Santani Wellness Kandy

I’d always wanted to experience a proper retreat, and finally went in September. Choosing Santani was the best decision ever. From the moment I arrived, I felt cared for like royalty. The meals were designed specifically for me, based on my body type, and I finally gave myself the mental and physical space I’d been missing.Those seven days made a huge difference to my lifestyle. My meals now look completely different, I’m eating healthier, and I understand my body better. Now, about Santani what a gorgeous space to unwind. So close to nature, yet so peaceful and protected. The staff were incredibly caring and professional, from the chefs and servers to the security team, masseuse, yoga instructor, tour guides and the Ayurvedic doctor who was just brilliant at what she did. Every evening, the chefs discussed my next day’s meals with me, answering all my questions. I am bad with names; recall Dashan's name only, the sweetest server, and the rest were amazing too. The rooms were beautifully designed, simple yet luxurious, with breathtaking views. Every detail was so thoughtful, even the flower prints on the wooden headboard felt elegant and intentional. The bathrooms were spotless, the massage rooms immaculate, and having a massage surrounded by forest sounds was magical. The chirping of birds, rustling leaves, nature itself felt like therapy. I’d definitely recommend an initial retreat of 5–7 days to anyone considering it.

Wonderfull experience at Santani ! Beautiful and peaceful place. Team so nice, especially Shashi who give lots of advices for the rest of our trip ! Will recommend it !!

Santani Wellness Retreat was incredible. From the moment I arrived, everything felt calm and intentional. The food, treatments, and setting worked perfectly together and within days, my bloating and digestion felt better than they had in months. It’s the kind of place that reminds you how good it feels to slow down and truly look after yourself.

Stunning location! Loved the Mountain View rooms! Best service I’ve experienced - friendly, helpful and professional! No delays - superbly trained! Rooms are excellent except be mindful of the privacy factor of the toilet when sharing with family. Best book your therapies in advance to avoid disappointment!

My time at Santani was truly transformative. The atmosphere is serene and deeply grounding — surrounded by lush nature, with every detail designed to help you slow down, breathe, and reconnect with yourself. The team takes care of you with genuine kindness, and everything from the food to the spa feels intentional and nourishing. A special mention goes to Saman, the yoga teacher, who made my stay extraordinary. He truly understands what yoga is — beyond the physical postures. His classes are a perfect balance of mindfulness, flow, and awareness. What impressed me most was how intuitively he adapts his sessions to the needs and energy of the group. Saman’s presence is calm and inspiring; he teaches not just yoga, but a way of being. After each class, I felt more centered, open, and connected — to my body, my breath, and my inner peace. If you’re looking for a place to recharge, heal, and grow, Santani is a true sanctuary. And if you have the chance to practice with Saman — don’t miss it.
