The Kandy Samadhicentre
Τι λένε οι επισκέπτες
If you are a nature lover, there's no better place to be! Mystic, rustic place in the heart of the jungle - I am very happy I came across. We had the opportunity to meet the owner of this masterpiece who seems to take pride in what he does. Staff is very friendly and nice, always there to help. My massage treatment was out of this world... Lastly, the food is also very nice. We got the full board option and didn't regret it.

Great place to unwind and disconnect from loud city and the heat. The center is practically in the jungle, reachable by tuktuk or taxi from Kandy and is beautifully decorated (the owner is in antiques business). Beautiful surroundings and great facilities. I took some ayurvedic treatments and they were great (there's also ayurvedic doctor). I can also recommend yoga classes in the morning in their yoga space overlooking the trees. I took full board and all the food was delicious. Very friendly staff - they helped with any special request and always provided very detailed explanations, there are also options to organize day trips. My room was huge and air conditioning was not needed since it did not get hot at all in the jungle. Planning to go back for a full ayurvedic detox program. Big plus - 3 friendly dogs and couple of cats :)

Amazing setting with the greenery surrounding you and humming of the river and singing of birds creating all the noises you hear. Having a bath and shower outdoors but still with full privacy and enjoying the morning coffee on the terrace was fabulous. The tastefully run down design and upkeep of the buildings and the interior further makes you to disconnect from the normal life. We also very much enjoyed the breakfast and dinner buffets full of Srilankan flavours, in particular when the food was well heated up before serving. Swimming in the river was great and my wife loved the long massage and a yoga session she had. Everyone in the staff team were really professional and helpful. It was nice also have the opportunity to meet the owner and hear the unique place’s story first hand.

This is a little oasis about a 50min drive from Kandy It’s so peaceful There is nowhere nearby so we opted for half board The lodgings are set over several acres on a hillside - you can hear the river below 😊 The staff are very friendly especially ViMutday ( !!! Not sure how to spell but this is how it sounded to me ) who speaks excellent English 👍- he is full of very useful information too 👍👍😊 Food was very good We particularly loved the buffalo curd and palm sugar treacle 😋😋- dal excellent too There is no alcohol available as it hasnt got a license - some other guests had brought their own ! We went to the waterfall - 20 min walk away with the 3 house dogs who are so gorgeous - they were our guides there and back !! - the water fall was beautiful and we swam in the pool there - glorious it was We also had a massage ( amazing ) and had a really good early morning yoga class with a lovely doctor The rooms are massive too and when you suss out the hot water the shower is great It’s a very tranquil place out in the jungle - beds are massive and are very comfortable - staff are super friendly too Body wash and moisturiser is provided too

It's without doubt a beautiful place. The dining hall has some Harry Potter ambience, specially in the evening when the oil lamps are lit. Staff is very friendly and food very good and authentic Srilankan. If you want something else for a change, it's a good place. This place could be like an ashram. It has the perfect location, quietness and solitude. Nature is very abundant and the river inside compound is lovely.

The Kandy Samadhi Center is a wonderful place to immerse yourself in local culture and food. Every detail has been carefully and thoughtfully crafted, from the unique decor to the antique furniture that gives the space an authentic charm. The serene atmosphere, combined with the opportunity to enjoy traditional Sri Lankan cuisine, makes this a truly enriching experience. A perfect retreat for those seeking peace, beauty, and a deeper connection to the local heritage.

This is an amazing place! It's set on a hillside in the forest, and the surroundings are really peaceful. I only stayed one night, and had an excellent Ayurvedic massage ($55 for 1.5 hours) and did a yoga session ($15). I wished I'd stayed longer! My room was in one of the many outbuildings, each with their own character. It was huge and in fact more like an apartment with its own seating area and little kitchen. The bed was pretty comfy, and my only complaint was that there was no hot water. I went for half board. Both dinner and breakfast were buffets, which were excellent and plentiful. The staff were extremely professional and helpful, and I really enjoyed my stay there. I took a tuktuk there from Kandy, which cost 2000 Rs. It's also possible to take a bus from Kandy to Orutotha, and from there it's about a 15min tuktuk ride up to the hotel (I did this on the way back). Overall, highly recommended as a relaxing retreat!

The Samadhi centre is a beautiful peaceful accommodation. The rooms are huge and well equipped, located next to a river and in the middle of nature. We stayed here when we arrived and it was perfect to rest for a few days. The super tasty local food is cooked everyday on request, the staff is super friendly and available to accommodate your needs.

Wonderful experience of being in the forest. The houses immersed in nature and the design of all the spaces are beautiful. We constantly discovered new terraces and rooms. The guests are fun as it attracts interesting people who like yoga and isolated retreats.

We really loved this location! I felt very peaceful while staying at The Kandy Samadhicentre- we stayed here for one full day while it was raining very hard. No better place to just chill and watch the rain :). it’s a very big terrain with a pleasant atmosphere. I had a yoga session with the doctor- she is very nice and she showed me some positions I never knew about! Very grateful for that! I also booked a consult with her, which I recommend!
