This resort is beautiful, tranquil and compels one to relax and contemplate what is important in life. You are treated like family and can enjoy nature's wonders---birds singing, fireflies dancing, the soft murmur of the river, swimming at the waterfall, and dog therapy. Waruna and family extend extraordinary hospitality-one feels more like a house guest than a customer- and the... more

We came straight to Samadhi from the airport, having read some of the reviews on TripAdvisor. It was dark when we left Kandy to get to the hotel, and it is well off the beaten track, up some winding country roads away from the hustle and bustle of the busy roads below. When we arrived, we were welcomed with tea... more

My husband and I more or less booked this on a whim when the other place we were planning to stay with was booked. I saw it had the number one position and Trip Advisor and I thought, what the heck we'll go for it. We had arranged with Waruna (the owner) that we would have an airport pick-up in... more

I arrived at Samadhi directly from the airport and it was the most perfect place to begin my holiday in Sri Lanka - it was simply divine if you like nature, peace and tranquility. The food was delicious and they used lots of produce from their own land or nearby so it was also educational. The river was perfect for... more

We have no word to say anything. This is an unbelievable clam, silent place. Foods are too much. I am sure that you can get an amazing experience. Clemet is very cold from Dec to Feb. more

I found out about the Samadhi by looking at other people's reviews on trip advisor and had a look at their very helpful website. The photos were beautiful... more

From the moment we set foot in the Samadhi Centre we were made welcome and felt at home. With Waruna the owner and/or his uncle present at meals, a family type atmosphere is cultivated. We loved the food, the room - plain but comfortable, the leafy surrounds, the peace and quiet. Each morning we took our yoga mats to the... more

I have visited the Samadhi centre a several times. I am drawn to the retreat due the peace and tranquilly it offers. At Samadhi the nature is forever present. The soothing sounds of the wild birds and the nearby river, the feel of the fresh breeze and sight of lushes greenery helps me forget the troubles back at home. Samadhi... more

I found the website of the Kandy Samadhi Centre completely by chance and decided to head straight there from Colombo to get London out of my system. What was intended to be just a three night stay turned into my full seven nights in Sri Lanka after just spending a few hours at Samadhi. The setting is breathtaking - settled... more
