Mijn verblijf was magisch. Het personeel doet echt haar best voor elke gast. Om nog maar te zwijgen over de adembenemende plek zelf.

Ik heb een week midden in de natuur doorgebracht in Ananda. Het is echt een prachtig landgoed op een heuveltop, een oase van rust. Mijn hart is gevuld met geluk en dankbaarheid. De spa behandelingen, het eten, de gastvrijheid, alles was uitzonderlijk. Ik hoop volgende zomer weer terug te komen voor een weekje self care.

Spent 3 nights here. Had one of the most relaxing and peaceful stay. The property is very well maintained, the staff goes above and beyond, the food is healthy and delicious, and the massages are the best!
I do recommend to book your massages in advance because the calendar gets pretty tight!
The morning chanting and yoga sessions help to start the day on the right note. There are multiple events through the course of the day so you do have enough to keep you busy, but at your own pace.
I left the resort relaxed and completely de-stressed.
