EXCELLENT Based on 89 reviews Ben2023-06-29Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Such an amazing place. The yoga instructors, receptionists and even the owner were so friendly. We went on the yoga retreat and the meals were phenomenal. I can't wait to go back. Steven Judge2023-06-24Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Came here for the 11-day fasting detoxification programme recommended to me by a client of mine, it was perfect. Tranquil environment throughout the centre, which was so conducive to the process. Daily yoga, meditation, massage and herbal steam sauna were all perfect additions to the programme (if you felt like doing them, can also just chill). The location is stunning, and the Shell Lounge (beach front) Cafe directly across the road was perfect for relaxing before, during and after the programme. Noah and stuff running the detox bar were so friendly, efficient and fun to be around. The owners and stuff running the centre were similarly excellent. Just an awesome vibe all-round. I'll definetley be back. As a naturopath, I'd absolutley recommend my clients to Ananda if they were looking for a fasting and detoxification programme to partake in. Highly Recommended! Stephan Maag2023-06-21Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Mitte Mai war ich für das 3,5 tägige Detox Programm und 7 weitere Tage Yoga Retreat zu Gast. Ich war absolut begeistert von meinem Aufenthalt. Villy, die Detox Managerin, hat auf mich einen sehr kompetenten Eindruck gemacht, so dass ich mich während des Prozess absolut sicher gefühlt habe. Das war mir wichtig und hat mir sehr geholfen. Auch die Yogaklassen fand ich allesamt super, und ich habe aus jeder Klasse etwas für mich mitgenommen. Soweit ich das einschätzen konnte, ist die Qualität der Yoga Lehrer sehr hoch! Überhaupt ist das Angebot groß. Es gab bis zu acht verschiedene Klassen und Workshops am Tag. Wer in seiner Yogapraxis wachsen möchte, ist hier auf jeden Fall am richtigen Ort. Die täglichen Massagen waren Klasse, und das leckere vegetarische Essen vermisse ich sehr. Dazu empfand ich alle Staffmember als sehr herzlich, unterstützend und hilfsbereit. Egal ob Yoga Teacher, Detox Bar Crew, Masseuses oder Manager. Mir hat jeder meinen Aufenthalt so angenehm wie möglich gemacht. Vielen Dank! Mads Fjordbak2023-05-29Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
