Santani Wellness Resort & Spa

Kandy, Sri Lanka

Overview

Santani means ‘in harmony with’ in Sankrit and reflects the ethos here which is to restore and re-balance you. It’s located in Werapitiya, approximately 1 hour from Kandy. The resort offers nurturing Ayurvedic treatments, hydrotherapy, yoga, fitness and healthy cuisine. You will be wowed by the architecture as it’s been designed to blur the indoors and outdoors (all 48 acres) with the use of the floor-to-ceiling windows and minimalist design. It’s the first destination spa in Sri Lanka and has already won many awards including Best Spa (Tatler) and Best New Hotel (Conde Nast Traveller).

When to go

Santani is located 2,800 feet above sea level which means slightly cooler climate. January to May is mostly pleasant with temperatures between 22-28 degrees. There are 2 rainy seasons – from September to December and April and May.

Reviews

The pictures do not do the location justice. I really loved being in the middle of nowhere after a stressful city job. The food here is top-noch and the chef's really go out of their way to personalize the meals. Morning yoga was rejuvenating. I will be back and I've already recommended to my friends.
