I spent four days here on a writer's retreat. I ate, did yoga in the amazing pavillion on top of the mountain, meditated looking out, before and after, over the hills, had I've restoring Ayurvedic massage, slept, and wrote thousands of words per day. Couldnt have been better, really. The food is tasty and local, some of which comes from... More

That was a dream come true. It felt so authentic and rustic, yet so chic! The trip to get there is a real hassle. It's far, difficult to find and to reach. At one stage we had to leave our vehicle to jump on their 4x4 as the road was so bad. We were absolutely knocked down by all the... More

The Kandi Samadhi Center is a true experience to be done when you decide to visit this country. Everything is there: nature, charming house with lot of taste, excellent food and exquisite people. For turists that have travelled a lot a need still to be surprise. It is true that the road is not easy but I wondered whether this... More

I don't disagree with any of the positive reviews of the Samadhi, but sadly the experience wasn't for us. We arrived in the rain, and my wife was suffering with a bad cold, and the very very basic nature of this place was just not what we were after. To reinforce the positive points, the setting is spectacular, the ambience... More

Still the magical place I remembered..The oil lamps,the crickets at night, together with other jungle sounds is incredibly soothing and lulls one to sleep., just sweeps over you. The stunning antiques, the huge rooms makes Samadhi, the perfect 'get away' from the 20th century..IF you hanker for modern gizmos, than best stay away. Samadhi is perfect for trawellers wanting to... More

We thoroughly enjoyed our brief stay at the Samadhi Centre. We got a warm welcome after a rather fraught journey which got us there 2 hours later than planned. Be aware that this place is about 55km outside Kandy. Although the last section of the road is currently in very poor condition, tuk-tuks cope with it OK. But drivers from... More

This amazing resort is approximately 45 minutes outside of Kandy in a charming, traditional village that is convenient to several key sites. The villas incorporate lovely details with a great aesthetic. The food is among the best I have had. It definitely stands out in Sri Lanka. One should indulge in yoga, massage and ayurvedic treatments while there, and definitely... More

We chose at the Samadhi Resort because of the rave reviews it received on Tripadvisor. We spent 3 nights there - cost $450 (approximately £300) for a double room on a full board basis. I want to write a fair and balanced review of the resort not just slip into a rant. So let me start with the positives: Friendly... More

The room we had was absolutely fantastic. We stayed in an apartment at the top of the complex which was fantastic. The food can only be described as amazing. The staff couldn't have been nicer to us. We were brought on a lovely walk to the waterfall which we really enjoyed. More
