Ananda, Himalayas
Share
A more rejuvenating experience would be hard to find. Set in the Himalayan foothills, Andanda's Eastern heritage defines one of the world's greatest holistic escapes.
The focus is squarely on restoring balance and harmony using a programme of yoga, diet and Ayurveda that work with mind, body and spirit in equal measure.
Despite the holistic, integral approach to re-gaining health and balance, this is not an ashram experience: set among 100 acres of virgin forest, Ananda boasts a Viceregal Palace, acclaimed spa, 75 deluxe rooms and suites and three private villas, housing two double bedrooms.
The spa is integral to any stay. Facilities include a Turkish steam bath, Finnish sauna, Jacuzzi, couples' suite, hydro-massage systems and outdoor swimming pool. Treatments are taken in 22 treatment or relaxation rooms.
Guests are prescribed a personalised programme that includes nutrition, exercise, stress management, detoxification and relaxation.

Those with a love for yoga will rejoice. So-called Ananda Yoga embraces a wide range of yoga traditions, including hatha, kriya and raja; beginners and experienced practitioners alike are encouraged to sink into a programme that embraces meditation and pranayama (breathing techniques). A dedicated Yoga Pavilion sets the scene.
For a more outgoing experience, guests can take part in a programme that includes swimming, squash, golf, nature walks, kayaking, angling and white water rafting.
