The concept of wellness has become more holistic and inclusive now. Post the pandemic, escaping the stress of daily life, connecting with nature, and feeling rejuvenated are no longer things that we are wishing for but things on our weekly must-do lists.

An ever-increasing number of travellers are seeking wellness-based amenities with a focus on fitness, nutrition, and holistic experiences. Add to this the trend of staycation which has grown manifold.

Setting a wellness mark

The Global Wellness Institute has projected the wellness travel market will reach $919 billion, representing nearly 20 percent of global tourism. The wellness tourism market is slated to grow at an average annual rate of 7.5 percent by 2022. This means wellness facilities, spas, and alternative medicine centres will see an uptick in visitations and requests, reflecting the pent-up demand for wellness services as the pandemic eases.

As staycations and wellness become the buzzword of the year, an increasing number of wellness retreats have joined the bandwagon to redefine wellness, far away from the chaos of cities. These retreats are incorporating fitness classes, yoga sessions, and spa experiences to allow guests to unwind and relax.

Wholesome wellness

So, reclaiming the lost calm, and reconnecting with a quieter, calmer way of life has just got a tad easier. Joining the ranks is Siddha Wellness Village with its balance of hospitality and alternative wellness therapies. From handpicked blend of ancient oriental wellness therapies and organic farming to private home theatre, the sprawling Siddha Wellness just 40 kms away from Delhi glows bright with possibilities for the ultimate wellness staycation.

Talking about the USP of the property, Minu Singh, founder of Siddha Wellness Village said: “At the root of it all, we are aiming to return to the fundamental belief that our bodies are capable of self-healing given the right guidance and atmosphere. Siddha Wellness Village is a health and wellness centre to promote respect for life that we have lost somewhere along the way.”

Talking about how Siddha has positioned itself in the weekend getaway space in Delhi, she added: “For urban individuals who are looking for a getaway to break the monotony of their routine life, the wellness staycation resort is curating holistic wellness experiences. We concentrate on preventive healthcare. The anxiety and stress due to Covid-19 can be resolved with staycations. Here, our focused staycations offer the essence of these holistic therapies and wellbeing.”

Being one with nature

Offering a close-to-nature experience for its guests, spending time at Siddha comes easy. You can be one with nature as you listen to the birds, walk through the farms, breath the fresh air, smell the flowers in its gardens or pat the farm animals.

Perched on the first floor, the rooms at the property offer panoramic views of lush green garden. The rooms also feature open and furnished patio, perfect to relax over morning coffee or evening snacks.

A significant aspect of the stay here is its nutrition protocol. Interestingly, Siddha’s kitchen consists of everything organic and homegrown in its farms at the property. Most of this produce ultimately makes it to the guest’s plates.

Another favourite is Siddha’s Ayurvedic therapies. The therapists can customise total-health stays that include yoga, massage, and nutrition, based on each individual’s body type.

Mornings can begin with a quick yoga session with the resident yoga instructor, followed by breakfast. Guests can then head for their massage treatments, unwind in the garden or go for a quick dip in the pool.
