An hour's drive from Kathmandu, in the hilltop town of Dhulikhel, the Sanctuary is the quieter, more contemplative sibling of Dwarika's Hotel in the city.
An all-suite property with 40 residential spaces, each furnished with natural and local fabrics, it is rooted in Vedic wellbeing and Buddhist philosophy. In-house Ayurvedic doctors, yoga and meditation teachers, astrologers, Hindu priests and visiting Buddhist monks are all available throughout a stay, and the glass-walled restaurant beside the infinity pool has sweeping Himalayan views on a clear day.
What we love
- The depth and variety of the wellness offering here is remarkable; Ayurvedic doctors, yoga teachers, astrologers, Hindu priests and Buddhist monks, all available and all the real thing
- We love the glass restaurant beside the infinity pool. On a clear day the Himalayan views are simply extraordinary
- Combining a stay here with Dwarika's Hotel in Kathmandu makes for one of the most thoughtful and complete Nepal itineraries
- The guided hike to Namo Buddha, one of Nepal's most sacred pilgrimage sites, sets off directly from the property
The property works best as a dedicated two or three night stay rather than a quick add-on. Guests who try to combine it with a busy Kathmandu sightseeing schedule tend to feel rushed
This is fundamentally a wellness retreat and the programme is immersive. Guests who are not drawn to yoga, meditation or Ayurvedic treatments may find two nights here is plenty
