Santani Wellness Resort & Spa

I would recommend this place to anyone who needs some rest, nature and a moment to recharge. Food is fantastic, delicious! De views and sunset is breathtaking. Very friendly people. The houses are very nice, big beds, fantastic view, you can hear the sounds of outside very good so it looks like you are sleeping outside (very soothing). Only disadvantage is that its far away from Kandy (1-1,5 h drive). I rarely seen a place where it's so sereen and 'Zen'. You can easily be here for a week and lose track of time. 2 nights was too short!!

Imagine a place where the earth meets a sky; where misty colored mountains lay at your feet in a cushiony billow of cloud, where architecture honors its location in a delicate design that seems to float in the sky. Couple this with a carefully curated, customized gastronomical experience that will captivate you with its daring innovation and creativity; a staff so focused on providing quality service that they anticipate your needs even before you articulate them; and guided nature walks that makes you realize anew the wonder that has rightly been led others to call Sri Lanka the pearl of Asia; and a stay that leaves you revitalized and refreshed with wellness and well being provided by some of the best Ayurvedic doctors in the country...that is Santani Wellness Resort and Spa. Thank you for making my stay so memorable: in particular wonderful chef Wajira, who made sure that he listened attentively to my needs and delivered a series of masterfully executed ‘meals’ (I call them enchanting taste adventures); Bandura whose personal care, professionalism and attentiveness showed the best of what you can expect in service excellence; and Damitha who provided well-informed nature walks, and who shared my passion for bird watching. I will definitely be back!

A truly magical and relaxing place !!! Go to be one with nature, enjoy the wonderful view, the yoga classes and the food... OMG !!! Better than some 2 Michelin restaurants ! You can choose from Sri Lankan food or "European menu" and each are perfectly done and the portions are HUGE !!! The architecture of the buildings is breathtaking and blends seamlessly with the surrounding nature. The pictures don't do justice on how beautiful it is... You will cleanse your body but also your mind. And the staff are just pampering you with attention and kindness. We didn't want to leave and this was one of the highlights of our visit to Sri Lanka ! Worth every penny !Congratulations to the owner for having such vision with this place !

This place is absolutely stunning and out of this world. The staff is so amazingly helpful and attentive, specially Mr. Bandara. The food is some of the yummiest and healthiest food we have ever tasted and all credits to the chef Wajira Gamage. Mountain chalets view, our anniversary dinner set up, yoga sessions, morning nature walk to hulu river and spa treatments were pure bliss. Pictures and words don't even do justice. Thank you Santani!! ?

Stayed here for three nights and absolutely loved it! It is, as many people said before me, a piece of heaven in Sri lankan mountains. The staff, the food, the architecture, the views - everything is excellent. ??Highly recommended

Stayed here for 2 nights. The setting is stunning and the villas comfortable and exceptionally clean. We were made to feel important from the moment of booking to the moment of departure. Staff were friendly and helpful and nothing too much trouble. The food was delicious and offered a choice of western or Sri Lankan - all tailored to your dietary preferences. The spa facilities were super and yoga offered twice per day. It was the perfect place to recharge ourselves. If you have mobility issues please note that there are a lot of steps to some of the villas. Thank you Santani for a super stay. We will definitely be back.

It is a great place ... the staff was absolutely great.. food was excellent... setting is great.. this are the PRO’s now for the CON’s the chalets are very nice but as this is sold as a ‘QUITE’ place unfortunately you hear everything from your neighbor and by everything I mean everything ... and some guest are not aware or they just don’t care. This unfortunately ruined our stay at this great place. But again the staff was helpfull and very nice.

I enjoyed my 9 day stay at Santana enormously. The location is stunning, the staff were friendly and attentive and I was delighted with the outcome of the wellness programme. I would definitely recommend Santani to anyone looking to embark on a healthier lifestyle.

Have just completed a 10 day weight loss programme at this stunning and well thought out resort and the care and attention to my well being was second to none . A journey undertaken with professional supervision, a light touch as needed yet strict controls which I appreciated . So impressed by the staff , service and the care . I did every treatment offered and loved them all and as I swam and steamed and was massaged and stretched by the dedicated team it all became a pleasurable experience. Thank you Team Santani And yes I lost a lot of weight ....... highly recommended especially if you have lost sight of life and goals and well being and need refocusing. Perfect

An incredible place!!! stunning location, impeccable architecture, perfectly built villas, exquisite food, top notch Ayurveda therapy, and fantastic service created an unforgettable experience that nourished both body and mind. Looking forward to coming back!

A little piece of heaven ! Beautiful location ! Peace and quiet the place to be if looking to be away from everything and everyone else. Unique concept. Great chef ! Exceptional food ! Nutritious and portion controlled. Wonderful staff and Ayurveda spa treatment . Will be back for sure.??

Phenomenal healing retreat sanctuary in the hills near Kandy, Sri Lanka. All staff friendly and sincerely caring for each guest's experience and wellbeing. The mountain surrounds are a perfect environment for contemplation and healing.

The best dining experience I have had in Sri Lanka. Staff was fantastic and made no mistakes with our orders! The most relaxing holiday I have had for a long time. With chalets at the edge of the hill, nature puts on a show every morning.

Absolutely Devine ! Great location , wonderful staff who just couldn't do enough to make us feel welcome. The food was amazing and healthy with all organic home grown fruits and veg. Best spa and wellness centre I have been to. Every morning waking up to the view of the mountains is just bliss!!
