Stay at Santani

Set in the mountainous area in the North East of Kandy, this 128-acre resort was named after the Sanskrit word meaning ‘in harmony with’. This highly sustainable and eco friendly resort aims to bring oneself into balance with nature. Set on an undulating hillside, many of the chalets jut out from the mountain, creating a feeling of being truly integrated with nature. The minimalistic interiors leave your focus on the surrounding environment, whilst the personalised gourmet cuisine emphasises the attention on personal wellness.

Whether you choose to spend your days relaxing and unwinding in the hilltop infinity pool and indulging in some of the best Ayuverdic massages, or participating in yoga and hiking in the Knuckles Mountain Range, this award-winning hotel will certainly leave you feeling more relaxed and rejuvenated.

Judy & Chris

We had an amazing holiday in Sri Lanka. All the hotels, transfers, trips and experiences arranged by True Travel were perfect and all the arrangements went seamlessly according to plan. Our guide and driver, Thusita, was a really nice man and so knowledgeable, going out of his way to make sure that we experienced many of the Sri Lankan foods and traditions as possible. I would recommend True Travel to anyone especially if you have not visited the country before.
