The pool
Cut into the slope, facing the jungle. Warmest in the late morning, quietest at first light.

Rest at Welikande
Rest is part of the practice, not a reward for finishing it.
A wellness centre has just been created in the main building, in what used to be a guest room.
It is new, and what it will offer is being decided.
Tush grew up in a family where Ayurvedic knowledge was inherited: her grandfather was an Ayurvedic doctor, and she still uses what he taught her in the kitchen.
In the meantime, most of the resting here happens outdoors. Between the morning and evening classes there is a long, unhurried middle to the day, and the estate is arranged around it.
Where people rest
The middle of the day, and what it is for
The veranda
Hammocks looking down to Victoria Lake. This is where the afternoon goes, and nobody minds.
The meditation shala
Kept quiet and open to the water. Guided sessions run alongside the yoga, and it is yours the rest of the time.
The wellness centre
Ask usTreatments are not running at the moment. Ask when you book and we will tell you what is available during your stay.
