Situated in the rolling green mountains of Sri Lanka, Santani is an eco-friendly, intimate sanctuary with 16 rooms that has a spiritual and relaxed philosophy to take you back to basics. With a luxurious yet minimalistic approach, every guest’s experience is unique as you become immersed in the power and energy of nature all around you. Santani’s respect for the environment radiates through the variety of healing programmes and design which brings the outdoors in. Rejuvenate by practicing yoga in the open-plan facilities, learn to farm in the paddy fields, or take a traditional cooking class. Your body will be pampered and mind educated, and you will leave with healthy habits and practices allowing you to sustain greater mental, spiritual and physical well-being.

With lush greenery surrounding the predominantly glass complex, the sanctuary blurs the distinction between indoors and outdoors, encouraging you to be at one with nature as you rest, relax and meditate. This destination is ideal for those seeking to immerse themselves in a natural setting, as the building follows a minimalistic style throughout to encourage calmness.
