    Although the architecture and the aesthetic concept of the place are fantastic and unique, there are parts of the property that could use a revamp. Also, you should expect many insects in the room because you are in the jungle.

    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.

    Step through the ornate antique doors of Samadhi Centre and enter a peaceful jungle paradise, a place to reconnect with yourself. A pretty stream runs through the property, where rooms, dining hall and treatment centre are set on a steep hillside, Beautifully designed and furnished with antique pieces. the rooms are lovely. The food is absolutely incredible and i had the best massage of my entire life. The staff took such great care of us and it was a blissful stay. A special spot where all you need to do is be.

    I think it is overpriced. Because the vast majority of people won’t have transport and will be well away from any other options. They have inflated the prices. The cost of a massage is about the same price as London. The cost of food is more than almost anything else we paid. Even when trying to organise transport, it was over 2 1/2 times more expensive than the Uber/PickMe we ended up getting. The whole place is actually quite rundown as well. More rundown than the pictures suggest. They love talking about how the area was designed by a failed architect, whilst it’s nice it’s not particularly architecturally significant. Some nice older pieces and antiques are around, but nothing, particularly special. food was fine. Again, nothing like everyone else seems to think, and if this is the most amazing meal you have in Sri Lanka, then I feel disappointed for you. Not much variety either, we basically had the same thing three days in a row for lunch and dinner.

    Beautiful location in the forest of Candy, but a long way from the city. That is I guess what you really want. Lovely 20 minute walk to idyllic, waterfalls, and very quiet.

    The Samadhicentre is so unique, unlike anywhere I’ve ever been, it was quite an experience. I loved the location, nestled in the mountain jungle the centre has a very peaceful and tranquil feel. Wandering around is a delight, the decor is so unusual and cool, the yoga shala and meditation area is particularly special, very powerful. The staff were amazing so friendly, kind and attentive. The food was delicious! The aryuvedic treatment was incredible. Just outside of the centre there is a glorious waterfall, the hotel dogs walked me there and kept guard for me as I swam lol it was so special. I highly recommend this place! It’s a little bit of out of Kandy and when you first arrive you may be unsure, but after settling in you won’t want to leave.

    What an amazing place, the property is so unique. You have to be there to experience it, very nice to wind down and relax. The staff was so friendly and always went out of their way to make sure I was comfortable. Delicious food and nice ayurvedic treatments available. I loved being around the property to do yoga, swim in the river and just chill.

    Everything was excellent, it was like a magical fairytale. I did not expect to enjoy it like that, I found the most beautiful place with amazing people. If you are looking for treatment then this is the place where you should go, it is in the forest with very nice waterfalls and with amazing accommodations. Near the complex is also the hill with the temple where you can go for a walk. I had a body massage and it was the best massage that I had, I was also in yoga class and it was also super nice. All people who I met there were so friendly and nice that I did not believe that is possible to find a place like this. The staff did me a tour around and they showed me some hidden spots like waterfalls etc. The food was delicious and for sure in the future, I will want to come back there again and I hope that I will have the chance to see them again.

    I really loved the Samadhicentre. As I kept traveling, this is what I would recommend to others. The repurposed antiques make it a really special place, the owners are so open, and I had an aryuveda full body massage that was amazing. I was looking for introspection and rest and found it here.

    There is nothing I didn't like. I left only with one comment, which I gave to the owner. I suggested providing the disposable underwear for Ayurvedic treatments for the guests, and I'm sure it will be considered.

    It was the best decision to visit this beautiful, unique, and antique place before the New Year. The place where you can totally reconnect with nature and your true self. The peace you feel at Samadhi brings you to total rest and rejuvenation. The staff is incredibly friendly and treats you like family. I'm grateful to all these amazing people who did really take care of me and provided me with interesting experiences and sightseeing. The food, which is cooked on real fire, is so authentic and delicious. I did Ayurvedic treatment at Samadhi, and it was my first experience. It was not easy for me, I must say 🤣. But the support I was given from all the team members definitely made me go through this easier. The Ayurvedic doctor is real professional with a great sense of humor, which made me laugh, and at the same time, I knew I was in good hands. You must meet the owner of this hotel, Mr. Waruna. You won't regret it. Those deep conversations we had, I will never forget. I will definitely be coming back, and I highly recommend this place to all the travelers who are looking for rejuvenation.

    If you want to relax & rejuvenate yourself, this is the only place in Sri Lanka. We traveled intensively in Sri Lanka but we got amazingly surprised at the Kandy Samadhi center. We got treated like royalty. The environment is very calm and mind-blowing. The staff was amazing & super friendly. Ayurveda treatments & Yoga were the best in the world & highly recommended. The food made from organic vegetables grown in the resort's garden creates special interest. After two years of waiting without traveling Because of the covid-19, this was the best happened to us. Thank you Samadhi team!
