LEAVE YOU FEELING DEEPLY ENERGISED AND REFRESHED
Surrounded by graceful Sal forests in the Himalayan foothills, this acclaimed wellness retreat sits within the 100-acre grounds of a Maharaja’s Palace.
Perfectly poised above the spiritual town of Rishikesh and the sacred Ganges river valley, a stay at Ananda will leave you feeling deeply energised and refreshed. Here, ancient Indian healing practices are combined with international wellness therapies, healthy cuisine and fitness. Qualified Ayurveda doctors are on hand to administer personalised treatment programs, with complimentary yoga sessions and daily interactive talks from Vedanta disciples also on the menu. Easily accessible by train or flight from Delhi, it’s the perfect place to spend a few serene days.
The award-winning Ananda Spa, with its richly varied treatment menu, is the principal attraction, though the beautiful surroundings provide the opportunity for nature walks and white water rafting for those feeling more adventurous. The 78 rooms and suites provide the ultimate private retreats, with clean lines, contemporary furniture and swathes of polished, dark wood.
