The scent of fresh flowers, intoxicating fragrance of indulgent oils and calm, serene energy – a spa promises an immersive and a transformative wellness experience. Designed with comfort and elegance in mind, a spa is a sanctuary that ensures a deep state of relaxation, allowing the patrons to leave behind the mundaneness of city life and instead offers an opportunity to rejuvenate and recover from the chaotic banality of urban life.
Mahesh Natarajan, Senior Vice President, Ananda in the Himalayas, says, “The location of a place of healing needs to be away from the rigmarole of a city life, for one to experience therapeutic change. The spiritual vitality of the Himalayan foothills blends with the mystical energy of Rishikesh and the blessed holiness of the Ganga, making Ananda an ideal nurturing cocoon to heal the mind, body and soul. The palatial estate spread over 100 acres,
overlooking the Gangetic valley on one side, and the snow-clad Himalayan peaks on the other, is truly a slice of well being heaven. The private luxurious villas, well-appointed suites and opulent rooms make Ananda an ideal getaway to destress, detox and rejuvenate.”
