Samadhi Nature Resort in Ella

Surrounded by spice trees, fruit trees and a variety of flowers that also bring in the bird life, Samadhi Nature Resort is nestled away from the main road. The famous Nine Arches bridge and Little Adams Peak are only a short walk away, and there are also good restaurants nearby. The rooms are clean and comfortable with a spacious balcony to enjoy the view. The included breakfast was excellent, with fresh roti, dahl curry, fruits and excellent coffee. Would definitely stay here again.

This place is very relaxed and it's close to the main tourist attractions of Ella. The owners are really friendly and rooms are big with kingsize beds and clean bathroom. Price isn't expensive.

Nice place, big rooms and set within a nice jungle. Great location for the small walks of little Adam's Peak and the Nine Arch Bridge. Close enough to the town to stumble home after a drink or two. Friendly owners as always in Sri Lanka, left us to ourselves though which was nice.

Our stay at Samadhi Nature Resort was one of the highlights to our holiday in Sri Lanka. I'd highly recommend that anyone visiting Ella or the surrounding area chooses this lovely place. It's not really a resort us such but more a small family-run guesthouse in an attractive old/colonial-style building - with high ceilings, tasteful decor, clean airy rooms. There's a small surrounding garden, where they have taken care to maintain old trees, cinnamon plants etc. One of our favourite things to do during our stay was just sitting on the balcony/verandah area outside our room, listening to the tropical birds and taking in the views of the surrounding Ella hills. In terms of the decor and the ambience alone, it already felt like good value for the very reasonable price we were paying. But what makes this place really stand out is the excellent service we received from our lovely hosts, Tharindu and his mother - which consistently went above and beyond. They are such sweet people, and were clearly anxious to know their guests were having a good time. We found they were always available to give us helpful advice when we needed it/help us arrange trips in the surrounding area. Also worth noting that their neighbour has a tuk-tuk and was happy to take us on short- and long-distance trips around the area at pretty short notice - which was convenient. And the food...oh my goodness the food. The breakfast (cooked by Tharindu's mother) was outstanding - and she is also happy to prepare dinner too on request, which was equally excellent (a huge range of curries and Sri Lankan dishes, always giant portions). With the exception of one night where there was a power cut in the local area, we always chose to have dinner at the guesthouse because why would you not when the food is this good!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay @ Samadhi Nature Resort. Tucked into the side of the hill amongst tall trees and nature. Very friendly, welcoming and serves delicious and an abundance amount of food. Beautiful and comfortable room.

I had stayed at the beginning of 2024. I spend my trip days very freely. With natural air I feel like a heaven. They have big rooms with large balconies. Staff is also very friendly and supportive. They help us to find out some uncommon beautiful plces to visit in ella also. I can't forget the taste of their meals. Samadhi nature resort is the best hotel when you focusing mainly about the freedom and the food. Little Adams peek and 9 arches are very near to here. So it was very easy to me to save money from tuks. If I come again Ella with our family. Exactly I will come this hotel again.
