Designed from top to bottom to promote relaxation and contemplation, Santani Wellness Resort & Spa is nestled in the mountains of Sri Lanka. Named for the Sanskrit word meaning “in harmony with”, it is this hotel’s true belief that sustainable wellness begins by bringing oneself into balance with nature and by allowing ourselves to receive nurture from ourselves as well as from others. Guest accommodations are deliberately minimal, yet stylish and utterly comfortable. Premium amenities allow for luxurious comfort. To further support the efforts to ‘reset,’ guest rooms do not have televisions. While digital detox is a key component of the Santani experience, the hotel does offer in-room Wi-Fi on demand. These private retreats invite guests to rest, relax or meditate while inhaling the pure fresh air and taking in the pristine, truly inspiring backdrop around you.

Santani Wellness in Kandy is simply outstanding. The property is beautifully designed, stunningly located, and entirely focused on peace, wellness, treatments, and yoga. The infinity pool overlooking the mountains is simply beautifk, the service is exceptional, and the cuisine overs a variety of Sri Lankan and International dishes.. The Community House is an architectural gem - minimalist, calm, and perfectly in harmony with nature and the surrounding fauna. Our Yoga sessions in the shala while monkeys jumped through the trees and feasted on jackfruit nearby - priceless. A special thank you to Shashi and Osander who were great ambassadors of the Santani Resort. Food, staff, and facilities were unbeatable. An unforgettable stay and a flawless wellness experience.

From the moment you arrive at Santani, you feel something shift. This is a place of quiet intelligence and deep care. Set high in the hills outside Kandy, the stillness is intentional, and it works almost immediately on both body and mind. What sets Santani apart is how thoughtfully everything is designed. There is no background music, no forced schedules, no distractions. Instead, you are guided gently through personalised wellness consultations, beautifully sequenced treatments, yoga and meditation, and food that is genuinely nourishing yet deeply satisfying. The cuisine alone deserves special mention - based on the Ayurveda principle of Rasa Haya ( six tastes) and far from restrictive, every meal feels considered, balanced, and delicious. The spa is exceptional, not just for the treatments, but for the way it integrates nature and silence into the experience. You hear birds, wind through the trees, and monkeys playing in the jungle. Sleep comes easily, and by the second day, you realise how much tension you were carrying without knowing it. Santani doesn’t feel like an escape. It feels like a return to yourself - calmer, clearer, and more grounded. A place you leave better than when you arrived, and one you quietly plan to return to.

I’ve traveled around the world, stayed at different hotels and resorts but nothing is like Santani Wellness. From staff, services, food, spa, yoga instructor (Rahul) and the restaurants (the Chef, its whole team and Shashi are amazingly friendly, they all made me feel I’m one of their family members). Many thanks to everyone who contributed to my wonderful and peaceful journey.

We stayed at Santani Wellness Kandy as a couple and appreciated the tranquil setting and focus on calm, mindful relaxation. The surroundings felt peaceful and secluded, making it easy to disconnect and enjoy quiet time together. Our accommodation was clean and comfortable, and the overall experience felt well paced and thoughtfully organized. A soothing choice for couples looking for a quiet wellness-oriented stay in nature.
