Amazing Culinary Experience

The food at Santani Wellness Kandy was simply excellent! Every meal was a treat, and I was particularly impressed by their breakfast. I can confidently say I had the best hoppers here, perfectly portioned and incredibly tasty. The chef's dedication to creating delicious and healthy meals truly set this place apart.

Very nice Spa Treatments

During my stay, I enjoyed the outdoor spa, which was an extraordinary experience! I loved the Watsu therapy and sound healing sessions. The serene environment of the spa added to the relaxation, and I could hear nature around me while receiving my treatments. It was a truly magical experience.

Rejuvenating Yoga Sessions

I had an amazing experience joining the daily yoga classes. The instructor was incredibly supportive and adjusted poses to cater to my needs as a pregnant woman. The sessions were perfectly paced, and I felt rejuvenated and connected with my inner self. These classes will stay with me long after my visit!
