    Soul Nurturing, Nature's Tranquility, Peaceful Health- A Journey to Ananda in the Himalayas
    2025/06/26

    In this month’s episode of the X8, we explore the world-renowned wellness retreat and spa Ananda in the Himalayas.

    We are fortunate to be joined by Dr. Sreelal Sankar, the General Manager, who helps to uncover the origins and philosophy behind Ananda, its unique approach to holistic health, and the reasons people seek out this natural oasis. He will share with us a bit of the retreat's history, its founder's vision, and later we also delve into what a typical day at Ananda looks like, the typical duration of guest stays, and the role cuisine plays in any wellness journey. Ananda prides itself on educating guests about healthy living and eating, helping them make lasting changes even after they leave; and we are happy to be telling you about this lovely property today!

    Welcome Dr. Sreelal Sankar, GM of the Ananda in the Himalayas

    01:30: Can you tell us a little bit about how Ananda in the Himalayas got started and a bit about the Founder?

    07:45: What are some of the reasons that people give when they arrive, or even before they arrive, for why they need a retreat like this?

    08:10: What are the most common themes you see that people need help with, health-wise or mentally?

    15:00: Especially for guests from the US, what is the usual length of a wellness journey retreat at Ananda?

    17:30: What happens on a typical day? What could a guest expect to be doing from sunrise to sunset?

    26:00: When people hear “wellness,” they start to wonder about the dining experiences—will they have freedom to choose what they want to eat?

    28:00: Can you tell us a little about the cuisine and how it works at Ananda?

    30:00: How do you help guests understand and appreciate healthy food, and do you provide education so they can take these lessons home?

    32:00: How do you address the common reflex to view healthy food as restrictive or less enjoyable, in order to help guests to instead welcome a change of their perception?

    Where should we go to get in touch to learn more about a visit?

    Every week, X8 Global Luxury Travel Podcast brings you the most exotic properties in the most luxurious destinations around the world. From Monaco to the Maldives, from Bali to Borneo to Bahrain, if five stars is your minimum, you'll find them all on X8! Welcome back to X8; thanks so much for joining us and for subscribing! #LuxuryTravel #Dolomites #WhereToStay This week, we unveil one of Italy’s best-kept secrets—the ADLER Spa Resort Dolomiti in the breathtaking Val Gardena region of Northern Italy. Nestled in Ortisei, this historic retreat has been owned and operated by the Sononer family for over 200 years and is now managed by the seventh generation. Joining us today is General Manager, Marco Scola, who shares why ADLER is more than just a resort—it’s an alpine sanctuary where tradition, wellness, and nature come together. Ortisei, the most important village in Val Gardena, sits at the heart of the UNESCO-listed Dolomite Mountains, offering visitors a year-round paradise. In winter, the region transforms into a wonderland for alpine and cross-country skiers, with ski-in/ski-out access just steps from the ADLER. Come spring and summer, the landscape bursts to life, making it the perfect setting for hiking, e-biking, and outdoor adventures. Easily accessible from Milan, Munich, Venice, and Verona, ADLER is an ideal luxury extension for any Italian or European getaway. The ADLER in Ortisei offers two distinct but connected properties: ADLER Spa Resort Dolomiti – A fairytale alpine escape with 108 rooms, vast spa facilities, and a 9,000-square-meter natural oasis. ADLER Spa Resort Balance – An intimate 31-room retreat focused on holistic wellness and medical programs,with personalized health and nutrition plans guided by on-site doctors.

A heated indoor-outdoor pool, featuring a crystal pyramid said to channel positive energy to guests, leaving them with new strength and harmony. 24-hour fitness studio with guided activities like hiking, biking, and winter sports. Medical spa programs with tailored diet plans, starting with a personal checkup upon arrival. South Tyrol’s rich cultural history brings a unique blend of Austrian heartiness and Mediterranean finesse to ADLER’s dining experiences. Guests can savor traditional Speck & Knödel paired with fine wines, fresh seafood and handmade pasta inspired by Italy’s coastal flavors, and locally sourced ingredients showcasing the region’s farm-to-table philosophy. The ADLER boasts four seasons of adventure for guests of all ages and interests. Outdoor lovers especially have endless ways to explore Val Gardena, with year-round guided activities included in every stay. These include ski-in/ski-out access to the Dolomite ski slopes, expert ski guides, and direct booking of ski passes through the resort in winter. Daily hiking and e-biking tours through some of the Dolomites’ most stunning landscapes in the warmer months and finally a dedicated Kids Club open all day, offering fun, seasonal activities for the children. Marco, a true local, shares his go-to places for an unforgettable experience in Val Gardena. On his time off, he regularly frequents Alpe di Sius where he rides the cable car up to explore this peaceful plateau by bike. He also enjoys an early morning adventure, biking the Passo Sella & Passo Gardena. Finally, Marco tells about his favorite family spot, Monte Pana Panaraida Trail, that features a forest adventure park with interactive stations for kids. The ADLER Spa Resort Dolomiti is a destination for every occasion. From romantic getaways to wellness retreats and special events like the Val Gardena hiking marathon, ADLER Spa Resort Dolomiti offers an unparalleled luxury experience.
