This place is really a special retreat. The Chef is excellent ! The Spa unfortunately is breathe-takingly expensive. And virtually of the activities that you go to a retreat like that for are extortionate.. it is a shame as it is truly a unique location

All okay
I found the acoustics pretty poor, the staff very friendly and well trained, what little food I had was quite nice. The location was a little more remote than I bargsained for, so not a criticisim but we aware. It peaceful and excpetionally minimalist and purposefully designed that way for the ayurvidic guests but not my vibe.

We selected this property because of its treatments. When we arrived they mentioned they were just available for the guests that had booked a package. This was shattering for us and very disappointing. The rest of our statly, food and staff was faboulous.

Good hotel, but different
The hotel concept is very nice, and fits to honeymoon vacation. The food was great, the best food I eat in Sri Lanka, the chef, and the restaurant team where helpful, and fit themself to us. The uncomfortable thing is that there is no a/c system in the room, and it’s really hard to sleep with the bugs and mosquitoes that gets into the room. Although it’s hotel that promote wellness, choosing a/c should be the customer choose. Thanks for the all Santani team, made wonderful job.

I loved everything--EVERYTHING--about my stay. The service was outstanding, the view was amazing, and the food was delicious. The staff bent over backwards to make sure I was comfortable and happy. I had some spa treatments, which were fabulous, and the morning and evening yoga sessions were enjoyable, too. The design of the hotel is incredible. It's simple and unpretentious but elegant. Design-wise, it's one of the most beautiful hotels I've ever seen. I can't wait to return.

The whole experience at this hotel is unbelievable! From the moment you arrive you are treated like royalty. A cold towel is given to you upon arrival. Then you are given tea while you wait a moment to talk to the chef about your personalized meals. Yoga, spa services and hiking are readily available. The rooms are amazing and the views are priceless! Worth every dollar. Looking to return soon.

The hotel is a stunning space. The manager is clearly very hands on and staff is very friendly and attentive. The food was excellent as well. The yoga teacher is very experienced and attentive. It’s rare to find so many things be up to such a good standard in one hotel. I must say the punctuality and service at the spa was not the best, although the rituals and therapists are incredible. Despite some hiccups re, I would recommend and would go again.

Exceptional service and incredible views
Santani was an incredible experience. The service was impeccable and the staff went out of their way to create bespoke menus for us and to look after us during the entire stay. Nothing was too much for them and they really have been trained exceptionally. All the rooms have wonderful views and allow you to soak in the nature and the unbeatable views. It is a great place to relax although not a fantastic base for sight seeing. We stayed for a few nights to break up the hustle and bustle of the tourist spots so it was perfect for us.

Amazing and unique Hotel
This hotel is simply amazing. The setting and views are incredible, rooms are very modern and minimalist in style. The Mountain View rooms are so worth it with lovely balconies for the amazing views. Restaurant is great all round and the spa is totally unique. If you want to unplug and chill out this is one of the most relaxing hotels I’ve ever stayed at. Just don’t waste your stay here by going off the resort!!! It’s not cheap, but is well worth the money for what you get and experience

Visit while this place is still a secret
We stayed for two nights at this lovely retreat and had an amazing time. Service was top notch and the food was excellent. The setting is stunning - on a hilllside with beautiful views of the surrounding mountains. The villas were lovely. The only downside of the rooms were that there isn't any soundproofing between villas. We enjoyed the yoga classes that we took, as well as the spa treatments we had. Go before word gets out!

Get away from all the hustle and bustle and relax
Hard to think of words to sum up Santani... the pictures certainly paint a picture for what to expect and the views are the key reason why most people would flock to this fantastic resort but the photos do not tell the full story. The staff, the spa and the amazing food are the other stand out features. While I wouldn't recommend this resort if you're looking for an action packed stay it's the perfect location to escape the crowds. Wake up to yoga, followed by breakfast and then take a stroll down to the river for a quick dip. We were lucky enough to see a pack of monkeys on one of our visits to the river who took it in turns to jump in and cross to the other side. After the your stroll it's time for lunch... you'll certainly be well fed during your stay. The unique spa is a wonderful (but expensive) place to spend the afternoon. Watch the sun go down over the mountains and prepare for a wonderful dinner. All in all a fantastic, memorable and relaxing hotel which I'd thoroughly recommend.

Just book it already!
Santani is one of the nicest and most unique resorts I've stayed in. It's incredible, the whole experience. Haven't just left after 4 blissful days there, I feel like I'll forever be comparing every other hotel to it, which will set almost all up for failure. It was the highlight of my week-long Sri Lankan trip, just book it already, you won't regret it!! Oh, and do yourself a favour, pay extra to get a mountain view room. You won't be disappointed!

Heaven on earth!
Had we died and gone to heaven? I had to question my senses from the moment we arrived to Santani “Santani” is the Sanskrit word meaning “in harmony with” and harmonious we felt. This heaven on earth embodies all the virtues of a spiritual ashram with the luxuries of a 5-star wellness retreat.

Incredible Stay at the Santani
Our stay at the Santani was a delight in every sense. Everything was done to perfection from the architectural design of the rooms and facilities (minimalist Buddhist aesthetic) to the stunning views to the delicious and healthy meals designed for us by the chef. The service was impeccable across the board. We especially enjoyed the nature walks with the Santani’s naturalist, lovely yoga classes each morning and afternoon, rejuvenating Ayurvedic spa treatments, and an unforgettable dining experience at each meal.
