Santani Resort in Detail
Your Ayurveda & Wellness Resort
In the heart of Sri Lanka, northeast of Kandy (about 32 km), lies the luxury boutique resort Santani, perched on a hill of a former tea plantation overlooking rice fields and mountain landscapes. The resort impresses with its minimalist design, which has already won several awards, and the stunning panorama. The peaceful and natural surroundings create an atmosphere that invites relaxation and well-being. Sustainability is a priority at Santani. There is no air conditioning or TV in the rooms. Digital detox is practiced by providing Wi-Fi only upon request and exclusively in the rooms. The natural construction from recycled wood ensures cooler room temperatures.
Dining & Leisure
The restaurant offers individual menus for each guest, discussed in advance with the chef, ensuring a balance of the six taste senses. Guests who have booked a wellness package receive meals tailored to their body type and treatments. A large portion of the ingredients used comes from the resort's own garden or local farmers. Wellness cuisine focuses on ketogenic (low-carb) and raw food diets, detox and Ayurveda, vegetarian options available on request. Private dining possible. Lounge, bar.
Wellness & Spa
Three-storey spa with hydrotherapy area (sauna, steam and salt bath). Wellness packages on themes such as Ayurveda, yoga, detox, weight and stress management are offered. The goal of these programmes is to harmonise body and mind, and to provide valuable tips for maintaining a healthy lifestyle after your stay. In addition to a permanent yoga guru, guests are supported by two Ayurvedic doctors on rotation. Pavilion for yoga and meditation. Additionally, Santani regularly hosts 'Visiting Masters' (guest therapists and healers) from around the world, such as Reiki masters, osteopaths, psychological coaches, or yoga gurus.
Free Time
Spend your free time, for instance, in the infinity pool (approx. 16 m) with a breathtaking view. If you choose not to partake in the 'Digital Detox', a media room with a PC terminal is available (Wi-Fi in the room upon request). The resort's location is also ideal for mountain biking or hiking to the Hulu River, the Hanging Bridge, or the Narampanawa Temple (2-4 hours).
