Frequently ranked among the world’s top spas, Ananda in the Himalayas offers myriad treatments, from Ayurveda to stress management and menopause retreats. This wellness resort includes a physiotherapy facility with localised cryotherapy treatment, gait and posture analysis, and a new infra-red sauna chamber. The design incorporates elements of traditional gond and yantric art with colourful tapestries inspired by ancient Himalayan kingdoms. A little over an hour away, Vana is now part of the Six Senses hotel collection. While the group is serious about wellness, it riffs on a more resort experience. A minimum three-night stay condition has replaced the previous seven-night regimen, and guests can now bring in their kids as well.
