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.

Freedom in Ella

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.

Clean and quiet place

Wonderful & Safe place to stay

You will want to stay here, when you visit Ella. The family run hotel is the greatest. They helped us find our ways around the trails ( Little Adams peak, Nine arch bridge - both within walking distance) so we didn’t need a guide . The rooms were very Nice, clean, Big and we had a great view from our terrasse. The family was so so Nice and they make a great breakfast. It is within walking distance from the city center with little on the road side.

The best stay in Ella

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!

Wonderful hosts and excellent value

Very welcoming and friendly host. 
We asked for traditional dinner and she made that for out 9 people group, so delicious. Amazing breakfast. Clean rooms, amazing nature around, walking distance to the center. Def will come again 💛

Feels like home

Wonderful family, beautiful property. Far enough away from the city center but close enough to walk. It is near some great spots to eat and near the trail head for little Adam's peak and the 9 Arch bridge.


Perfect little spot to chill and explore

Enjoyed our one night here. Location just fabulous and is at the start of the walk up to Little Adams’s Peak (took us 30 mins each way).  Dinner down the road at Adam’s Breeze was fine - just a two mins walk away. We stayed in one of two chalets next to each other and it was pristine with your own terrace to sit out and enjoy the view. Breakfast was good.  Felt it was a little overpriced versus the value but it was good to be out of the town itself which seemed overrun with restaurants and coffee shops. Dom and Clint were very welcoming. 

Amazing Vistas

Samadhi resort is a quiet and nice place. The rooms are simples but have all what we need to have a good night. Musquitos net, towels, covers, big beds...
The breakfast is excellent.
The lady who is managing the hotel is a really kind and helpful person that make sure everything is ok.
THe hotel is only five minutes from the crazy center of Ella.
Thank you for the stay there!

Simple, confortable and friendly place

We treated ourselves to 4 nights here and it is amazing.
The room is very clean and spacious with a great shower and air con. It is beautifully decorated with lots of little extra touches. Sitting on the terrace and enjoying the amazing views is wonderful. 
Dom is a super host who has created a special place. All the staff are very polite, friendly and helpful. The breakfasts are great.
Everywhere we have stayed on our trip has been great but The One Ella is very special.
Thank you.
