The ultimate in Tibetan healing can be found at a new state of the art spa in India’s spiritual heartland. Surrounded by mango and lychee orchards and set on 21 acres, Vana Wellness Retreat has been the place to go since it opened a year ago but now there are even more reasons to visit, with the opening of a huge new Tibetan healing centre.

A blend of Chinese medicine, Ayurveda and Tibetan Buddhism, the new centre takes a holistic approach to care for your mind and emotions as much as your body. With a meditation cave, spiritual library and reflection pond, the centre brings together elements of peace and tranquility that can be found in these different ways of healing.

Each guests has an individual retreat to suit their personal objectives, whether it’s relaxation, weight loss or fitness. 10 specialist doctors, 30 practitioners and therapists are on hand to help you every step of the way on your journey.
