    I had the most wonderful time in Shreyas! I was very well looked after and I can’t wait to go again next year. I highly recommend the resort and Health and Fitness Travel. The booking was very easy and all was organised for me!

    Visited October 2013

    This is exactly the holiday I have been looking for for many years. Relaxing, rejuvenating, best staff ever, I felt they are my own friends of family. Beautiful landscape, super tent cottages, delicious food and services. Though very calm and serene there are a lot to do. Twice yoga classes a day, great and diverse massages, strolling in the beautiful landscape. The sunrise with an orchestra of birds are absolutely wonderful experience. .... I spent one week but i will stay more next time..as I AM DEFINITELY GOING BACK SOON.

    Visited October 2013

    I stayed at Shreyas for 5 nights and was absolutely overwhelmed by the attention to detail, the warmness of the staff, the beautiful rooms, the delicious and flavoursome food, the list really is endless...

    I did the yoga retreat and it was truly a life changing experience. The teachers are very knowledgeable and get to know your strengths and weaknesses almost immediately; no yoga class is the same.
