Retreat, Full Board US$50-$80 per night
Organic vegetarian home cooking
All home grown organic vegetables, Sri Lankan and European herb collection
Samadhi is owned by Waruna Jayasinghe, who has turned a piece of jungle into a small, perfectly balanced micro kingdom which supplies all the creature comforts for your retreat. Breakfast, taken in the dining pavilion open on four sides to the forest and the river sounds, is sumptuous by any standard. Steamed manioc with grated coconut, gotukola mallun, egg curry, pumpkin, sambol and milk rice are preceded by home grown pineapple, papaya and guava. All the food prepared at Samadhi is organic and freshly picked before each meal. It is vegetarian cookery at its best. The rice you eat is home grown, and is one of thirteen ancient Sinhala varieties organically farmed in the paddy fields across the river.
