Santani sought out the latest innovations in health science from around the world to harmonize with the most effective treatments among the rich heritage of Ayurveda in Sri Lanka, thus creating one of the best wellness resorts for our guests.

Building upon their global philosophy and extensive therapeutic amenities, Santani takes a lifestyle approach to wellness with two essential components: were you pamper your body in an environment designed at every level to revitalize you and we educate your mind, so that you leave with healthy habits and practices. All allowing you to sustain a greater mental, spiritual and physical well-being for years to come. That is the Santani lifestyle.

Santani offers a welcoming place to retreat to an unspoilt wilderness in the spiritual centre of Sri Lanka. The temperature at the resort is comfortably cool at 2,800 feet above sea level. Our guests are free to roam around these 48 acres of tropical jungle and fertile rice fields, to practice yoga or to meditate along the Hulu River.

Colombo International Airport is 134km away, which is approximately a 4.5-hour drive.

Check in: 14:00pm
Check out: 12:00 (noon)
Early check in or late check out 50% of room rate is charged.

Stylish and utterly comfortable, our interiors are deliberately minimal. As in ancient Buddhist meditation caves in the mountains surrounding Santani, this lack of distraction allows you to focus your mind solely on slowing it down.

By blurring the distinction between inside and out, these private retreats invite you to rest, relax or meditate while inhaling the pure fresh air and taking in the pristine, truly inspiring scenery around you. To further support your efforts to ‘reset,’ our rooms do not have television. While digital detox is a key component of the Santani experience, we do offer in-room WiFi on demand.

Each room features up-cycled rubber wood lounge chairs, recycled teakwood safari chairs on the balcony, extra-large pillows, 100% cotton, high thread count sheets, coffee and tea making facilities, personal safe and two closets.

We have 16 Mountain View Chalets that overlook the surrounding mountain range. 16 stand-alone bedrooms extending to a balcony and approximately 500 square feet.

We also have 4 Garden View Chalets that are designed for families with children (above 12) and situated in an area with a small paddy field on one side and a tea plantation on the other.

• Mountain View Chalets – 16
• Garden View Chalets – 4

Santani wellness cuisine and food philosophy are based on the “Rasa Haya” which means six tastes which are Sweet, Sour, Bitter Salty, Pungent and Astringent. According to Ayurveda each of these tastes have a vital role to play in our physiology, health, and well-being.

Meals are served in our elevated restaurant with a capacity for 60 guests, where we take a personalised approach to gourmet wellness cuisine. In place of a printed menu, Santani’s experienced internationally trained chefs prepare your meals according to a custom meal plan created by the Ayurvedic doctor.

Spa Cuisine

Yes

The Santani kitchen is striving towards being self-sufficient and to produce it’s own quality organic ingredients for our gourmet wellness cuisine.

They have commenced their own dairy farm in the Natuwakelle Estate and now have a supply of fresh milk and produce their own butter. Producing their own cheese will come soon.

The Executive Chef also happens to be an expert in local medicinal plants and herbs and is on the road to making some rare and authentic dishes with medicinal plants found on the property.

Beyond the spa and wellness treatments, activities and cuisine, other Conscious Actions are taken to further benefit you and others:

• Community Giving

• Environmental Sustainability

Santani has been designed according to the highest sustainability and eco-standards. We spent more than two years searching for this pristine location because we understood humans heal and thrive most effectively where nature meets intelligent, sustainable design. The property was built using reclaimed wood and rooms are built for natural ventilation and are air-condition free – far healthier for you, and better for the environment, because this saves over 70% of energy compared to an air-conditioned hotel.

• Organic Products or Cuisine

The Santani kitchen is striving towards being self-sufficient and to produce our own quality organic ingredients for our gourmet wellness cuisine.

We have commenced our own dairy farm in the Natuwakelle Estate and now have our very own supply of fresh milk and produce our own butter. Producing our own cheese is also in the works.

Our Executive Chef also happens to be an expert in local medicinal plants and herbs, and is on the road to making some rare and authentic dishes with medicinal plants found on our property. 

At Santani we want our guests to have the best dining experience we can provide, and what better than produce straight from our fertile lands in the hills of Sri Lanka.
