Sama Retreats - Kosgoda

Sama Retreat is an absolute gem of a place. The grounds are huge with lovely gardens, and the stunning beach is only steps away. All of the staff were brilliant, welcoming and friendly. There are two choices for breakfast - western or Sri Lankan, we tried both and they were delicious and plentiful. The spa is amazing and I was very impressed with the two treatments I enjoyed there -a facial and a massage. Extremely professional spa staff in a very clean, hygienic and beautiful setting. The sounds of nature and running water was the best sound back drop I have ever experienced during spa treatment, and who would have thought a stint in the steam room after the massage would be so magnificent! We booked Sama Retreat as a treat for my birthday and we are very glad we did. What a relaxing and peaceful way to begin our tour of Sri Lanka. Thank you :)

The menu is a bit limited, especially for those such as us who don't eat fish or seafood. But what we did try from the menu was generous and delicious.

Everything. It is a phenomenal place. Something like this place is what you always dream about as a traveller, but never really get. And then you arrive at Sama. The Beach is a dream, the retreat feels like its luxery in the middel of the jungle.

Nothing at all.

Wonderfully magical in every sense.

Service is really good. They care of the clients and make sure we were happy and good :)!

Amazing 👏 such a unique place, we fall in love

Maybe the food can be better. Also, the restaurant should be moved to the beach front or somewhere, as it's a little stucking in the middle of the site

I’m very sad to leave this review as the stay at the hotel was actually very nice and the location is spectacular BUT they double charged me and promised to pay me back but I have been trying to get my money back for a month now and they stopped replying my messages!! I’ve contacted Hotels.com also but the customer service has not been helpful. I’ve never had any issues like this and I’m deeply sad about how this hotel stole my money

The staff were so attentive, helpful and caring towards our stay. They made us feel very welcome and comfortable. The private pool was amazing overlooking the sea, plenty of wildlife around to immerse yourself in. Sanjeewa’s cocktails were fantastic, he is a very talented mixologist. It was our 2nd wedding anniversary and they went above and beyond when finding this out with a private dinner with fireflies around us as well as a birthday cake made on the day! The couples oil massage was incredible and was such a great experience!

A beautiful tranquil retreat in a hideaway setting, with the most amazing quiet beach I have visited in Sri Lanka. The retreat offers so many opportunities to relax and unwind from the daily yoga sessions which were an amazing way to start the day. We opted for the couples package which I highly recommend, the massages were the best we have experienced. The restaurant staff were all so friendly and couldn't do enough to make our stay enjoyable. A special mention to Wijay and his team and the chefs came out every day to make sure we were happy with their food. Fabian was great company during our stay and Molly and Shae are always there with anything needed. We loved our fisherman's cottage and the rustic interior. All in all we would definitely return and recommend to anyone looking for a relaxing retreat.

Just with the couples package needed to be clarified exactly what was offered everyday.
