New Folly — Beach Bar & Restaurant in Arugam Bay

New Folly — Arugam Bay beach bar & restaurant

Beach bar & kitchen by the sea.

Our Place

A small place on a long beach.

New Folly was built for surfers chasing a dawn point break, travellers looking for a quiet table under the palms, and the kind of guest who promises to leave on Tuesday and is somehow still here on Sunday.

It's a beach bar and kitchen — run by people who actually live here, with the sea about thirty unhurried steps from the front door.

Food & Drink

Cooked slow. Poured cold.

Postcards from the Bay

Slow down. Stay awhile.

A few moments from a season at New Folly — surf at sunrise, sunsets on the deck, lanterns over a fire that never quite goes out.
