Kandy Samadhi Centre

Beautiful stay! The surroundings are so beautiful and it was so nice to wake up in nature. The food was delicious and the decor was so cool and different! Vimukthi was very helpful and kind. He took me on a tour of Kandy too and was super knowledgeable about the area and the rest of Sri lanka.It was the best tour that I’ve had.

A wonderful place. The rooms are in many different buildings up the slope of what was once a tea plantation and is now a beautifully managed part of the jungle. My visit was made so good by the kind attention of Vimukhti Ratwattage who now runs it and who was an excellent guide to the village, the local waterfalls, and the plants and food.

My home away from home. A place that turns you back into a kid who gets to connect with yourself and nature. A hidden gem in Kandy that every nature lover and history lover should visit. In summary, a garden where the past, present and future merge. Food is tasty, nutritious and healthy. Samadhi also offers ayurvedic treatments and care. Everyone in the staff including the owner Waruna Jayasinghe, and Vimukthi and Pubudu are always helpful and attentive to every request. Chandra who was in charge of keeping the Knuckles Villa clean and neat was always there to help me whenever I needed assistance. So, as I always say, Samadhi is a hidden gem.

My stay at Kandy samadhi centre was nothing short of a sensory delight. A beautiful space to relax in, gorgeous organic food and very comfortable rooms. The design of this place is incredible! Colours, antiques and architecture! Samadhi has a very ancient feel to it even though it’s only existed for 25yrs. I had a full body Ayurvedic treatment during my stay. What an experience- the setting alone for the treatments is an experience in itself but the quality of the massage was outstanding. The staff are beyond helpful and incredibly kind- full of smiles! My room overlooked the knuckles mountain range, felt super safe here at night. I’d recommend this place to anyone looking to get off the beaten path and experience a really unique stay in a completely natural setting.

Best ayurveda wellness in kandy We enjoyed stay in this fantastic authentic sri lankan. Ayurveda center in the mountains in kandy. All the staff is with full of love and caring. Food was amaizing. They grow their own organic food , bit expensive but healthy and tasty. This place is beyond my imagination explore and enjoy. Thank you samadhi center...

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!

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 ayurveda massage treatment was out of this world... Lastly, the food is also very tasty. We got the full board option and didn't regret it. Tip: You should expect many insects in the room because you are in the jungle.

Booked in for a yoga getaway. This place is just idillic, very secluded, and quiet. If you want to get away and just relax in a peaceful environment, then I highly recommend. The morning yoga was wonderful too, and just helped me switch off and get grounded again. Also the food is just amazing! I can’t praise the staff enough, they are all just beautiful, lovely people.
