her family to join us and it was a very special day out Thank you for everything Malika! We had the best time & we'll miss u

We were warmly welcomed. The villa is architecturally very well done and tastefully furnished. Caretaker Adam is always present for any concerns. He also cleans the apartment every morning. The beach is only a few steps away so you can fall asleep at night when the waves rush. There are plenty of seating options in the garden and restaurants and shops are within walking distance. Rüdiger and britta are excellent and thoughtful hosts with valuable tips. We had a great safari tour together. we would 100% recommend the villa.
