Set in a privileged location on the palatial grounds of what was once the former residence of Maharaja Tehri-Garhwal, Ananda is situated within 100 acres of forested slopes and overlooks the Ganges River valley against a constantly changing backdrop of magnificent landscapes.

Seventy-eight uniquely designed accommodations have been thoughtfully appointed to complement the holistic pursuits that await, with interiors defined by an understated style, soft neutrals and wooden flooring.

Room categories range from Palace Rooms and Valley View Rooms to more spacious suites, and the property’s thoughtfully designed Ananda Suites offer a peaceful abode amidst the serene way of life synonymous with Ananda, enhanced by enriched hospitality that includes butler service.

One of its most notable highlights, Ananda’s world-renowned spa is widely regarded as the pièce de résistance of its wellbeing offering and spans more than 20,000 sq ft, featuring over 20 treatment rooms, hydrotherapy pools, and dedicated studios for yoga and meditation.

Tailored wellness journeys are supported by expert consultations and detox programmes, combined with stress-management therapies and a daily schedule of yoga classes and spiritual talks designed to regenerate body and soul.

The focus on regenerative health is also reflected in the dining experiences at Ananda, where meal plans are created to complement individual Ayurvedic doshas, with nutrition designed to optimise wellbeing programmes and emphasise organic, seasonal ingredients.
