Santani, Sri Lanka’s first destination spa, has already received numerous awards, including Best Spa from Tatler and Best New Hotel from Condé Nast Traveller. Its name means 'in harmony with', in Sanskrit, which sums up the retreat's philosophy – it's a place to restore balance and fully relax and recharge.
Santani sits 2,800 feet above sea level, occupying forty-eight acres of a former tea plantation, surrounded by pristine rainforest and overlooking mist-shrouded mountains. And the architecture is just as stunning as the surroundings. Blurring the line between indoors and out, it’s beautifully minimalist, with warm woods and floor-to-ceiling windows.
Wellness is centred around Ayurvedic treatments, hydrotherapy, yoga, fitness and wholesome cuisine. With just 20 chalets, peace and privacy is a given, too. Families are welcome, but only with over 12s due to the peaceful nature of the retreat.
Like the name suggests, at Santani, wellness is all about harmony. The resort combines sleek interiors with a focus on serenity and simplicity, helping guests feel revitalised while learning healthy habits to take home.
Santani offers a range of spa packages which are all personalised to your needs based on an assessment of body composition, lifestyle, stress, fitness, emotional state and future goals. Treatments range from Ayurvedic therapies to Swedish massages, wraps and Reiki, guided by an on-site Ayurvedic doctor and the expert wellness team. Facilities include four treatment rooms, a steam room, sauna, open-air salt pool, infinity pool and yoga studio.
Santani Wellness Resort & Spa is tucked away in Werapitiya, just an hour’s drive from the cultural city of Kandy and perched on top of an old tea plantation. Nature lovers will be drawn to the nearby Knuckles Mountain Range.
It's around four hours from Colombo International Airport. For a quicker option, you can take a domestic seaplane from Colombo to Victoria Reservoir in Kandy, followed by a one-hour drive (flights operate 7am to 4pm, weather permitting). We can also arrange helicopter transfers – ask us for more information.
