SANTANI WELLNESS RESORT & SPA

Wellness is indeed one the key aspects of a stay at Santani, but the owners are keen to avoid a regimented experience for their guests. Your stay can be as organised or as relaxed as you choose, with options ranging from personalised Ayurvedic healing and detox packages to dedicated yoga retreats or health programmes focusing on stress, diet, insomnia and addiction. Alternatively, guests can simply choose a purely leisure-focussed stay, with ample free time to relax in the pristine natural surroundings, swim in rivers, hike through the hills and enjoy some pampering in the exquisite spa. This flexible approach also extends to dining where – if you are not following a specific programme – you can simply take the chef’s daily recommendations, and feast on creative ‘gourmet wellness’ cuisine accompanied by fine biodynamic wines.
