A superb place to relax with free meditation classes. Excellent staff too.
The place is located a little bit on the top of the hill, There's a free tuk tuk on-site at sanatha suwaya that Michael or his colleagues run to get you to the place.
A great great place to be at. Superb hospitality.
Peaceful retreat that months after our trip I still remind as a joyful spot in Kandy and Sri Lanka. Michael and the staff are very warm and welcoming and created a very positive vibe and the feeling to be at home. Thank you Michael.
Do not miss few days here together with some ayurveda treatments!
Most beautiful and tranquilizing place in Kandy Simply great. Go there if you want to wind down.
Very quiet and peaceful place. Expect the unavoidable traffic noise, but that is not that much of a annoyance here. Staff is friendly and helpful. A great place to relax for a couple of days.
We stayed at Sanatha Sawaya for 3 nights - it was a wonderful stay! Everyone there is so helpful and kind and we got to know them whilst we were there. The rooms are lovely, clean and have a wonderful view! It’s so peaceful and there are lovely areas to sit and enjoy the beautiful views and sounds of nature. Morning meditation was wonderful :)
We would recommend anyone to stay here if they’re in Kandy! It’s further out from the city which is great since the city is very busy and loud.
Very kind and attentive hosts who will help you out whenever they can. Whether it is advice on what to see or where to eat or arranging the bus or train to your next stop.
The breakfast was so delicious and the rooms were very clean and beautiful. We slept very well with nothing but the sounds of nature surrounding us. We also enjoyed the meditation in the morning and the option to use their rooftop place for a workout.
It is a bit far out of the city but that’s rather positive than negative if you want to catch a good night of sleep.
Really great experience and we will definitely be back some time in the future. Thank you for everything :)
Perfect place for relaxation. The views from the place are amazing. Very peaceful rooms and excellent varied breakfast. Staff very helpful.
If you want to unwind your mind and relax from every day life this is the perfect place as you will be located high on a mountain. WiFi connection was very poor in rooms. Accommodation is connected via a steep road which make it very difficult for our driver to go up with the car and even for us when we wanted to go out for a walk we always had to pay for transport. Rooms are a bit small and with poor lighting. Breakfast was delicious and host was helpful.
Absolutely beautiful location. The meditation class was informative and relaxing - we were so grateful for the experience. Great staff, great atmosphere and a lovely breakfast too!
Great place with very kind people. They will help with anything you need or want. The view from the hotel is amazing. Its a bit outside of town but with a tuc tuc its easy to reach.
Sanatha Suwaya is really an adobe of calm & peace. I have visited the place several times and every single time i am drenched with a sense of peace. What i really like about sanatha Suwaya is, as a local, the rates are very affordable and I too could enjoy the services that Sanatha Suwaya has to provide. Often mind and body wellness centres around SL cater more to the expat community but here they cater to the locals too. both cohorts get the highest quality service. This is a 10/5 stars place ;P
Been all over the world searching for places just like this. The combination of deep and simple spiritual practice, amazing teachers and care takers, monks but no religion, incredible mountaintop views and refuge but moments from the city vibe of Kandy, it's the perfect combo. This is my #1 choice for a place of rest, spiritual practice, a writing retreat or simply some sacred time out for time in. Your host Michael will blow your mind with his generous spirit and compassionate vibe This place is the real deal. 1,2,3, go!
I spent an inspiring 10 days in this beautiful wooded setting. The accommodations are clean, modern, and comfortable. The large windows and generous private deck is truly a place to get your zen on. The health conscious food and setting, yoga classes and study sessions provided me with a great spiritual uplifting experience to take back to my day to day life.
