Samaya welcomes you!
Samaya is a small-scale priory hotel centrally located, close to the city of Utrecht, in a green spot between meadows and orchards of fruit, and on the fringes of the Utrecht hills (Utrechtse Heuvelrug) where it is still truly quiet. Come and feel at home in a peaceful and spacious atmosphere, and meet our team that guarantees a truly carefree stay. We offer a welcoming visit or retreat for training groups or other groups as well as for individual guests. Our 4 hectares of English landscape style garden will certainly add to your experience.
Our 5 large conference rooms are full of daylight and all have their own outside areas, so activities will easily be moved partly ‘outside’. The 30 guestrooms have comfortable furnishings and come with private bathrooms.
The Chapel (Kapel) can be used for meetings such as debates, concerts or lectures. Our (vegetarian) restaurant daily serves freshly prepared organic meals for our booked guests. Please check our website or pay us a visit and have the Samaya experience yourself. Find out what we have to offer you!
Personal development
Many of the courses and trainings we facilitate choose our location because of its secluded character, providing private meeting rooms, an exclusive outside space, and meals provided at a private dining table for your group. This ensures your participants to stay in their own ‘bubble’, while also ensuring space to have an individual moment. “Samaya provides and assists” is the feedback we regularly receive from trainers and teachers.
Retreats
With increasing frequency, we are a retreat place for special events such as yoga retreats, zen retreats, silence weeks, writing weeks, tantra retreats, or small-scale festivals. Our meeting rooms, facilities, and garden space lend themselves perfectly for this. Special places are the labyrinth in the garden, Tai-Chi in the big courtyard, or a morning ceremony at sunrise in the garden. Our team will seamlessly connect to your wishes, whether this may be silence or an introduction to the history of our priory.
Business
The business clients we often welcome are (semi)governments, such as Municipalities, Universities, groups from the healthcare domain, but also consulting companies, housing associations, and often groups from the social domain. Would you like your group to do a short and sweet deep dive in an inspiring setting? Experience the special ambiance of Samaya. We often get the feedback that our location contributed to achieving the group’s goals. Especially since we are not a ‘meeting factory’, but a unique place with personal attention.
Meeting rooms
We offer several options for meeting rooms, ranging from professional to spiritual settings. We offer space and peace for individuals, trainers, and professionals to inspire and to be inspired.
Facilities
Trainers and educators working in the field of personal development experience our centre to be a natural contribution to the success of their training sessions or workshops.
