Nestled in the serene hills just above Sri Lanka’s cultural capital, Kandy, lies Sanatha Suwaya—a tranquil retreat center thoughtfully designed with meditation and yoga at its heart. The center is guided by Michael, a kind and gentle teacher whose favorite shirt, emblazoned with “Loving Kindness,” perfectly reflects his approach to life. Originally from the United States, Michael now proudly calls Sri Lanka home, bringing a deep sense of care and attentiveness to every guest’s experience.
The open-air meditation hall, perched above lush treetops, invites you to immerse yourself in self-practice or join the peaceful guided morning meditations. Ascend another level, and you'll find the stunning yoga shala, where the breathtaking surroundings make it effortless to elevate your practice.
Sanatha Suwaya offers both structured retreats and nightly stays, making it accessible to all. The accommodations are clean, safe, and modern, offered at an incredibly affordable rate—an appealing option for budget-conscious travelers and backpackers seeking a sanctuary beyond traditional hostels.
Your stay includes a delicious breakfast and access to inviting common areas, perfect for unwinding and connecting with others amidst the retreat’s natural beauty.
