About this coliving

Lagoon Lane Coliving is a guesthouse in Arugam Bay with 5 bedrooms for up to 9 residents. Boards hang by the gate and most residents are in the water before breakfast. Rent includes utilities, Wi-Fi and weekly cleaning, which keeps long stays affordable. Monkeys, kingfishers and the odd peacock are regular visitors to the garden.

Wi-Fi runs at around 60 Mbps, with a 4G backup router. Every room has a desk, and rent includes utilities, Wi-Fi, weekly cleaning and bed linen & towels.

Arugam Bay is the east coast's surf town: a long crescent of sand, a string of point breaks within a short tuk-tuk ride, and lagoons where elephants come to graze in the evening. The main surf season runs from about April to October, when the town is at its liveliest.

A really well-run house. Great value for a long stay. Waking up to birds and monkeys in the garden never got old. Vithya took us to the local market and cooked rice and curry for the whole house. Already planning my next stay.

Second stay here and it was just as good. Boards on site and a break five minutes away, so I surfed almost every morning. Vithya sorted out an airport pickup and a local SIM before I even landed. I'd stay here again in a heartbeat.

One of the best months I've had on the road. The surf guiding was a highlight: Vithya knows which break works on which tide. Very fair price for what you get, with utilities, cleaning and Wi-Fi included. Cleaning was thorough and the sheets were changed every week.

Everything just worked, which is rarer than it should be. Perfect for intermediate surfers, and beginners get lessons right out front. Whenever something broke, Vithya had it fixed the same day. Big thanks to everyone in the house.
