From the moment you arrive, the beauty of the surroundings and the warm welcome from the staff make you feel at home. The rooms are designed to blend seamlessly with nature, featuring glass walls that provide breathtaking views of the lush landscape.

One of the standout features is the culinary experience. Each meal is crafted with care, using fresh organic vegetables grown on-site. The absence of a printed menu means the chefs tailor each meal to your dietary preferences, ensuring a unique and personal dining experience every time. The spa facilities are world-class, offering a range of treatments and wellness packages that include detox and weight loss programs. The daily yoga sessions were a highlight, providing a perfect start and end to each day.

Every staff member goes above and beyond to make your stay memorable. Their attention to detail and genuine hospitality set Santani apart from other wellness resorts.

Negative:

However, there are a few areas for improvement. The lack of air conditioning in the rooms can make them quite hot, which might be uncomfortable for some guests. Additionally, the location is quite remote, so it’s best suited for those looking to stay on the property for the duration of their visit. There were also issues with dietary restrictions not being noted properly, which could be improved to avoid any inconvenience.

Overall, Santani Wellness Kandy offers an exceptional experience that combines luxury with nature, making it a perfect destination for those looking to disconnect and recharge.
