Absolutely loved this place! A beautiful, clean hotel with a breathtaking view of the sea. Located in a very peaceful area perfect for relaxing or surfing. Also, the food is top-notch—don't miss the fresh fish and lobster! 10/10 ! The staff is exceptionally friendly and helpful. Great spot if you want to go surfing.

“Excellent.”
Location was great, a calm place, bit away from Arugambay main area. If you are looking for a calm place Tiny tuna is highly recommended. Clean room, friendly service, nice welcome drink, morning coffee and breakfast, the beach all for yourself. The place is very much worth what you pay. This will be our Arugambay stay for next the time as well.

This place is awesome. The huts are super close to the beach, comfy and we'll equipped. The owner and all of the staff are very welcoming and regularly checking in on their guests. We even got some welcome drinks! And the food they offer was tasty as well :)

A super private cabana resort. An amazing off the beaten path path place near Arugam Bay. Kayu and his team are incredibly friendly and great with kids. Kayu also has an extensive knowledge about his surroundings and the ocean. The room was smaller than we expected but very comfortable bed that was awesome for a relaxing sleep. The food they prepared fresh daily for us was top class. Rustic original Sri Lankan flavours. Can recommend the Tuna and Dhal. As well as the prawns. As well as the rotis. All freshly made to your request. Lest we forget the welcome drinks we chose made of mango and pineapple right on the beach. (There are many combinations to choose from) An amazing place to stay for a relaxing holiday stay. Will be back to visit Kayu and his team in the future for sure! Thanks tasty tuna for an unforgettable time!

“Beautiful accommodation and great Staff!”
Really nice place! One minute from the beach and 15 minutes from whisky point (surf spot). Kind and always available staff. The owner organised for us the Kumana Safari (just two of us on the Jeep), the Lagoon safari and the road trip to Ella, everything without commissions. We also tried the restaurant and was really good, always fresh fish and fresh fruit.

Breakfast and other requested cuisines are very good and the person who prepares food has good skills on hand in cooking.

“5 amzing days in tuna cabana”
We spent 5 amazing days in tuna cabana. The house is in front of the beach and you can easily reach the surf point from there (pottuvil). The owner is very kind and attentive to all our necessity/ requests. We also had dinner at the restaurant and the food is amazing. We warmly suggest it!!!
