Santani, Sri Lanka’s best Spa Hotel in Kandy, is an hour’s drive from the historic Kandy town. Peeking out from the edge of the neighbouring Tea Estates and bordering the Hulu River, Santani is perfectly placed for a honeymoon like no other.
Well-hidden among the misty mountains, the resort is world-class excellence in the form of unique architecture, fantastic cuisine and proximity to nature. Acclaimed as one of Time Magazine’s “Greatest Places in the World” and one of Conde Nast’s “Best New Hotels in the World”, the experience that awaits you at Santani cannot be overstated.
Honeymooners will love the open-plan, eco-friendly, stylish yet rustic and minimalist “Santani concept” of luxury, a unique design element that has no doubt resonated with their global following. The Santani Spa and Wellness Centre is its most enduring highlight, with couples from around the world embracing its Spa treatments. Honeymooners will love the waterfall private picnic set up by the base of a local waterfall.
We call Santani a healing mountain romance retreat. Featuring 14 unique Ayurvedic treatments and 9 Western Spa treatments, honeymooners can rejuvenate in the lap of spa luxury.
Santani’s unique accommodation is set across private individual mountain view chalets laid out in a contemporary design modelled after the famous ”Ambalama” or “Pilgrims Shelters”. The wide open green spaces, mountain views and fresh gentle breezes inspire a feeling of oneness with nature. Although, “far away” from civilization, you will encounter world-class service at the mere press of a button.
Santani boasts an elevated ‘Rasa Haya’ or six-taste concept of dining, a unique curated dining concept with taste and wholesome goodness at the heart of each dish.
Don’t miss out on a romantic forest picnic set up next to a local waterfall. A short trek will lead you to the picturesque Narampanawa Hanging Bridge
and Rangala Nature Pool.
If you're up for something more adventurous we recommend a walk to the local village or a trek excursion to Corbett’s Gap which will lead you across one of the highest mountain passes in Sri Lanka. Named after the famous British Army Colonel, naturalist and adventurer, Jim Corbett. The hike is mostly along an abandoned jeep track that cuts through the Knuckles Conservation Forest. Here the land rises to 3000ft above sea level, a cloud forest home to an extraordinary range of flora and fauna.
