  Great atmosphere, great food. The place is unique, it requires some good physical condition as there is a 5 minutes steep uphill path to the room (there are a few rooms that are middway though). Not suitable for non nature lovers. There are several insects as you are basically in the jungle. The food was of the best we had in Sri Lanka. The yoga sessions are very nice (07:30 or 08:00), the best location for yoga! There is a free doctor consultation before the massage, but we had the feeling that the doctor simply advises the most expensive option. The sirodhara massage was great, the full body massage was also nice, but not the best i had. Overall it was a great experience in Samadhi and disconnection from the rest of the world, plan to stay away from everything and stay for sure one whole day here. I would just advise a bit more maintenance in some communal spaces (such as the "library") or the windows and parts of the rooms. The staff was also very very kind and friendly.

  This is as close to heaven as it gets my friends. Very strong vibration from madre tiera here. Strong, still and alive. If I lived nearby I would visit every weekend. Time completely detached and committed to reconnecting to nature is no longer a luxury but a necessity these days. It's a great place to go to renew all the qualities in life that matter most. Which are often those we neglect the most. It is a living meditation. Perfect for inward reflections (and also plenty of organised physical activity options as well as doctor supervised, tailored ayurveda plans). If you are similar to me and prefer trees to people, go here. If you are not like me at all, and haven't spent time looking at trees in years or maybe your life, you need to visit Samadhi most. You can stay connected via wi fi and will probably end up loving it the most. I would deem Samadhi deeply nourishing. I think it gives each guest exactly what they need. The pure harmony of the dwellings with the environment and the imagination and simplicity and understated artfulness of each unique room demonstrated to me, nothing short of pure devotion of the creator, a prayer. Honestly mind blowing pieces of art and a rare gift, enhanced further by the music of the river as a backdrop heard from everywhere and running through the sanctuary. I visited only a few days but left with profound clarities and for me, well I received a much needed remembering that devotion is my favourite word and simply what I want most. If I could create anything in my dreams, it would be precisely this. Thank you Waruna.

  Very nice but don't take a room when you're alone (a scary experience by night). Don't forget that by night there is no light so don't go fare from your room (rooms are not located in the same place as the restaurant, but up in the forest. Also don't forget you bottle of water, if you want to drink clean one.

  We are an American family living in Kandy for six months and have been back to the Kandy Samadhi Centre three times to enjoy lunch and swimming with guests and friends. It is an amazing location. Perfect for enjoying nature and swimming with children. While we never spent the night, the rooms look incredible. This is the most tranquil setting we have found in the country and one destination we will miss the most once we leave.
