Mind
Ananda in the Himalayas, India
Private jet to: Dehradun, India

This destination spa resort is situated in the tranquil Himalayan foothills, close to the ancient mythological cities of Haridwar and Rishikesh.

If harmony could be found within then they would be at peace with their surroundings. Ananda is a spiritual place that combines well-known traditional Indian wellness practices of Ayurveda, Yoga and Vedanta with contemporary international therapies.
The stillness of the mountains and natural flow of the rivers provide an enchanting backdrop for the process of harmonising mind, body and soul.
