Why it's holistic
- Santani puts Ayurveda at the centre of the whole stay.
- Ayurvedic physicians guide the wellness team, the kitchen follows the six-taste principle of Rasa Haya, and yoga and spa treatments complete the programmes.
- The resort describes Ayubowan, may you live long, as both a welcome and a wish, and as the idea at the heart of its philosophy.
- The setting is a former tea plantation opening to the Knuckles Mountain Range, so the retreat sits among hills rather than in a town.
About
Santani's programmes in Ayurveda, detox, yoga and spa are shaped by Ayurvedic physicians, who guide a multidisciplinary wellness team. The kitchen follows Rasa Haya, an Ayurvedic idea of eating by six tastes rather than by nutrients, and the resort presents it as gourmet wellness cuisine. Programme formats include detox, Ayurveda, yoga immersion, stress management and weight management. The resort stands on a former tea plantation in the hills near Kandy, Sri Lanka, in the Werapitiya area of Theldeniya, with the Knuckles Mountain Range, a UNESCO World Heritage site, opening out beyond it. It also hosts group retreats, from wellness to corporate and creative programmes, and the Sri Lankan greeting Ayubowan, meaning may you live long, anchors its philosophy.
