Step into the past and experience colonial charm at our 150-year-old villa, once the residence of the village chief. Fully renovated in 2015/2016, the villa boasts a living room, dining hall, veranda, and open living area.
The property consists of the main villa and the lodge, just a 2-minute walk from each other. The lodge was the original home of the colonial treasure’s first occupier, while the villa, with 8 rooms (2 suites and 6 deluxe rooms), a dining hall, lounge, verandahs, and spa, was built by the son for his growing family.
Each space was thoughtfully restored to a contemporary colonial style with guests’ comfort and modern needs in mind. The lodge features both Standard and Deluxe rooms, all beautifully furnished with luxury bathrooms.
During your retreat, you’ll enjoy daily Ayurvedic meals and snacks made from fresh, organic ingredients designed to enhance the detox process. Each day, experienced instructors will guide you through yoga and meditation sessions aimed at achieving mental clarity, reducing stress and anxiety, and improving overall health and well-being.
Engaging afternoon activities, such as guided walks, cookery demonstrations, and discussions on yoga philosophy and Ayurveda, provide ample opportunities to deepen your knowledge, connect with nature, and build lasting friendships with like-minded individuals. This retreat is the perfect gift for yourself or a loved one ready to embrace a healthier, happier lifestyle. On your first day, you will undergo an initial consultation to help us understand your physical ailments, areas of mental stress, lifestyle, and wellness objectives.
