In the universe of meditation practices, one aim is supreme – harmonizing the mind-body connection. Through this improved connection, the practitioner is expected to gain higher consciousness and all the benefits that come along with it.

Santani’s meditation programme, which you can practice at one of the best meditation retreats in Sri Lanka, provides a detailed step-by-step approach to the participant on Pratyahara (withdrawal of the senses from the mind), Dharana (focusing on mental awareness) and towards the experience of Dhyana (continued meditative awareness). . These techniques learnt and practised regularly will result in the ability to manage daily life challenges and higher spiritual aspirations at a very different level.

A Personalised Approach to Wellness

In place of dogma or rigidity, Santani offers a relaxed philosophy and a personalised approach to rebalancing, whatever that means for you.

Each person is unique so we customise every restorative programme around that individuality, based upon a scientifically developed questionnaire to determine the wellness components right for you, so that you are able to have a unique luxury escape. Our only strict ‘rule’ is that children must be at least 12 years of age to accompany their parents at Santani. We thank you for understanding.

Created by and for successful, worldly professionals, Santani is about seeking and finding inspiration, knowledge and encouragement to balance external demands with inner fulfilment. Offering effective, meaningful wellness without artifice, Santani has a pure and simple purpose; to help you get unstuck.

Gourmet Wellness Cuisine

Redefining Fine Dining

The Santani concept of gourmet wellness cuisine follows the Ayurveda philosophy of ‘Rasa Haya’, meaning six tastes. This unique concept is centred on taste-based nutrition, as opposed to nutrient-based nutrition. Santani’s modern approach to this traditional concept comprises fresh foods representing the six Ayurvedic tastes – sweet, salty, sour, pungent, bitter, and astringent. This time-tested practice ensures that all major nutrients are included, and prioritised according to your Ayurvedic body type.

Holistic Wellness

Tri-level spa

We built Santani as Sri Lanka’s first fully-fledged destination spa, with the first-ever comprehensive hydrotherapy facilities in the country. Our tri-level spa tucked into the hillside’s natural contours has been thoughtfully designed with holistic wellness in mind.

Chalets

Private Sanctuaries

We chose to design our contemporary dwellings based on the concept of the ‘ambalama’, which is the Sri Lankan word for ‘place of rest’. Historically, pilgrims and traders moved around this sun-kissed island on foot. Simple shelters called ambalama came into being, offering these travellers somewhere safe to rest for the next leg of a long journey.
