Writing There are places you visit… and then there are places that quietly become a part of you. The Samadhi Centre is firmly the latter. From the moment I arrived, I felt as though I had stepped into a sanctuary where time softens and everything aligns—body, mind, and spirit. The setting alone is breathtaking: yoga sessions surrounded by lush greenery, the gentle chorus of birdsong, and the soothing sound of rushing water in the background. It’s the kind of environment that makes you instantly exhale. The experience, however, is what truly elevates this place into something extraordinary. The massages with Priyani were, without exaggeration, the best I have ever had in my life—deeply intuitive, restorative, and profoundly healing. Each session felt like it was tailored not just to my body, but to my entire being. And then there is Dr. Shani—brilliant, insightful, and wonderfully encouraging. Her depth of knowledge in Ayurveda is matched only by her warmth and ability to uplift. Every conversation with her left me feeling more informed, more balanced, and more inspired. Six days here felt far too short. The Samadhi Centre isn’t just a retreat—it’s a home from home, a place I already long to return to. If you’re searching for somewhere that nourishes you on every level, this is it.

“Wonderful tour guide”

This is a fantastic place. It is very rural, quiet, many km from Kandy, wonderfully isolated in jungly mountains.

This is a fantastic place. It is very rural, quiet, many km from Kandy, wonderfully isolated in jungly mountains. There are many (25?) rooms, each with individual decor and antique furniture, some large, some huge, some small. It took me a while to appreciate the existence of this place, and to realise how little it matters if the lighting in your room is imperfect, or the loo seat a bit broken. The service is impeccable- Vimukthi runs the place with as friendly and welcoming manner as possible. The very lovely Doctor (Shanika), is trained in Ayurvedic medicine and takes the yoga sessions. Delicious Sri Lankan food- ask the waiters to explain the ingredients, it's a lesson that food can be so thought through. Vimukthi is an excellent tour guide, who pitches his information perfectly. He took me round the local village, to the temple, and to the waterfall nearby. He was a mine of knowledge, expressed well.
