Werapitiya, near Kandy

Santani Wellness Resort

Sri Lanka's only true destination wellness resort.

Our verdict

Santani is the most serious wellness property in Sri Lanka — twenty cantilevered chalets on a hillside above the Hulu River valley, an hour east of Kandy. Three- to fourteen-night programmes only: Ayurveda, weight management, detox, sleep. No televisions, no children under 12, no menu (your nutritionist sets the food). It works because the standard is real, not spa-by-name.
