Description

What does true wellness look like in today’s high-speed world? 🌍


In this episode, we sit down with Vickum Nawagamuwage, founder of Santani Wellness Resort in Sri Lanka - a pioneering destination that has redefined what modern wellness can look like.


What began as one man’s search for realignment has turned into one of the world’s most celebrated wellness retreats, blending architecture, nature, and philosophy into a space for deep healing.


Vickum shares his personal journey, the lessons from building Santani, and why true wellness must be physical, mental, and emotional. We talk about the “architecture of silence,” the shift from hunter-gatherer rhythms to high-speed lives, and how balance is the foundation of resilience.


Whether you’re in hospitality, passionate about wellness, or simply navigating burnout in today’s world - this one’s full of wisdom and perspective you won’t want to miss. ✨
