This was my second visit and I can't wait to return. It is simply one of the most wonderful places I have stayed at. Waruna has created a beautiful, peaceful environment completely in tune with its setting. Our room had the most breathtaking views of the jungle teeming with amazing birds and wildlife. The traditional Sri Lankan food was superb... More

As with many of the other reviews I've just read, I had a very special stay at the Kandy Samadhi Centre. It's been very thoughtfully and lovingly designed and captures the beauty of its environment in a way that creates an almost magical energy. The food was heavenly; the people who work there incredibly gracious, helpful and down to earth;... More

This was my first visit to the Kandy Samadhi Centre - but I'm sure it won't be my last! It's a wonderful place, with a very gentle and positive energy. Having read the other reviews, it's simple to understand why people stayed much longer than they'd planned - I could very easily have remained much, much longer.... You are truly... More

It is rare in my travels that I go somewhere that I immediately know I will come back to some day. In the case of Samadhi Centre, it was abundantly clear from the moment I set foot on the grounds that my 5 days wouldn't be enough and that I would be itching to come back from the moment I... More

My brother and I came to stay here. We were planing one or two nights and ended up staying for five nights, though we easily could have stayed for weeks, months, or maybe even years! This is one of my favorite places on earth. The energy is VERY good here. Waruna the owner is a wonderful man who deals in... More

I recently returned to the Kandy Samadhi Centre after visiting it in my younger years. I wish I could have fallen madly in love with this place. I wish I visited it later on in my life. I wish I came with someone else that needed a moment of enlightenment with me. I went searching for the connection with nature... More

Its true that this is not a hotel in the traditional sense. Don't even think about it if you like carpets, elevators, cable (in fact any kind of) television, liveried staff, fitness centres and a bar serving 50 different kinds of single malt whiskey. If you are interested in forests and the animals that live in them, if you don't... More

we didn't know quite to expect after driving in the darkness for 1 hour from Kandy, but the second we entered, we knew this was an exceptional place. set in the beautiful Knuckles mountains, the Samadhi is beautifully decorated by its owner, antique dealer Waruna (who has a great shop in Kandy). the lounge/dining room has beautiful antiques, all the...
