Satori – A stunning holiday villa & retreat

High on a hill, overlooking the lush contours and soft sand beaches of Southern Sri Lanka, Satori Retreat offers a gentle and inspiring natural environment in which to find your centre. Whether you’re coming to have a relaxing holiday with friends and family, or to lead or participate in a retreat, Satori is the perfect space to unwind, uplift and inspire. Our beautiful sanctuary at the jungle’s edge offers tranquility, natural energy and excellent facilities. Three luxurious villas in frangipani-perfumed gardens offer peace and privacy, as well as plenty of room for group activity. Satori’s most precious gift is its unique energy - we created it as a home-from-home, and this is reflected in the attention to detail, the warmth and grace of our staff and the quiet beauty that permeates it throughout. Rich in spirit and sensory pleasures, Satori is quite simply a retreat to paradise. For retreats, the Satori space can be configured to suit any programme, using our open-sided Garden Villa room as a cinema room, classroom or communal dining room. Food is vibrant, local and full of life and we can cater for all programmes including raw and juice cleanses. At the land’s highest point we have a yoga shala for 15 students overlooking the paddy fields and out to the ocean, and a massage space with a traditional Ayurvedic massage table.

Some mornings are better up here.

Perched above the jungle, Satori’s hilltop yoga shala looks out towards the ocean, the kind of place where you can stretch, breathe and forget what time it is.

Ready to experience it for yourself?

Three buildings. One hilltop. Jungle all around.

A Dutch-colonial main house, a Balinese-inspired villa, and another wrapped in passion fruit vines.

The whole place is yours, fully staffed and made for eight to fifteen guests.

A private hilltop escape to switch off, breathe a little deeper and stay a little longer. Wellness isn’t a schedule here; it’s just the way the villa makes you feel.
