Set to celebrate its 25th anniversary in 2025, Indian wellness retreat Ananda in the Himalayas recently unveiled the latest additions to its luxury accommodations, along with a series of renovations to several of the property’s premier suites. Deepa Sama, a Delhi-based designer, led the six-month project. With the completion of these additions and renovations, the wellness retreat located on 100 acres of grounds and gardens in the Himalayan foothills now offers 64 rooms, three villas and eight suites.
Of note, Ananda in the Himalayas has debuted a brand new room category to its portfolio—the Deluxe Suites. Overlooking the Rishikesh valley or the Maharaja’s gardens, these two new suites offer a private balcony. Inside, the suites have bedrooms connected to sitting rooms. The bathrooms in the Deluxe Suites have spacious layouts with large mirrors, bathtubs and windows that frame the garden or valley vistas. Each suite has two fully appointed bathrooms, offering the space and privacy for guests traveling with another. Additionally, the new Garden Suite offers a secluded garden, adding to the privacy of the suite with an outdoor deck with a chaise-lounge and tea table.

The redesign project also included refurbishments to the property’s Ananda Suite and Viceregal Suite. Housed on the ground floor and overlooking the valley, the three-bay Ananda Suite has a large private garden with gazebo seating. Located in the precincts of the Maharaja’s Palace, the historic Viceregal Suite has its own private terrace with a rooftop gazebo overlooking the landscaped gardens and the distant Ganga Valley.
Ananda completed an extensive property-wide renovation in June 2022, the culmination of a three-year redesign project focusing on the renovation of the villas, restaurant and spa. Since then, the resort has added a new culinary show kitchen, along with launching several new wellness programs dedicated to addressing issues of hormonal health, sleep enhancement, fertility and more.
