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.

Excellent Atmosphere and rooms are well maintained in an Eco Friendly space. Location is away from the main roads. Very friendly staff and observed mutual respect to each others. Couple of activities are scheduled to spend the day and those are very useful for wellness of human beings. Couple of meal options are available for the selections and focus on wellness.

Location is lovely. Its a wellness resort and it lives up to its name. Our chalet was spacious and had a fabulous view, I.e. the main reason for the rating ;) You could could just sit in the varenda and stare at it for hours. But the open louvers in the room meant to bring the outside air in, also brought in mosquitos and noise from the neighbouring chalets. They have a lovely spa and sauna. They also have yoga and guided hiking which we didnt have time to try. The rates charged were very reasonable at local resident rates. Our weekend package included a.complimentary one hour spa treatment. Food was a set menu, but the chef would personally discuss it with you make adjustments. It was all healthy options and less carbs which i loved but I felt the flavors were all over the place. Special mention must be made of the staff, they were well aware that people choose this location for its peace & quite and lived upto that requirement by attending to all our needs but with the least intrusive way possible. Coming from Kandy, the Google maps show two options. The slightly shorter route has narrow winding roads for the most part. Hence the second option turned out to be the better choice. In either cade, once you turn off to the estate (where the hotel is located) the road was not in good condition but still manageable.

Santani Wellness Retreat was incredible. From the moment I arrived, everything felt calm and intentional. The food, treatments, and setting worked perfectly together and within days, my bloating and digestion felt better than they had in months. It’s the kind of place that reminds you how good it feels to slow down and truly look after yourself.

We spent the weekend at Santani, which was amazingly peaceful and rejuvenating. The resort is between the clouds in the misty hills not very far from Kandy, with a breathtaking view and silent atmosphere which is peaceful. The staff is super friendly and attentive looking after all our needs There are no printed menus, the chef discussed with our meal preferences personally which made us feel homely and loved. Food was delicious and authentic. The best was the wellness pan cake !!! Spa treatments and the yoga class also added value for the theme. Dr Nadeesha was energetic and pleasant. The massage was also really soothing and professional . You can use the sauna, steam room and hot water pool as well for further relaxation. Room was simple and clean. There are daily hiking and other recreational activities you can join. All in all an amazingly relaxing stay. Highly recommended!!!
