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.

It was 3 nights of complete bliss. The view was to die for; the food was exceptional and the service and staff were always with a smile ready to assist us with anything. We loved it there and we will definitely make another trip off season when the number of guest are less as we love the quiet serenity Santani offers. It’s a place where you become one with nature and find solace.

If you are looking for just another 5-star hotel, Santani isn't for you. But if you are looking for a place that will change the way you feel, breathe, and see the world, this is it. Perched majestically above the mountains of Kandy, Santani is a masterpiece of minimalist architecture where the wild jungle and human design exist in perfect, silent harmony. The "Digital Detox" and the open-air concept allowed me to truly reconnect. Every meal was a gourmet revelation, perfectly tailored to my wellbeing, and the Ayurvedic spa treatments were the best I’ve ever experienced. The staff’s genuine kindness and the morning yoga facing the mist made this stay unforgettable. I arrived exhausted and left feeling completely reborn. It is, quite simply, the best gift you can give yourself.

A truly outstanding resort. I went for a weight loss and detox Ayuverda treatment and could not have made a better choice. Staff, treatments, yoga, medical surveillance, food, location - all impeccable. Outstanding service, friendliness and professionalism. The right place if you seek solitude in an unmatched place of natural beauty. Not for children, but perfect for those who are seeking to reset their mind and body. If anything, the „gym“ (a weight bench with somewhat of a 1950s retro charme) could do with a replacement. An unconditional recommendation - not a bargain, but worth every penny.
