Lanka, and becoming one of the most celebrated new hotels in the world over the last six years. Its prestigious accolades including being selected as one of the World’s 100 Greatest Places by TIME magazine, one of Tatler’s Eight Best Spas in the World, and one of Forbes’ 25 Most Unusual Hotels, among many others. But while the outward brilliance


S


and promise of an amazing location with the best food and service in Sri Lanka were evident, the key promise of Santani, ‘Wellness 2.0’ was still to be tested. Can ayurveda really change the game of wellness? Is Santani’s bold take on creating a preventative healthcare paradigm, which includes a toolkit to help optimise health and wellbeing, really working? In a recent interview, the founder


and CEO of Santani, Vickum Nawagamuwage answered this ques- tion and explained why Wellness 2.0 has exceeded all expectations. “Our vision of Wellness 2.0 is to help restore a person to their best state


antani has made headlines since opening its doors as the first wellness resort in Sri


physically, mentally and spiritually. Santani’s main focus is on detoxing and cleansing, which we believe is essential for preventative care. “A common misconception exists


among people that the agrochemicals and chemicals in our food are the only toxins. But panchakarma, the ancient ayurvedic detoxing and cleansing practice, which has been around for thousands of years, existed long before people consumed processed foods or used agrochemicals. Why were


they detoxing back then if


the food they consumed was clean and healthy? “We believe the answer is meta-


bolic waste. Our bodies become less efficient at expelling waste as we age, which can lead to accumula- tion. Santani aims to help to get rid of these, thereby creating a preventa- tive paradigm.” Read these

find out how you could benefit from visiting Santani.


Case study one A 42-year-old male diagnosed with frozen shoulder couldn’t lift his arm


above his shoulder. He was to undergo surgery after failing to fix the issue for over two years with a 50% chance of success. Tree weeks at Santani restored


his arm to 360-degree rotation. In his own words: “Two weeks later, once I was back home, my shoulder pain was gone! I could suddenly (and still can) rotate my arm 360 degrees, exercise, work and sleep. Te holistic treat- ment at Santani, which includes not only the body but also the mind and soul, has achieved what my top-class doctors here in Germany had not been able to do for two years! I’ve just spent my second three-


week-stint at Santani and I’m feeling better than ever!”


Case study two A 37-year-old male diagnosed with an autoimmune condition that caused his platelet count to slowly decrease for over six years had a platelet count of 81,000/mm3 on arrival at Santani, but after a five-day detox, his platelet count went up to 122,000/mm3.


Mr Nawagamuwage further states that over 40% of Santani guests are now repeat visitors. Tis signifies how well Santani’s wellness offering meets the needs of


the fast-paced


lives people live today. What’s also interesting is that Santani is visited by many non-wellness guests as well — everyone enjoys the peace of mind that the hotel is designed to provide. Now you know why Santani has


been named as one of TIME maga- zine’s World’s 100 Greatest Places. You don’t want to miss this heavenly place when visiting Sri Lanka.
