Dharana At Shillim
India, Indian SubcontinentLocated just three hours from the bustling metropolis of Mumbai in the serene mountains of the Western Ghats, a UNESCO World Heritage Site is Dharana at Shillim, a one-of-a-kind eco-wellness retreat offering a soothing sanctuary for body, mind and spirit.
Its tranquil setting aside, what really draws people to this all villa retreat is its unique wellness philosophy which combines the most advanced Western diagnostics with traditional age-old Eastern Ayurvedic practice to help heal, prevent and transform. Bespoke wellness programmes ranging from detox to yoga to stress management blend modern medical diagnostics with ancient Ayurvedic treatments like herbal oil massages, synchronised Abhyanga massages and much more - all of which are carried out using seeds, flowers, roots and oils grown and produced locally.
Food also plays a very important part in the retreat's wellness philosophy with all the ingredients for their nutritionally balanced dishes rich in vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants sourced from the local area. There are also regular cooking classes, so you can learn how to keep eating healthily once you return home.
When not undergoing treatments, guests can experience daily yoga, meditation and fitness classes and enjoy the property’s amenities, which include a swimming pool and several restaurants or explore the stunning natural beauty of the surrounding area on hiking expeditions.
