From immaculate minimalist design to top-of-the-range wellness packages, everything at the luxurious Santani Wellness Resort & Spa is geared towards inner harmony and holistic well-being. Between active yoga classes and relaxing Ayurvedic spa treatments, sip on a healthy fruit juice or a cleansing herbal tea. Thanks to the glass fronts and private balconies, you can live in total harmony with nature in your own chalet and wake up to breathtaking views of emerald green rice fields or jungle-covered mountains.
Nestled against a hillside, the spa is the jewel of the resort and home to the country's first hydrotherapy facility. Inspired by the ancient Buddhist meditation caves in the surrounding mountains, this minimalist space features a steam room, cedar wood sauna, and thermal salt pool. Expert therapists offer Western treatments such as detoxifying scrubs, cleansing wraps, and hot stone massages, as well as a range of Ayurvedic practices such as Shirodhara and Takra Dhara therapies with vitamin-rich organic oils. Each wellness program is tailored and personalized to your individual needs by a team of experts and can last between 7 and 21 days, depending on your preferences.
The resort's accommodations consist of just 20 magnificent villas, each offering views of either the majestic mountains or the lush garden. All rooms are similarly minimalist in design to shift your focus from the material to your inner self, but feature balconies with lounge chairs from which you can overlook the picturesque natural surroundings. Wake up early and sit on your private balcony with a cup of tea to watch the sun rise over the mountains, hear the rainforest come to life as the mist clears and lush green rice fields appear.
Forget fixed menus: at Santani, you will receive your own personal menu, put together by the chef and the in-house Ayurvedic doctor. The cuisine is extremely healthy, detoxifying, and purifying—yet even gourmets can look forward to culinary delights of the highest order. From grilled Australian pasture-raised fillet to traditional curry with organic vegetables to crisp banana blossom salad with coconut flakes and tamarind dressing, everything is included. The minimalist bar also serves magnificent superfood cocktails, and there is a decent wine list and all the usual spirits.
