A Rhythm to Return to
Each day begins with an energising morning practice, flowing movement, pranayama, kriya and meditation to awaken the body and steady the mind. Afternoons are spacious and yours to enjoy: relax on the beach, explore the local area or indulge in a treatment at the on-site Ayurvedic spa. In the evening, you’ll return to the mat for a grounding practice, restorative movement, yoga nidra or meditation, easing you into rest.
Midweek, we’ll venture out together for an optional excursion to explore Goa’s rich culture and wild beauty.

Accommodation & Pricing
Getting There
There are many flight options to Goa, including direct charter flights or scheduled flights via Mumbai, Delhi, or the Middle East. We recommend booking early to secure the best fares.
If you're flying via India, Air India or Middle Eastern airlines (like Qatar or Emirates) often allow you to check baggage through to Goa, avoiding the need to re-check in Mumbai or Delhi. British Airways is also a great option for those travelling light, with a generous hand luggage allowance.
Mandrem is approx. 1.5 hours from Goa Airport by taxi. We recommend booking an airport pickup through Ashiyana (€30 each way).
Visa: UK citizens and many others require an eVisa. Be sure to print the actual visa (not just the confirmation email) before departure. Apply here
