Santani Wellness Kandy

From the moment you arrive at Santani Wellness, a profound sense of peace envelops you. The views are unparalleled—you can easily lose yourself watching how a cloud slowly drapes over a mountain, transforming the landscape within minutes. The attention to detail is exquisite, and the food follows an Ayurvedic principle known as 'Rasa Haya,' which translates to six tastes, ensuring your body receives nutrition tailored to its specific needs. I stayed on a leisure basis for several days, but Santani also offers a range of wellness packages designed to meet individual goals, such as weight loss, better sleep, or detoxification. There are numerous activities to enjoy in the surrounding nature, but you can also spend your day unwinding in the three-layered spa, which offers a serene escape through its beautifully designed spaces dedicated to relaxation, hydrotherapy, and rejuvenation. Since my return, Santani has helped me to prioritize my well-being in ways I hadn’t before. I've always found it challenging to commit to activities like meditation or yoga, often viewing them as somewhat repetitive due to my fast-paced lifestyle. However, this perception has shifted since my stay. The resort’s unique ability to encourage mindful living, paired with its thoughtful design, genuinely touched me and left a lasting impact. I want to personally thank Vickum, the visionary founder behind this inspiring project, for making me pause, reflect, and rethink my approach to self-care. Never did I imagine waking up at 6 a.m. to start my day with a 7 a.m. yoga class. The minimalist architecture and calm ambiance of the resort immediately prompt you to slow down and connect with the present moment—something that isn’t just a cliché but a lived reality here. Santani’s mindful approach to hospitality and its commitment to creating a sanctuary for relaxation and reflection are incredibly necessary in today's world. It’s more than just a stay; it’s a transformative experience that resonates deeply and stays with you long after you’ve left.

My stay at Santani was nothing short of extraordinary. The owner of the hotel has done an impeccable job in building a remarkable team. Every single member of the staff contributed to making my stay memorable. From the talented chefs and their team, who prepared exquisite meals, to the attentive servers who were always ready to assist with a smile, every interaction was a pleasure. The room cleaning staff and watchmen greeted me warmly at every turn, always asking how I was doing, making me feel genuinely cared for. The yoga sessions led by the incredible Rahul were a highlight of my stay; his expertise and helpful nature made each class truly special. And I must mention Pradeep, the masseuse—words cannot do justice to how exceptional he is. His skill and dedication are unparalleled. Thank you, Santani, for an unforgettable experience.

Our five-day stay here was nothing short of magical! We celebrated a special birthday with a VIP group from the USA and had the entire resort to ourselves. From the moment we arrived, the team went above and beyond to ensure our stay was exceptional. The food was world-class, and the restaurant staff were attentive and informative, enhancing our dining experience. Everyone was impressed by the stunning setting, top-notch cuisine, and the outstanding service provided by the entire team. The spa’s Ayurveda treatments were a hit, and many guests thoroughly enjoyed them. The morning and evening yoga sessions were also a highlight. A heartfelt thank you to the whole team; this place truly deserves to be ranked among the best in its category!

We stayed here for three nights booked through Olanka Travels on 13,14 & 15/7/24 at Mountain View chalet on Wellness Package( All Inclusive). All meals were prepared by Chefs to our preferred taste and were delicious and tasty while the daily wellness treatments were just so much relaxing and enjoyable. All staff were friendly and caring and this place is just amazing and rejuvenated us from our trip with great and stunning views from our Chalet. We wished we had booked longer for five days but definitely this resort is worth visiting and will definitely stay here in future. Thanks to all the restaurant staff who gave us amazing service including the house keeping staff.

I had a great experience in Santani . Very relaxing in the middle of Kandy forest . Great treatments , Dr , food and specially the yoga instructor Saman who was extremely knowledgeable and was really attentive towards my knee injury . He also gave me valuable advice and great tips for relaxation and what to do to improve my knee flexibility . I previously had a lot of physiotherapy after having had 2 surgeries but his support and methods great improved my overall condition (which was the main reason I went to the resort). By the way the food is amazing!

We are a family of 5, including our three teenagers. The whole experience was incredible from earlier emails, wats app comms once in the country, being there to greet us at our very late 3am arrival, standard of FOOD and accomodation, STAFF, spa treatment, Yoga classes, nature walk and assistance with tracing our youngest child’s lost passport!!! The simple but high quality standard and finer detail leaves you instantly relaxed and refreshed, without even trying! As our 17 year old lad said “you can’t help but feel relaxed here”. Bravo team Santani, exceptional patch on the earth! We hope to stay longer next time!

Santani Wellness Retreat is a truly wonderful place. Stunning views, impressive architecture, welcoming staff, incredible spa treatments, and the most amazing food. We stayed in a mountain chalet, went bird watching, enjoyed the pool, yoga, and spa. All the staff were great - but Shashi was particularly helpful and friendly. Wow! Highly recommend!

We had five incredible nights at Santana. A family of five, two adults and three teenagers. We booked three mountain villas. It is a beautiful oasis high up in the mountains. The location is so peaceful and the resort design is beautiful. The food was incredible as was the chef. Honestly the BEST cuisine. We were all glowing by the end of our stay!! The staff here are just so wonderful. We were looked after so well by Shashi, he was fantastic. Also special mention to Oshadi, Aesla, Attayanayke and Kaniska. You all made our family feel so at home and looked after our every need. The yoga was wonderful as was the spa. I will always remember the mist on the mountain with the prayer call and sun rising. Also how you made my birthday special Thank you Santina. We hope to come back one day 💚✨
