Mandali Retreat Services and Key Features

The design of Mandali Retreat is inspired by the medieval Italian towns surrounding the rehab. Its construction involved a lot of repurposing of the locally retrieved materials.

The rehab offers plenty of key facilities and features that support clients in achieving a balance between their mental, physical, and spiritual health. Some of these key features are explained below:

Food

Mandali offers delicious, locally sourced food prepared by chefs to balance nourishment and encourage good health. The rehab provides three meals a day, along with fresh fruit, herbal teas, and filtered water available all day.

Mandali offers a vegetarian menu that is locally sourced by a chef. The menu has Italian cuisine with mixed modern flavors and often includes seasonal vegetables to add variety and uniqueness. Alternative menu options, such as dairy-free or gluten-free meals, are also available to accommodate client needs. The rehab strongly encourages everyone with special needs to be informed of these requirements upon making a booking.

Rooms

Mandali has plenty of high-quality, cozy rooms that can accommodate 57 guests at a time. Different types of accommodation are available to suit all needs and budgets, including dormitory-style rooms and premium single rooms with stunning views of the garden and surrounding hills. The rehab also has a couple of hermitages with personal kitchenettes.

All spaces at Mandali have been designed to make clients feel comfortable and homely. There are quiet spaces for when clients need to relax and introspect and public spaces where they can interact and mingle with others.

Garden & Sustainable Ecosystem

One of Mandali’s core values is harmony with the ecosystem. Hence, the owners paid special attention to ensuring that its construction only uses eco-friendly materials.

The rehab uses wood chips for heating and solar panels to power the kitchen and swimming pools. Any surplus energy it produces is given to the local grid so the community can use it. Additionally, to maintain sustainability, the rehab uses locally sourced vegetables to prepare the daily vegetarian menu.

Mandali Retreat has a private garden with chestnut trees, flowers, bees, and three resident cats. It offers plenty of spots to sit down and reflect. Other garden highlights include a little pond, a zen labyrinth, a centuries-old water well, and a cozy fire pit. Despite having many icons belonging to different religions, the owners of Mandali Yoga Center have clarified that they do not reject or practice any specific religion.
