With today’s frenetic pace of life, getaways that offer more than just a plush suite and great room service are increasingly in demand.
Ananda in the Himalayas
Rishikesh
Possibly India’s most critically acclaimed wellness resort, with a loyal and dedicated following from around the world, what makes Ananda a must experience destination is the world class quality of service it has maintained for many years. Nestled far away from the madding crowd in the Garhwali mountains in Narendra Nagar, near Rishikesh, the resort is housed in a former palace, surrounded by lush lawns, golf courses, gardens, walkways and mountainous greenery. With 70 rooms, 4 exquisite suites, 3 decadent villas (with personal butler service, kitchens and pools), a state-of-the-art gym, yoga studio, ballroom, open air amphitheater, a spacious dining room and seemingly unending grounds, Ananda is truly a slice of heaven. The star attraction is the Ananda Spa. After consultations with the doctor, who discusses physical and mental health, every guest’s constituency or dosha is decided, and treatments and diet are planned accordingly. Every dosha has a specific menu for daily meals. The spa offers an expansive range of massage and wellness treatments, which form the integral part of the wellness packages. While Ananda’s longer packages are a hit worldwide, the newly introduced 5-night Detox Starter is an excellent combination of de-stress and rejuvenation, with therapies, massages, yoga, pranayam and spiritual discourse. Every session is an interaction, and the specialists endeavour to make it a personal experience based on the guest’s daily routine, so that the Ananda experience can extend even after your stay, making Ananda truly bucket list material. — AG
