Ananda in the Himalayas
By Mahoot
India’s only destination spa, Ananda is a glorious hotel, clinging to a ridge in the Himalayan foothills. Undoubtedly one of the best hotels in India, Conde Nast Traveller Magazine ranks it Number 2 of the world’s ‘best overseas destination spas’. The resort boasts unbeatable spa facilities, peaceful solitude and a chance to get back to nature, whilst surrounded by luxury. The restaurant offers superb cuisine and dedicated spa menus which can be personalised according to the spa doctor’s recommendations. It has staggering views and the nearby swimming pool is the perfect place to relax, in a climate that is ideal almost year round. The bedrooms are beautifully decorated in soft colours and each has a balcony overlooking either the valley or the hotel grounds. The bathrooms are state of the art and one is unlikely to find a better valley view from a bathtub anywhere else in the world! The exceptional spa is a haven of tranquillity, with 15 excellent treatment rooms and a team of highly qualified, friendly staff. It offers a wide range of treatments from all over the world and it excels in the art of Ayurveda. The yoga pavilion is a magical place to spend time in quiet contemplation, guided by some of the country’s finest teachers.
