This time-honored approach ensures that all major nutrients are included and tailored to your specific Ayurvedic body type. Guests can enjoy life-enhancing, modern dishes that are not only delicious but visually appealing, whether they’re low-carbohydrate, Ayurvedic vegetarian, detoxifying, or customised to meet your unique dietary needs.

Location

Santani is situated 32 kilometres and about an hour’s drive from the historic and sacred city of Kandy on the former Aratenna Tea Estate which comprises 116 lush green acres within the small village settlement of Werapitiya. The area of Kandy where Santani is located embodies Sri Lanka’s legendary beauty in its lush greenery, gently undulating landscapes and whooshing rivers. As in the past, Kandy is the spiritual centre of Sri Lanka, home to one of the most sacred relics in Buddhist culture as well as the Kandy Perahera, one of the world’s most extravagant pageants with over 100 adorned elephants and thousands of artists parading through the streets of Kandy every August.
