This is a very special place. You can really feel the peaceful energy that surrounds this hotel. It epitomizes a relaxing getaway. The entire place has been built with such passion and the artistic details around the property are beautiful. The entire experience was so positive and I feel so lucky that I was able to visit this hidden treasure.... more

The samadhi centre is one of the most beautiful hotels i have had the pleasure of staying at. The hotel is completely immersed in nature as you will see. Words cannot describe how truly beautiful the hotel / as well as the surrounding area is. There is a waterfall a 10 minute walk away and there was no one at... more

To me this place was all the mystery, biodiversity and divinity of the jungle packed into a comfortable guest house. Being located in the heart of the Kandyan jungle, it does not take anything away from the environment but in fact perfectly blends in with the surroundings. I have visited the Samadhi centre twice. The first time with a group... more

The owner of the place, Mr. Waruna, and his staff were all amazingly nice. When we arrived, it was dark in the evening, and all we could see were antiques and oil lamps, and listen to the sound of the lake. The Samadhi Centre is not the usual place for most tourists. It is a place for quietness, to bathe... more

I have been to Samadhi twice now. The centre is literally carved into the hillside admidst the jungle. It is a truly beautiful, remote haven for those who want to experience the wild Sri Lankan great outdoors. The only sound you'll hear is the vibrant hum of nature and it is such a peaceful place to sleep and wake up.... more

Initially, we had spent two weeks holidaying at the famous Mount Lavinia Hotel on the outskirts of Colombo, before travelling to the Kandy Samadhi Centre. On arriving in Kandy from Colombo, there was still a 45 minutes uphill drive to the Centre, which is actually situated in a remote village at Naranpanawa. The Kandy Samadhi Centre is not a five-star... more

We were really looking forward to it after having read endless positive comments on TripAdvisor, it sounded like our kind of place. The road to the hotel is indeed horrible, just like they mention in their website. so Do not even think about going there in a car, a jeep or a van YES. But to our surprise when we... more

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
