Best Wellness Retreats In India

Without question, India is the most engaging, colourful, spiritual and life-affirming country on the planet. It is an assault on the senses - all of them. It is holy, nurturing and spiritual. There are few better places in the world to head to for a wellness journey than India. It’s the home of the ancient practice of Ayurveda, one of the oldest medical disciplines and a practice that is integral to Indian culture. Alongside Ayurveda, India’s wellbeing offerings include yoga and meditation, which is increasingly popular amid today’s mindfulness boom. Retreats are now all-encompassing, covering everything from holistic health and stress reduction to personal growth, nutrition and fitness. India provides the chance to escape the daily treadmill, to enhance spiritual growth, and to learn to live life to the full. For those who want to enter the fray and see the country at its most nurturing, profound and spiritual, then a visit to one of our favourite Spas & Retreats is just the ticket.
