Santani Wellness Kandy

Santani is truly a magical place. From the views to the service and the food. I did the detox program while I was staying at Santani which was a life changing experience. The food was phenomenal. So clean and fresh. However, it didn’t feel like detox food or personalized to my needs. The doctor wasn’t very informative or helpful. She is very kind but that is about it. I felt like just another number and not given the attention as an individual. A lot of my requests were ignored and I honestly did not receive the results I was looking for. Even she was shocked that we didn’t get the results that was expected. However, I’m still going to say that the views and the energy of this place is unreal… truly magical. The most magical part and highlight of my stay at Santani was meeting the yoga instructor, Saman. The best yoga I have ever experienced and most challenging. I never felt stronger like I did after Samans yoga classes. He gives such good insight and truly wants to help each individual. He helped me alot with my physical and mental state and I believe I have met a life long friend and healer that I will be forever grateful for. The treatments are also incredible however again did not feel tailored to my physical and mental state. I had to ask for more personalized treatments. My last two days, I had one of the male sports therapist and he changed my body and stretched me out like no other. He was incredible!

Truly Tranquil experience.. Unique property where you feel like you are living IN NATURE without any boundaries.. the view from the rooms is so expansive and peaceful and feels like you are sleeping in the lap of mother nature. Special call out to Oshi from the F&B team who was so kind and ensured customizations to our food based on our requirements.

This place is incredible. It is the PERFECT place to unwind, relax & just switch off. The scenery is amazing, the food is incredible, the facilities, the treatments - everything! The best part though is really the people. I wish I could name everyone because everyone I spoke to was just so lovely and welcoming. From the night guards, the gardeners, the guys in the restaurant, the naturist, the front of house staff - just absolutely lovely and a pleasure to chat too. Thank you so much. Thank you again Dilshan & Sandu for being so welcoming and helpful. I would most definitely love to come back. 10/10!!

We feel very blessed to have experienced such a peaceful and beautiful place to celebrate our honeymoon. It was extremely relaxing and special. Everyone took great care of us, especially as my husband was unwell on the first evening. The spa is very magical where I highly recommend the Shiro Dhara if you struggle with anxiety. The Sri Lankan breakfast with hoppers and evening curries were absolutely delicious. The room was gorgeous with the most amazing views. You are part of nature with the sounds of birds to lullaby you to sleep. Highly recommend if you need to escape and truly unwind and relax.

Our stay at Santani Wellness Hotel in Kandy was nothing short of extraordinary. From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by the incredible service and the serene, natural setting that made it one of the most memorable hotel experiences we've ever had. The service here is truly exceptional. Santani went above and beyond to ensure every detail of our stay was perfect. The staff set up a WhatsApp group specifically to cater to our needs, which was such a thoughtful and effective touch. We would especially like to recognize Oshee, who was exceptionally professional and helpful. Her warmth and personable approach made us feel welcome and taken care of from the start. She even organized a personal meeting with the chef to discuss our dietary preferences and requirements, ensuring that every meal was just as we wanted it. The room itself was one of the most visually arresting and peaceful spaces we've ever stayed in. Set in the jungle, it offered the most incredible view we've ever had from a hotel room. The combination of glass and balcony made it feel private yet connected to the surrounding nature. At night, the fireflies and the sounds of the jungle created a magical atmosphere. There was (deliberately) no air conditioning, but this wasn’t a problem at all, as the room’s ventilation was thoughtfully designed and kept the space comfortable throughout our stay. One of the highlights of our experience was the traditional Ayurvedic spa. The tranquil setting which was open to nature, and the stunning views made it feel like a true escape. We especially loved the hot pool, which was a perfect way to relax and unwind. The outdoor infinity pool, with its sweeping views of the jungle, was another standout feature. The serene environment was perfect for lounging and gazing out at the lush greenery, truly making us feel at peace with the surroundings. The food at Santani was sensational. The Sri Lankan dishes were packed with flavor and beautifully prepared, but there were also Western options for those who wanted them. Breakfast was a joy—generous portions, with a variety of choices to satisfy any craving. We also had the privilege of experiencing yoga sessions with a traditional Hatha yoga instructor. The classes were thoughtful, and practicing in the open Shala, surrounded by the sounds of the rain and jungle, created a deeply special experience that we'll never forget. A memorable highlight was the guided jungle walk into the Knuckles Mountain Range, led by the hotel's incredibly knowledgeable and passionate naturalist, Osanda. His deep understanding of the environment and ecology made this trek through the remote mountain range an unforgettable adventure. We saw a stunning array of wildlife, including shrub frogs, Sri Lankan jungle fowl, leaf-nosed lizards, mongoose, giant squirrels, egrets, and of course, plenty of leeches! Even though it rained heavily for hours, the experience was so enriching, and Osanda made sure we were safe and well-

Fantastic food, wonderful service in a magnificent setting! The room was excellent with the best views you could ever dream with the best sunrise and sunset you will ever experience. The spa was very relaxing with a great choice of treatments.
