The spa is fine and it's in a stunning location. Sadly that's all that's good about this location. The food is or terrible quality and the service was so variable sometimes you might have your main served before you have finished your starter, you might not even get food delivered and be argued with over the fact you ordered anything... more

This was one of the most remarkable experiences I've ever had in my life. The location is miraculous. Views of Rishikesh and Ganga. Fresh air. Incredible sunsets. The grounds are beautiful. What made this place most special was the service. Never before have I experienced such absolute care - from every single staff member. Each showed a genuine interest in... more

I am from Canada. I arrived after three months of a grueling work schedule. I took five days to unwind. Ananda did more than unwind me. It awoke me and started me back on a journey of health and self care. I have travelled the world and stayed in many wonderful spa resorts. Ananda is in the top three. The... more

I just got back from a trip at Ananda with my partner and I already want to go back there again. Although it took us a while to attune ourselves to the place, the yoga and detoxification was very relaxing. The staff was very courteous and accommodating to all our needs. I feel totally rejuvenated and alive now. more

Ananda is consistently ranked as the #1 spa in the world and the only reason why it's taken us this long to visit is because it's a bit complicated to get to, and you worry you'll get bored all the way up there at a destination spa - what do you when you're not getting a massage?? How wrong we... more

Staying at the Ananda Spa over Easter was a great treat and a break away from the noise and rush of Delhi. We loved the location and the fantastic views over the valley below. The facilities were also fantastic. We used the Gym and pool several times and joined the beginners Yoga in the mornings. The Spa was amazing and... more
