Our approach encourages disconnecting from the daily hustle to reconnect with the mind, body, and soul, through nature centric approaches, traditional Indian practices including daily sunrise oga and meditation sessions (held outdoors to imbibe the spirit of our natural surroundings), sound healing sessions in the garden or on the beach, alongside indoor and outdoor Spa treatments, which incorporate select Ayurvedic and fusion spa therapies.

Please note that our indoor Spa services are offered on-call with prior notice. Outdoor massages include a riverside foot massage, or a neck and shoulder therapy in the garden areas

We also promote physical and mental rejuvenation through a variety of outdoor activities like mindful walking, nature treks, bird watching, and participation in the evening Ganga Aarti, all designed to foster a state of being "at one" with the environment and oneself.
