More About Santani Wellness Resort & Spa
The Rooms
With 20 rooms, more traditionally known as ‘Ambalamas’, meaning ‘place of rest’, the resort offers a choice between Mountain View Chalets and Garden View Chalets. Each room embraces a stylishly minimalistic yet comfortable design, crafted to help detox the mind from distraction. Mountain View Chalets offer a tranquil retreat, elevated above the jungle valley and offering picturesque mountain vistas. The Garden View Chalets are ideal for groups or families, featuring double–bedroom suites with private balconies overlooking the lush paddy terraces.
The Experience
Embracing a minimalist philosophy, Santini inspires clarity of mind and a deeper connection with oneself through a gentle digital detox, inviting guests to reconnect with the unspoilt wilderness of Sri Lanka. Guests can soak in the breathtaking scenery from the 16-metre infinity lap pool, unwind by the outdoor campfire, or retreat to the lounge and media room, complete with a 15-seat private theatre.
Spa & Wellness
Santani’s pioneering tri-level spa is gracefully embedded into the hillside, offering a sanctuary of holistic wellness. Guests can indulge in the steam room, cedarwood sauna, and open-air thermal salt soak pool, each overlooking the serene rice paddies, or retreat to one of four tranquil treatment rooms for a restorative personalised experience.
Activities & Group Classes
Santani offers an array of curated activities, inviting guests to discover the beauty and culture of Kandy. Adventurers can embark on scenic hiking excursions, enjoy river swimming in the pristine Hulu River, experience wildlife safaris in Wasgamuwa, or tee off at the award-winning Victoria Golf Club. This is all alongside a variety of bespoke experiences tailored to each guest’s desires, which are available on request.
Dining
The Santani concept is rooted in the Ayurvedic culinary philosophy of “Rasa Haya”, or “Six Tastes.” Each guest receives a personalised, nutritionally balanced meal plan crafted by Santani’s international culinary team in collaboration with the Head of Wellness and the in-house Ayurvedic doctor. Designed around individual health goals, every dish harmonises the Six Tastes to nourish the body according to its unique needs. The glass-walled dining pavilion provides a serene setting to savour these mindful creations while overlooking the lush Dumbara mountain range.
