Philosophy
"Athithi devo bhava" is the guiding philosophy at Shreyas, meaning "The guest is God" in English. It is an Indian maxim that emphasizes appreciation and hospitality towards guests.
At Shreyas, this philosophy is deeply internalized as we believe that "all people are fundamentally divine" and that our relationships with each other, especially with our guests, should reflect this. Our guests are lovingly served with unparalleled personal attention by a staff that practices yoga and strives to embody this philosophy. The staff are encouraged to serve guests as part of their spiritual discipline, not merely as a job or career; serving is different from being subservient, as the focus is on connecting with the divinity inherent in every guest.
Shreyas Team
With a dedicated team of 80 individuals, including doctors, yoga instructors, therapists, chefs, and various professionals, Shreyas offers an intimate and enriching experience due to its limited guest capacity. 75% of the team have remained loyal to the guests since Shreyas was founded in 2004. This combination of expertise and dedication makes Shreyas a unique retreat.
Kaveri Vanita Sevashrama Children's Home
Since 2007, Shreyas has been a proud supporter of the Kaveri Vanita Sevashrama Children's Home. Currently, about 50 children live in the orphanage, attending various grades. With the support of guests, Shreyas helps to fund the education of these children until they find employment. Several young women from KVS have successfully completed their education and are now employed in the city. As a guest, you are welcome to help with harvesting vegetables, herbs, and fruits or preparing meals for the children's home. Simply speak to the team on site.

as a couple | 50 to 59 years | 12 - 16 days
Original hatha yoga experience in a beautiful, small retreat with very personal and attentive care, where everyone goes the extra mile for the guest
Hotel
Tent bungalows and cottages in palm-covered grounds
Service
From the numerous gardeners, yoga teachers, therapists and cooks, the care was individual and everyone was always eager to fulfill every wish
Treatments
The therapists were very attentive. Traditional-modern rooms, they pray briefly before each treatment.
Board type
Fresh vegetarian food from our own organic garden, supplemented by vegetables and fruit bought daily at the market
Wellness area
Ayurveda is taken very seriously. What we also had to understand first: it is not wellness, but an Indian, medically supervised and demanding healing therapy for the body. However, you can also book an uncomplicated wellness program.
