Rooms

Santani Wellness Kandy offers 20 minimalist chalets – deliberately simple yet full of clarity. No screens, no distractions, but panoramic windows, natural materials, and a design that allows for breathing. All accommodations open to the landscape – with views of green mountains, forests, and expansive skies. The amenities include king-size beds, open bathrooms, rain showers, terraces, and a great deal of silence. Here, less is truly more.

The cuisine at Santani Wellness Kandy is mindful, pure, and refined – tailored to your personal well-being.

Meals are enjoyed with a view: in the airy restaurant pavilion overlooking green hill chains. Enjoyment that nourishes – and heals.
