Set on a 48-acre former tea plantation in Sri Lanka’s spiritual heartland, Santani feels wonderfully secluded whilst being just an hours’ drive from Kandy. The 16 elevated chalets are deliberately minimalistic and naturally ventilated, with no TV or Wi-Fi to distract from the misty mountain views.

You can alternate your time between the spa’s cedar wood sauna, wandering the fertile rice fields or meditating along the Hulu River. For a deeper detox Santani also offers a variety of personalised wellness programmes to help you really shed the stresses of everyday living. Visiting masters, expert trainers and chefs with the ability to design nutritious meals to suit your goals all play their part, but Santani’s setting high up in the mountains, overlooking valleys cloaked in white clouds, also contributes to your sense of ultimate wellbeing and relaxation.
