Get About Us

We Create Journeys Worth Taking For The Traveler

We are hooked on surfing, the enchanting mentality of local people involved and respect surfers around the world. The outstanding community we have been involved with in our Star Rest-based Surf camps has inspired us to find new places to share the sport of surfing. Our Sri Lanka surf retreat offers similar travel feelings on its East Cost – yet of course, it is completely different in culture, people and food.

The waves we’ll get you to from our Star Rest Surf Camp are good quality and consistent.

Vibrant and beautiful place Star Rest Surf Camp is a Small pearl in Arugam bay. The surroundings are beautiful, peaceful and you can hear the sound of crashing waves - the beach is only 100 meters away. The staff was very helpful and friendly and had a big impact on the atmosphere of the place. The place felt almost as my second home the week I spend here.

Great location, room, and manager *__* We came here because it seemed like a nice place by the beach and it really wasn’t expensive compared to other places I’d seen. We arrived and right away, the hotel manager Ansa, who’s like this young and awesome surfer dude, served some tea and we started talking. He took us surfing for a really good price (he’s a really good instructor), buying us water, samosas and everything included, always made sure we were confortable. The rooms are simple but confortable, bathroom was clean and you literally walk 30 sec to get to the beach. The hammock was great to chill too. Loved the place and will be coming back for sure. Highly recommened!!!

Great hosts, Good WiFi, arranged tours perfectly. I had a really great stay at Star Rest Surf Camp Arugambay. Ansa, the person running the place, will make sure that everything meets your expectations. The place is really clean and beautiful and it's literally a few meters from the beach! Ansa and his Brother even let me use their kitchen as the day after I arrived the Covi-19 curfew started. I had booked for one night and ended up staying for over two weeks 😊! It is also possible to rent a scooter directly at the accommodation for a good price. If you want you can book some surf lessons at the property, the friendly owner Ansa is a surf instructor and can give you some nice tricks to improve your surfing skills. The beach is about 20 steps away and there is an relaxed and chilled vibe in the hotel. We can absolutely recommend the Star Rest Surf Camp Arugambay!🌟👍
