Sama Retreats

Sama Retreats is a hidden gem that offers a truly personalized experience. The food was exceptional—easily one of the highlights of my stay. Instead of a fixed menu, you speak directly with the chef, share your preferences, and each meal is thoughtfully crafted based on what’s fresh and in season, especially the seafood. Every dish felt like it was made just for me. The staff were warm, attentive, and made me feel like a VIP from start to finish. The property itself is stunning—beautifully rustic with natural pools to swim in and decor that blends effortlessly with the surrounding nature. It’s the perfect mix of comfort, charm, and authenticity. Highly recommend for anyone looking to unwind, eat well, and enjoy a truly curated escape.

Sama retreats has zen-like atmosphere in a tropical heaven. The best hotel staff imaginable. Our room was clean all the time. We really enjoyed the local healthy food! Location was perfect, its secluded area was so big that you can get lost in the hotel. Also very peaceful beachfront. I would highly recommend it for anyone looking for a quiet escape in a beautiful setting. The yoga studio was magical. Ayurvedic spa/ massages were deeply relaxing. Thank you for everything!

I spent 6 nights at Sama Retreat as part of a wonderful Yoga Retreat. I have been to many retreats alone in the last 3 years and this was by far the most luxurious. Beautiful room with a sea view and the food was amazing and so healthy. The staff are so friendly and helpful, the beach is beautiful…what more do you need!

Incredible place and teams! The hotel is very respectful of the environment, it is intimate and very peaceful. Everywhere you look is beautiful. It is perfectly located, the garden opens onto a path to the ocean with a splendid view and the quiet Sound of waves and fresh air. Food is amazing, sane / Ayurvedic and sooooo tasty! All the team members are as discrete as smiling, efficient and benevolent, you feel like at home. The last but clearly not the least, the SPA team, Molly and the Ayurvedic Doctor Achala Da Silva: It is an expérience in its own. One can only appreciates the quiteness of the place (imagine receiving a massage as a Gift while looking the nature and its sounds in front of you in the open!). The listening, care, positive energy and professionalism complete the perfection. As you can understand, a little nest in paradise that one can only but protect, respect and appreciate every second of one’s stay. Ps: for true nature lovers, the turtle rescue center, located between Sama Retreats and the Fishermen’s boat on the Beach, is one in which you will feel the authentic approach of helping and releasing those magnificent creatures. Charith who founded the center is belles by several benevolent people and a dedicated team. They do not try to reach our to you while you walk on the Beach, a treasure you will love to participate in or to sonate for so it can keep being authentic and pure care.

I had the privilege of spending several weeks at Sama, and it’s an experience I’ll cherish forever. From the moment I arrived, I felt completely embraced by the serene atmosphere and the warmth of the team. Every detail, from the stunning Sri Lankan architecture to the amazing people working there, truly made me feel like I was part of something special. The property itself is simply breathtaking. Surrounded by lush nature and located on one of the most peaceful beaches in Sri Lanka, it’s a true hideaway. I loved that the villas are spread out, creating a sense of privacy and tranquility. The beach, which have been quiet and untouched, felt like my own personal paradise. And the pool? Perfect for unwinding after a day of yoga or exploring. Speaking of yoga, the daily sessions were a highlight for me. I took part in the Yoga Teacher Training, and Molly, Pruthvika, Shae and the rest of the team were incredible. Their expertise, care, and passion were truly shone through. I felt supported on my journey, whether I was learning new poses or diving into new knowledge. The food was another standout. Fresh, healthy, and prepared with love every day. I couldn’t get enough of the locally inspired dishes—each meal felt nourishing and delicious. And the service? Unmatched. The staff went above and beyond to make me feel at home! I can’t recommend this retreat enough—if you’re looking for a place to feel home, relax, heal, and reconnect with nature, Sama is the perfect choice.
