The property Samadhi is owned by antique dealer and organic farmer manqué, Waruna Jayasinghe, erstwhile hippy, who has turned a piece of jungle into a small, perfectly balanced micro-kingdom which supplies you with all the creature comforts for your retreat. He started building his dream child during a particularly hectic time in his life, while running Antique shops in two cities, – with authentic Kandyan antiques and Medieval Sinhalese artifacts. The inspiration for the design and architecture was born of meditation. And so you willingly leave your city husk behind at the gates…with no signal for mobile phones, it is the perfect opportunity to let nothing interrupt the sounds of forest birdsong, of tree frogs and crickets and the whisper of the breeze from the trees. Accommodation The 13 pavilions, which lean out of the hillside, are veritable temples of tranquility. They are designed to make you feel you are the only person staying here. Privacy is everything. Yet there are no unnecessary walls. This results in a truly serene environment surrounded by urns, art and treasures dating back to a time Kandy was a Royal realm. Here everything is king-sized. The Indonesian teak bed in a double room is spacious enough to sleep three people comfortably. But even the smallest suite provides a four-poster bed to dream in.
