Santani Wellness Resort & Spa

Stunning location! Loved the Mountain View rooms! Best service I’ve experienced - friendly, helpful and professional! No delays - superbly trained! Rooms are excellent except be mindful of the privacy factor of the toilet when sharing with family. Best book your therapies in advance to avoid disappointment!

My time at Santani was truly transformative. The atmosphere is serene and deeply grounding — surrounded by lush nature, with every detail designed to help you slow down, breathe, and reconnect with yourself. The team takes care of you with genuine kindness, and everything from the food to the spa feels intentional and nourishing. A special mention goes to Saman, the yoga teacher, who made my stay extraordinary. He truly understands what yoga is — beyond the physical postures. His classes are a perfect balance of mindfulness, flow, and awareness. What impressed me most was how intuitively he adapts his sessions to the needs and energy of the group. Saman’s presence is calm and inspiring; he teaches not just yoga, but a way of being. After each class, I felt more centered, open, and connected — to my body, my breath, and my inner peace. If you’re looking for a place to recharge, heal, and grow, Santani is a true sanctuary. And if you have the chance to practice with Saman — don’t miss it.

An amazing property in Sri Lanka for anyone seeking wellness, authentic Ayurvedic treatments, scenic nature hikes, and exceptional cuisine. A heartfelt thanks to Prandeep, who helped relieve my shoulder pain, Saman for the outstanding yoga sessions, Dr. Nadeesha for her insightful Ayurvedic consultations, and the entire team for their kindness and care. The staff are wonderfully attentive and make you feel truly looked after throughout your stay.

I recently stayed at Santani Wellness Resort & Spa in Kandy for their Spa Getaway package, and I can confidently say it was one of the most transformative travel experiences of my life. From the moment I arrived, I felt like I had stepped into another world, a place where time slows down, the air feels cleaner, and every single detail is designed to restore your mind, body, and soul. The resort is set in the hills near Kandy, surrounded by lush greenery and breathtaking views that stretch endlessly into the distance. The drive up the winding mountain roads is an experience in itself — as you ascend higher, the air becomes cooler, fresher, and filled with the scent of trees and rain. When I reached Santani, I was warmly welcomed by the staff with herbal tea and genuine smiles that immediately made me feel at home. The architecture is minimalist yet stunning. Everything blends beautifully with nature — open spaces, wooden walkways, and glass walls that let in plenty of natural light. My villa overlooked the valley, and waking up to that view every morning was unreal. The mist would slowly lift off the hills as the sun rose, and at night, the air turned cool and crisp with the sounds of crickets echoing softly. I loved how peaceful it felt — no loud noises, no distractions, just the sounds of nature all around. The Spa Getaway package was worth every bit. It included daily spa treatments, wellness consultations, yoga, meditation, and full-board meals. The spa facilities are world-class — serene, spotless, and beautifully designed. My therapist was incredibly skilled and caring. Each session began with a short chat to understand what my body needed most, and then she customized the treatment accordingly. I had deep tissue massages, herbal oil therapies, and a detoxifying body scrub, and every session left me feeling completely relaxed and renewed. The steam room and thermal salt bath are also experiences not to be missed. Both overlook the green valley, so you can soak or steam while looking out at endless hills and clouds drifting by. It’s one of those moments where you realize how powerful stillness can be. I also took part in the yoga and meditation sessions offered each day. They were held in a beautiful open-air pavilion surrounded by nature. The instructor was calm, gentle, and very knowledgeable, focusing on breathing and mindfulness rather than perfection. Even as a beginner, I felt completely at ease. Every meal at Santani felt like a celebration of flavor and wellness. The chefs create menus that are both nutritious and delicious, using fresh, organic ingredients — many sourced from their own gardens. Meals are customized based on your health goals or preferences, and the staff always explained what was being served and why. The highlight of my stay was the incredible 7-course dinner on my final evening. It was an unforgettable dining experience, unlike anything I’ve had before. Each course was beautifully plated and full of creativity, blending Sri Lankan ingredients with refined, modern presentation. From delicate starters to rich, perfectly balanced mains, and finally a dessert that looked like artwork, every bite was a treat. Dining in the open pavilion as the sun set over the mountains, with a cool breeze drifting through, was the perfect end to my stay. What truly sets Santani apart is the people. The service is beyond excellent — it’s heartfelt. Everyone I met, from the front desk team to the restaurant staff and spa therapists, treated me with such warmth and genuine care. There’s a quiet professionalism and mindfulness in how they do everything — never intrusive, but always attentive. It’s rare to find a place where every staff member seems so in tune with the resort’s philosophy of balance and well-being.If you’re looking for a place to unwind, detox, or simply recharge in nature’s lap, I cannot recommend Santani Wellness Resort & Spa enough. It’s perfect for solo travelers seeking reflection, couples looking for a romantic wellness retreat, or anyone who needs a break from the world’s chaos. The views, the food, the weather, the spa, and above all, the kindness of the people — everything comes together to create something truly special. Would definitely be going back sometime soon to relax and unwind

Beautiful location, caring efficient staff from the moment we arrived. It was a wonderful relaxing experience. Well done Dilshan and the rest of Team Santani. Keep up the good work!
