The Ananda in the Himalayas the perfect amalgamation of modern spa techniques, age-old ancient secrets, unabashed luxury and unbeatable Indian hospitality. |
“Ananda:” by definition means “bliss” in the ancient Indian language of
Sanskrit and the Ananda In the Himalayas seeks to provide the same
state of mind. This world-class luxury spa is the perfect place to
rejuvenate and revitalize and has been often voted by Conde Nast
Traveller as one the world’s best spa destinations.
This world class Destination Spa is located in Rishikesh, India and is
perched on a hill and flanked by the intimidating Sal forest, making the
location completely sublime. Surrounded by the mighty Himalayas on all
sides, this luxury resort was once the residence of Maharaja of Tehri-
Garhwal and the grandeur of the past is still visible in the property. Be it
the reception area, which was the Viceregal Palace in olden times or the
Maharaja's library, which is dotted with royal memorabilia and also
houses the oldest billiards table in the country.
But there is more to Ananda than its rich historic past and it is the world-
class spa that attracts thousands of travellers from all over the globe.
Mixing international holistic principles with thousands of year old
philosophies of Ayurveda, Yoga and Vedanta, Ananda is the ideal place
to indulge in relaxing therapies or to follow calmer pursuits. The spa is
spread over 24,000 square foot, has 24 treatment rooms, offers an
extensive menu of over 79 body and beauty treatments, and also
features a temperature controlled outdoor lap pool and a state of the
art 16-station life-cycle gymnasium. Apart from offering Indian and
international massage therapies by highly trained specialists, the spa also
organizes discourses on meditation and Vedanta philosophy.
Ananda In the Himalayas also encompasses legendary Indian hospitality.
From the moment one enters the property, care is taken to cater to one's
every need. The meals are personalized, the produce is organic, and one
can choose from Indian, European, Oriental and Western cuisine.
One can choose between any of the 70 rooms and 5 suites, which
feature balconies and terraces with views of the valley or Maharaja’s
Palace. Or book any of the one or two-bedroom villas which have
private plunge pools, a butler service and magnificent views of the
Rishikesh valley. Those who want to take a break from all the pampering,
can enjoy the world-class gold course, go for a safari in the forests or visit
the banks of the holy Ganges and soak in the Indian culture. The
adventurous can request the hotel to organize a rafting experience or a
trek in the Himalayan forests.
The Ananda Spa is the perfect amalgamation of modern spa techniques,
age-old ancient secrets, unabashed luxury and unbeatable Indian
hospitality. This destination spa is a must for those who want to go on a
holistic journey in search of paradise or “ananda”.
