sixty rooms, twelve large suites and four family rooms — each built for the weather it sits in
maprooms & suites
Stay surrounded by river, garden and quiet.
Sambodhi Retreat is a boutique hotel of sixty rooms — twelve of them large suites, four of them family rooms. Each accommodation type is a different response to the same climate.
Facing the swimming pool with the river Falgu on the other side, these grass-clad cottages give a clear view of the Mahabodhi temple. The design conditions the room to the weather outside. Four beds mean two couples share the cottage with privacy intact.
