Santani Wellness Resort & Spa

I can honestly say that Santani Wellness Resort & Spa is the best wellness retreat I’ve ever been to. It has completely set the bar so high that I feel like everywhere else I now go will struggle to compare. The staff are incredible — so attentive, warm, and genuinely caring without ever being over the top. The food was also a standout: nourishing, beautifully prepared, and something I looked forward to every day. A personal highlight for me was the yoga, especially with Saman. I’m so grateful for his sessions as I’ve never had that much time dedicated to yoga before, and he was brilliant. It’s one thing I’ll genuinely take home from the experience and incorporate into my life as best as I can. I couldn’t recommend Santani and Saman more highly — it’s something really special.

Santani is truly a magical experience. The care and attention the staff give to you is impeccable. They are friendly with excellent due diligence. The food was tailor made to our requirements and the wellness aspect was mind blowing. We felt truly rejuvenated and healthy. Dr Nadeesha’s acupuncture was an additional fantastic holistic treatment which really boosted our wellbeing. We really recommend the acupuncture to remain a core feature and the entire experience for those seeking a change and a reset.

Average hotel, for some reason they have a Michelin cook & Menu which we were not impressed at all

It was an amazing run away for 3 nights. The hotel is situated in a beautiful valley kind of far away from everything and the atmosphere is amazing. The hotel staff was super friendly and very professional. Everyone took great care of us. It was definitely one of the best experiences 💛 Food is exceptional 💛

I found this oasis through friends that had stayed and were praising the spa. I was attempting to book during probably the busiest night for Kandy, the night of the T20 match between Australia and Sri Lanka. We needed accomodation for a very last minute trip to Sri Lanka to watch cricket with our 9 year son. Under 12 years are not permitted to stay in the chalets but were allowed to stay in the villas. The wellness resort is spectacular and breathtaking. The staff were so attentive and friendly. The butler service was lovely and food was the highest quality. Our villa experience left us rested, calmed & wanting to return. We contemplated missing the cricket match ….. but it was an amazing game to see live. I will be returning for a longer stay with no work, computers & no cricket. We thoroughly enjoyed the spa & treatment options. Thank you again for finding availability for us. It was magical to have a spa treatment with the rain falling gently outside. I thought for a moment that it was audio recording. Our son stated that it was the nicest place he had ever stayed in. He loved watching the monkeys play in the trees. This made me happy because he didn’t ask for a TV or iPad once and was enjoying the natural environment in front of him. Santani anticipated all our needs and really looked after us. I will definitely come back and occupy the villa again, this time with some friends for the phone detox, spa and the yoga.
