Santani, meaning harmony in Sanskrit, is an incredible wellness retreat hidden away in the hills of Kandy, one of the world’s most lush natural environments.
Favourite bits.
The setting. Tucked away into the UNESCO Heritage Knuckles Ranges, listed thanks to the richness of biodiversity to be found, the setting is a true nature paradise. Quiet, peaceful and calm, with incredible sunsets.
The holistic architecture. The main pavilion is a calming and elegant structure designed to blend into the surrounding environment - we love the use of glass and wood, and the clean lines - as well as the unobtrusive and minimalist little cabins dotted amongst the hills.
The food. Healthy, nutritious and perfectly tailored to your every need thanks to Executive Chef Wajira Gamage and the Ayurvedic principles he applies to his cooking. Each of his nourishing dishes contain the six Ayurvedic tastes: sweet, salty, sour, bitter, astringent, and pungent.
