A beachfront boutique retreat of timber A-frame villas, an infinity pool over the sea and a garden kitchen — steps from one of Sri Lanka's finest point breaks.
Right on the sand at Whisky Point, Pini Villa is a small, family-run retreat built around an infinity pool that looks out to the sea. Our signature timber A-frame villas open onto private balconies, and the open-air restaurant serves the day from first coffee to sunset.
Air-conditioned rooms, free Wi-Fi throughout and a 24-hour front desk mean everything is taken care of — leaving you free to chase the swell, roll out a yoga mat, or simply do very little at all.
Discover the experienceA glass-edge pool that melts into the sea, with a separate kids' pool and a terrace for slow mornings.
Steps to the sand and the Whisky Point break — surf the point, then drift back for breakfast by the water.
Continental, English, Asian and American plates — vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free always on the menu.
Yoga, sound-healing therapies and massage to reset body and mind between sessions in the water.
Each room is air-conditioned with a private bathroom, balcony and free toiletries — many with a view over the pool and garden to the sea beyond.

FamilyRoom to spread out for families, set among the gardens with easy access to the pool and kids' pool.
Breakfast is a quiet ritual here — eggs your way, tropical fruit, fresh juices and good coffee, served by the pool or under the garden canopy.
Through the day our restaurant moves from light lunches to relaxed dinners, with continental, full English, Asian and American dishes. Vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options are always available.

Pini Villa sits on the sand at the calm northern end of Arugam Bay — Sri Lanka's legendary surf town on the sun-drenched east coast, ranked among the world's top ten places to surf.
Wake to the sunrise over the Indian Ocean, surf the point before breakfast, and spend your days between the pool, the lagoons and the bay's many breaks. Around ten surf spots, wildlife safaris and ancient temples all sit within a short tuk-tuk ride.
Rooms, surf lessons and wellness sessions — book it all in one place, and the bay is just beyond the gate.
