Ayurveda Parkschlösschen,
Germany
Located in an 11-acre parkland surrounded by vineyards
and the gently flowing Mosel River, the Ayurveda
Parkschlösschen is synonymous with Ayurveda detox
in Europe. From its interior created in accordance with
Vastu (the traditional Hindu approach to architecture with
emphasis on sustainability and the natural world), to soul-
nurturing vegetarian food, yoga, meditation and a menu
of medically curated Ayurvedic massages, all are designed
to cleanse and regenerate from within. The three-day Take
A Break programme offers the perfect introduction to
Ayurveda, while longer programmes like the comprehensive
21-day panchakarma detox are also available.

Sonnhof Resort, Austria
India meets the Tyrolean Mountains at the 30-room
family-run Resort Sonnhof in Thiersee where an honest
taste of European Ayurveda is available while breathing
the freshest alpine air. This East-meets-West concept
runs throughout the infrastructure of the retreat with
OM meditation rooms, Shakti fireplaces, Ayurveda-
themed lounges, saunas, moon pool and heat therapy.
As nutrition is the cornerstone of every good Ayurvedic
experience, the dosha-specific vegetarian cuisine uses
the finest ingredients sourced from local farms and
markets. The inclusive menu of programmes ranges
from the shorter duration Ayurveda Taster to the full-on
Panchakarma lasting up to 21 days. With twice-daily
yoga sessions and a menu of Ayurvedic massage
treatments, Sonnhof is the place to re-energise and
rebalance the body’s vital energies.
