About
At Ashram Sri Lanka, our tranquil retreat is more in-line with the Ashrams of the past. We offer simplicity. We offer a clean and peaceful space. Our Ashram is nestled in a beautiful environment, surrounded by nature in all its magnificence, with fields of greenery and flowers that envelop the senses. We share in nature’s space. We nurture our environment and show it compassion. We believe that our oneness with ourselves and our shared environment ultimately connects to the larger universe and beyond. A retreat with us will provide you with the time and space you need for introspection, reflection, contemplation and meditation. The ultimate aim of meditation is to seek freedom from the wheel of ‘sansara’ – the cycle of birth and death. Even though it is a difficult task, it can be obtained through effort and dedication. And if one aspires to achieve spiritual growth and its benefits through serious meditation Ashram Sir Lanka is the place for you.

    Life changing experience
    I went to the Ashram to just rest for a few days, but ended up staying for six weeks and having a really life changing experience. It’s a wonderful little place in the middle of the jungle. Perfect for spending time by yourself, meditating, doing yoga, or even just chilling. I couldn’t recommend it highly enough.
    Thanks brother luca...we too very happy about the time with you in the ashram ...please come home when you free...

    One of the most special weeks of my life
    Thank you for an amazing stay. It was a very special time for me, exactly what I needed. Away from the material items of the world. Deep in the jungle, with time to think, read, meditate, and do yoga. I felt just at home too. I will be back. Harry
    Thanks brother Harry...im waiting to see you soon...

    The best place for meditation and yoga. A very beautiful and peaceful place. You will get complete peace of mind.
    I spent 3 weeks in the ashram. And I can say that this is the best place on earth. This place will become your home. You will feel oneness with nature, you will enjoy delicious traditional Sri Lanka food, do yoga and meditation in a beautiful shala yoga. You will get complete peace of mind in the ashram with a positive atmosphere all around. The environment inside is splendid, one should visit to free ur mind & to know the aspect of life! Sam is a very good person, he will always help you and share his experience. living in an ashram is a very cool experience. If you want to know Sri Lanka better you have to come to the ashram 100%

    Happy place
    I am very grateful that Sam created this place, a place to feel at home. Sam is such a kind and warm person who perceives each person in his own way. Ashram is a place in the middle of nature perfect to relax, meditate and do yoga. I loved being there and waking up in the half open rooms with sun.
    Thanks for your excellent comments my sister... i will look after our home tell you come soon

    I spent 3 days in the Ashram and I was very very happy! This place in the jungle is a paradise. I have sunk into deep meditation and felt this inner peace, which is so important to me in life. Thank you Sam for this great time in your Ashram! I hope i can come back soon! My dream of living in the jungle forever is about to come true...

    a place of peace and relaxation
    I was in the ashram again in December. A lot has happened there since my last visit. the yoga house is finished. Close to the meditation place, it is somewhat separated in a very quiet and relaxing environment. the main house has now got a new terrace. Built over the old terrace you have a wonderful view over the forest. There are loungers there for resting as well as small work tables for working on the PC, for example. the rooms have now got new roofs. So there is always something moving and so the ashram continues to develop. what has remained the same is the fantastic food. and Sam is just a wonderful person

    Lot‘s of love in the jungle
    This is just such an amazing place with such amazing people! I went there feeling a little lost in life and I am leaving with so much love and acceptance. I feel like words can’t really describe what I felt there… you just have to experience it yourself. :)

    In the midst of it all, with silence the answer arrives.
    I flower blooms, the ashram shines. It‘s vibrant outreach into the world aligned with the inner peace state. Marvelous space creation by Sam & the people of the Ashram! A place that is given for you, me, them, us. For all to explore within different realms. The natural building approach & it‘s down to earth lifestyle is perfect for anyone who is looking to retrieve into the woods. Connecting with oneself is given if your able to listen inside, bonding with the people of the ashram is also an everlasting opportunity to get to know cultures and new perspectives. One of my ‚will be back‘ places for sure. Truly in awe and admiration for this creation & the care during my stay. Thank you thank you thank you. :) with Love, Nangi Irena

A small paradise in the jungle, quiet and peaceful.
Food is delicious ! Sam is a great cook and a very interesting person, he is very welcoming and will make you feel at home immediately.
The accommodation is basic but it's lovely to wake up with the sound of the birds in the early morning.
It's the perfect place to rest and take some time to reconnect with yourself. I had a great time there and I met very nice and interesting people.

Had an amazing time. Initially booked for two weeks, but end up staying more than one month. When you start really experiencing the slow living and free life, it’s very hard to get out of that place :) I feel extremely grateful to have had that time just to be, to be present, to breathe, and to appreciate how wonderful simple life can be. I found home, very far from original home, and for sure I will always go back to this new home. Thank you Aya and never forget, LLW💙

I loved this place for the peace mostly because it's what I was looking for. Sam is a very welcoming personn who will teach you a lot if you take time to talk with him. Everything here is a question of taking your time and feel life. The atmosphere here is beautiful but has to be respected. It means: Switch of your phone, switch of you mind, appreciate nature, deep conversations and the beautiful meals.
I loved the rooms also, which are open air space and very original, but be aware that it's not 5 stars confort, so if you're looking for that, go to an other place :)

Very relaxing place, beautiful nature, host is very warm and will go great lengths to look after you. So nice to be off the beaten tourist track too. A place to unwind and return to your roots. Everyone is family. You will feel a real sense of community here. And the food is amazing. Cannot recommend this place enough, great value for the price.
