Fall in love, Never Leave – Santani, Sri Lanka

Love blossoms in the most enchanting settings. Sri Lanka’s very first luxury wellness resort, Santani, is one of them

An out-of-time, out-of-place paradise, the soon-to-open wellness destination is an idyllic, irresistibly romantic getaway designed to stir your senses. Whether you’re honeymooners who want to indulge in much-needed luxurious pampering post wedding festivities or love birds looking for a beautiful escape and wellness boost before the big day – arrive and watch time disappear, as you fall in love all over again.

A picture of calm and serenity, be prepared to lose yourselves in its dreamy surroundings. Set within a 48-acre abandoned tea plantation near the cultural centre of Kandy, it has 16 nature-inspired rooms, two lavish suites, a restaurant headed by ex-Executive chef of the only Relais & Chateaux property in Sri Lanka, a lounge bar and amenities and ambience that will enthral you.

But the main focus here is: healthy, happy living. Couples, you can indulge in cleansing, detox foods and juice diets specially designed for weight loss and getting into perfect shape. Opt for indulgent couple’s programmes at the 6,000sqft underground spa and hydrotherapy facility led by an ex Ananda in the Himalayas Head Therapist, like water release and watsu, tea, rice and virgin coconut oil based wraps and scrubs, western and eastern massages and much more. Or take part in activities with your better half like yoga, TRX or Pilates. Take a leisurely swim in the resort’s outdoor infinity lap pool, or get in touch with the great outdoors by going mountain biking, hiking and river bathing, without leaving the luxurious comfort of the estate. The best part: the resort also features a thermal salt bath—a first of its kind in Sri Lanka. Rest assured, this is the perfect antidote to all the wedding mayhem, before and after.

With so much beauty, wellness and luxury surrounding you—it’s hard not to fall in love. And we won’t blame you if you never want to leave.
