Nestled in the serene embrace of the Sahyadri Mountains in Maharashtra, Dharana at Shillim is an award-winning luxury wellbeing retreat spread across a lush forested estate, this eco-luxury wellness destination invites you to step away from the chaos and immerse yourself in intentional living.
More than just a sanctuary for the senses, it is a space where the philosophy of intentional living is practiced and preserved. With nature as both healer and teacher, Dharana invites guests to slow down, reset, and reconnect, within and without.
Dharana’s bespoke wellness journeys go far beyond conventional spa indulgences. Here, wellness is a deeply transformative path, tailored with purpose. Each programme is rooted in the science of Ayurveda, ancient Indian wisdom, and modern integrative medicine. From time-tested Panchakarma therapies and detox rituals to structured weight management and cardiovascular strengthening, every experience is adapted to suit the guest’s constitution and current state of health. Signature retreats such as Rasayana promote longevity and immunity, while the Yogic Path delves into mental clarity and spiritual grounding. Even the short-stay wellness immersions—ranging from one to three nights—are crafted with intention, offering an impactful preview into the Dharana approach. For guests seeking to address chronic or specific health issues, the Individualised Programme requires a minimum 14-night stay and offers an integrative roadmap to wellness.
Central to Dharana’s philosophy is its commitment to personalised wellbeing. Every journey begins with an in-depth diagnostic process, aligning treatments with each guest’s dosha, vikruti (imbalance), and lifestyle.
Nutrition at Dharana is viewed as a vital tool for healing and harmony. Seasonal produce, sacred herbs, and traditional recipes form the core of its cuisine, empowering guests to feel lighter, energised, and reconnected with food in a meaningful way.
