Spa

A quiet spa and wellness retreat near Satpura Tiger Reserve, the Spa sits behind the cottages, set back from the lawn so the rooms get nothing but bird call and the rustle of the sal canopy. The treatment rooms each open onto a small private courtyard with a bench and a planter of local herbs.

Our therapists work in the traditions that travel well at the edge of a forest: Kerala oil therapy at the heart of the menu, with hot stone and a longer-format Panchakarma programme for guests who want to slow down for several days. A small list of tribal-Satpura herbal therapies, neem, vetiver, and wild ginger pulped fresh from the kitchen garden, runs alongside.

Beyond the treatment rooms, the spa has a steam bath, a dry sauna, and a small pedi-mani station. Appointments run from 10 AM to 10 PM. Walk-ins are welcome when slots are free, but weekend afternoons fill up fast: best to book ahead at check-in.

Hours 10 AM to 10 PM Open every day
Treatments Kerala Oil · Hot Stone · Panchakarma Plus tribal herbal therapies

On the Menu

Signature Treatments

A short, curated list: we'd rather do a handful of treatments well than carry a menu that runs to 10 pages. The full price card is at the spa reception.

Kerala Oil Therapy

60 / 90 minutes

Classical Kerala-style warm-oil therapy: Abhyanga full-body and Shirodhara forehead pour. Slow, rhythmic, and weighted; chosen for travellers who arrive stiff from the road and the spa's quietest treatment for guests who haven't slept well in weeks.

Hot Stone Massage

75 minutes

Heated basalt stones placed along the spine and worked into the shoulders and lower back: the safari-day treatment, taken after a long jeep drive or a foot safari in the buffer zone.

Panchakarma

Multi-day programme

The classical Ayurvedic five-action detox, scaled to a forest stay. A guided 3 to 7-day plan built around oil therapy, herbal steam, dietary support, and rest: offered as a relaxation package and best paired with a longer cottage booking.

Steam, Sauna & Pedi-Mani

Walk-in · 30 to 60 minutes

A steam bath, a dry sauna, and a small pedi-mani station: available on their own or as the warm-down after a treatment. Useful between safaris and walks.
