Samadhi Soul Retreat in detail

Hotel

Samadhi Soul Retreat in Bentota is a welcoming sanctuary for those seeking peace, depth and inner transformation. With just five rooms, it offers an intimate atmosphere centred on mindfulness, trust and meaningful connection. The small number of guests allows for genuine one-to-one support: founder Christine Hein has worked with energy and the body for over 20 years, tailoring her approach to each guest. Surrounded by tropical gardens and a pool, and close to Bentota Lake and the sea, the retreat invites you to slow down and reconnect with yourself. The beach is a 20-minute walk or a 5-minute drive away by tuk-tuk or on the complimentary bicycles. Yoga, meditation, energy work and chakra cleansing come together in a holistic experience. Freshly prepared vegetarian Sri Lankan cuisine completes your stay. A place for those who want not simply to travel, but to arrive with intention.

Philosophy & Approach

Samadhi Soul Retreat is guided by the belief that change happens quietly, not loudly, and needs time, calm and personal support. Founder Christine Hein puts this philosophy into her own words:

"I believe real change happens quietly, steadily and deeply within. I support people in stepping away from patterns that hold them back, and in rethinking success as both an outcome and a process of growth. I didn't study change; I've lived it, with all its detours. I share that experience so others can find their way to themselves sooner. It isn't a loud force that changes the world, but a penetrating strength that endures."

Location & Surroundings

Samadhi Soul Retreat is located in Bentota, a well-known coastal town on Sri Lanka’s south-west coast. The region is characterised by long sandy beaches, tropical vegetation and its distinctive position between the Indian Ocean and the Bentota River. Bentota therefore combines a peaceful beach atmosphere with a wealth of nature experiences.

Food & Drink

Samadhi Soul Retreat serves three freshly prepared vegetarian meals each day. The cuisine is typically Sri Lankan, aromatic and lovingly prepared. Ingredients are selected fresh from the market each day and made into nourishing, balanced dishes. Each meal becomes a mindful moment to savour. The resort is committed to the highest quality drinking water: its own reverse osmosis system filters the water on site to produce exceptionally pure drinking water.

Health & Cures

At Samadhi Soul Retreat, holistic massages and energy work complement the retreat’s spiritual focus. Personal health and nutrition advice offers guidance on your individual constitution, diet and lifestyle. A full-body massage with warm oils invites you to relax physically, let go and feel more grounded. The energy treatments focus on subtle energies and inner processes. Chakra work centres on becoming more aware of the body’s energy centres. It offers a gentle way to acknowledge blockages, tension and emotional concerns, and to find greater inner clarity. Metamorphosis uses gentle touch on specific reflex points, offering an energetic impulse for personal growth and change.

The treatment room is in a separate building, creating a particularly peaceful and private atmosphere. Curtains can be drawn around the rooms for privacy, or opened towards nature, allowing you to experience the light, fresh air and natural surroundings directly.

Fitness & Sports

Samadhi Soul Retreat offers Hatha yoga, Kundalini yoga, meditation and pranayama. Breath, movement and mindfulness come together in a practice that can benefit body, mind and soul alike. It is not about perfection, but about being aware, letting go and arriving in the here and now. Yoga brings stability and lightness, while meditation and breathing exercises support inner calm, clarity and presence. This creates a quiet space in which to connect more deeply with yourself and become more attuned to your own balance. Yoga classes are taught in English.

The yoga space is on a first-floor balcony surrounded by nature. During practice, it feels almost as though you are outdoors: the first rays of sunshine accompany the morning sessions, while the soft moonlight lends the space a special atmosphere in the evening. This peaceful, beautiful setting creates a natural connection with the surroundings and invites you to experience mindfulness, stillness and inner calm in a special way.

Leisure

The outdoor pool and tropical garden invite you to relax and linger. Complimentary bicycles are available, and a tuk-tuk can take you to the beach. Retreats often include a range of activities. You can also arrange individual excursions and activities on site. Nearby, you can enjoy boat trips along the river, explore mangrove landscapes, try water sports and visit temples.
