Samaya Waters

Komfort

Small and clean, with plenty of space in the lovingly maintained garden. The covered open-air stage by the lakeside is a wonderful place to exercise and meditate. The rooms are simple and clean, with good, clean mattresses and air conditioning.

Family-run and deeply kind.

The treatments were carried out after a consultation and determination of my dosha type. They are intensive and profound. I began to feel the effects on my specific problem after about five days.

The very intensive change from a standard German diet to an Ayurvedic vegan/vegetarian or ovolacto-vegetarian diet was made easier by alternating curries. Every day, there were also incredibly flavourful fruits.

There is no spa or pool. The treatment rooms with their massage tables are well ventilated and smell lovely. The steam room and the herbal bath are in a delightful room overlooking the garden. Birds and squirrels come by while you relax with herbal tea.

The property has a simple elegance and sits harmoniously within its natural surroundings. All the facilities are of a high standard, and everything has been thoughtfully designed and arranged. Cleanliness and comfort are maintained throughout. And if you do find something missing, they really will do everything they can to meet your needs.

The staff’s dedication, helpfulness and warmth are second to none, even though I’ve travelled extensively around the world, especially for work.

As well as an initial and a final consultation with the doctor, there were daily consultations, after which she adjusted the treatments as needed. There were so many different types of baths (including steam baths!), massages, oil treatments and cleansing treatments – in my case, even acupuncture for my knee – that every day brought a full programme of effective, enjoyable and relaxing treatments, tailored to me. Alongside the yoga sessions in the morning and evening and the time set aside purely for relaxation, there was still plenty of time for excursions and evening walks, which rounded off the whole experience for me.

Every meal was a feast for the senses, and healthy too! The meals were always freshly prepared and often included local fruit and vegetables. They were so varied that there was hardly any repetition, even over almost two weeks! It was especially lovely that they showed us unfamiliar ingredients and explained what they were. Apart from the requirements associated with the treatments, individual requests were also catered for.

The spa, with its well-ventilated treatment rooms finished in dark brown wood, was an invitation to relax completely. The scent of the oils and the seemingly endless supply of towels and accessories made the treatments especially pleasant. To rest, you could lie on loungers by the river and were served tea and freshly squeezed papaya, mango or aloe vera juice. And when temperatures became unusually high for the time of year, the treatments were moved straight into the paradisiacal garden, which was so large that privacy was still assured.

Immaculately kept, with cosy, light rooms and a beautiful garden. The friendly staff anticipate your every need.

Absolutely excellent! The guest always comes first.

As I said, the treatments are hard to beat. The owners also offer individual excursions in the hotel’s own tuk-tuk or car. You only have to say what you’d like to do. Otherwise, Jay and Theshan will come up with something lovely. For example, we had a wonderful raft ride on the lake, meditation with a monk and a trip to Secret Island, visited a batik farm and a temple, etc.

Dosha-appropriate Ayurvedic food, freshly prepared every day using ingredients from local smallholders. Everyone gets an individually cooked meal, and the chef is fantastic.

Great massage, with several hours of treatments every day. Not too gentle, but not rough either. Fantastic doctor who also does yoga and breathing exercises. Really dedicated, and there’s a treatment for every health problem.
