Santani Wellness Resort & Spa

Perched on top of a hill, Santani Wellness Retreat & Spa is a chic, award-winning retreat set within the Aratenna tea estate and just over an hour’s drive from the historical town of Kandy.

Offering panoramic views of the Knuckles mountain range, this stylish retreat provides a perfect place to escape from it all on your journey through Sri Lanka. At Santani Wellness Retreat & Spa, the accommodation comprises sixteen stand-alone Mountain View Chalets, which stand elevated on stilts and offer sublime views. Additionally, there are two double-bedroom Garden View Chalets for families and friends travelling together.

This unique retreat offers a personalised approach to each guest, providing arrival consultations with the in-house Ayurvedic doctor to understand your health goals and physical condition better. Santani Wellness Retreat & Spa focuses on personalised meal plans, which are created to ensure the guests achieve the desired results.

From freshly prepared juices, and vegetarian, vegan and raw foods to the heartier traditional local fare, there is a choice for everyone and meals are usually served in the beautifully elevated restaurant near the open-air main pavilion lounge. At the heart of this stylish retreat lies the tri-level spa built into the natural contours of the hillside. The hydrotherapy level houses a steam room, a cedar wood sauna with a glass wall and an open-air thermal salt pool. The lower-level treatment rooms are open to the surrounding paddy fields and elements. Alongside the spa, there is a scenic 16-metre infinity lap pool and yoga pavilion. Whilst at Santani Wellness Retreat & Spa, spend your days relaxing or embark on gentle hikes and visit tea plantations in the area.
