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.
