Serene and secluded with the Sal forests and overlooking the small town of Rishikesh in Northern India, Ananda In The Himalayas offers a one-of-a-kind luxury ayurvedic spa experience.

At Ananda, they integrate traditional Ayurveda, Yoga and Vedanta with international wellness experiences, fitness and healthy organic cuisine to restore balance and harmonize energy. How fancy!

Beside the usual ayurvedic spa treatments, they also have daily yoga and meditation classes. So if you think about it, it’s not just a spa but a holistic package to treat your senses!

The best? Try out their 5-night stress management treatment. It is one of the most recommended out of their range of packages.

Most people have extremely high expectations and Ananda Spa surpasses even those!

If you truly want to experience this spa retreat at its best, I’d advise you to go during autumn-winter period.

2. ESPA At The Leela Palace, Udaipur

When I think of Udaipur, the first words that come to mind are luxury redefined. Add to that the palatial opulence of The Leela Palace and its ayurvedic spa treatments, you know you’re in for some serious pampering.

ESPA is Udaipur’s largest tented luxury spa and it is sure to rejuvenate your mind, body and soul.

At ESPA you can rest and unwind in one of the various treatment tents adorned with luxurious silk which overlooks the beautiful views of the lake…

Trust me when I say that it doesn’t get any more serene than this.

They have various treatment packages like Soul Connect, Sojourn into Self, Senses of Udaipur and Ayurveda Special and the duration is anywhere between 2 and 7 nights. With the Ayurveda Special you can even customize your package.

This luxurious spa retreat in Udiapur is definitely beyond opulence!

3. Park Hyatt Resort And Spa, Goa

Another luxurious retreat that boasts of its spa treatments is Park Hyatt Resort and Spa in the party capital – Goa.

There really isn’t anything better than dancing the night away at some of the best beach clubs in the country and then winding down for a much needed luxury spa the next day.

Boasting a tranquil location on the shores of the Arabian Sea, Park Hyatt spreads across 45 acres of beautifully landscaped gardens. The spectacular expanse of the resort will leave you spell-bound.

The packages at Park Hyatt’s Sereno Spa start at USD $180 (plus taxes) for a 3 hour spa treatment. But if you only want to indulge in a 90 minute spa treatment, it will cost you approx USD $110.

Also, if you happen to be traveling with your kids, they even have a Kid’s Zone at Camp Hyatt where they can engage in playful activities under adult supervision.

5. Wildflower Hall Spa, Shimla

The final spa destination on my list of luxury spas in India is The Wildflower Hall Spa in Shimla, Himachal Pradesh.

Located at a height of 8,250 feet in a tranquil setting surrounded by the Himalayas, the picturesque views from Wildflower Hall Spa are straight out of a movie.

With holistic Ayurveda spa treatments based on ancient therapies, The Oberoi’s Wildflower Hall Spa attracts many tourists and luxury spa lovers.

From body scrubs to Himalayan Cedar baths, all their relaxing and rejuvenating spa treatments are well worth the mention.

The Wildflower Hall Spa boasts an open-air whirpool amidst thick cedar forest with nothing but the best views of the Greater Himalayas. Possibly the perfect location for some peaceful time out!

I recommend trying out their Signature Indigenous Rituals which are based on a 5,000 year old Ayurvedic philosophy, opening your third eye and balancing your chakras.
