Ananda in the Himalayas (India)

Set in a maharaja's palace estate 1,000 feet above Rishikesh — the yoga capital of the world — Ananda is the pinnacle of Ayurvedic wellness. Programs are designed by Ayurvedic physicians after pulse diagnosis and dosha assessment, then customized down to the exact oils used in your massage. The 24,000-square-foot spa offers Vedanta philosophy sessions alongside panchakarma detox rituals. The view of the Ganges from the meditation deck at dawn is worth the 14-hour journey. Stays start around $500/night all-inclusive.
