His therapies foster deep release, emotional balance, and lasting peace—ideal for anyone seeking a moment of quiet introspection and rejuvenation.Healing Inspired By Elemental BalanceThroughout the week, guests will experience a curated selection of Ananda’s most revered treatments, including the Manipura and Kundalini Back Massage—therapies that are designed to unlock blocked energy and activate the body’s inner fire. The Tibetan Ku Nye Massage offers a deeply harmonising experience using traditional techniques, while the Ananda Moksha ritual helps release stagnant energy, inspired by liberation and the unimpeded flow of prana ("life force").As part of the retreat, every guest receives a complimentary follow-up consultation with an Ayurvedic physician from Ananda, ensuring that the experience continues to support wellbeing long after departure. For those interested in the connection between food and healing, Ananda’s Ayurvedic cuisine will also be available on the island, served anytime and anywhere—a reminder that wellness can be woven into everyday life.Wellness With No BoundariesAt The Nautilus, wellness is never confined to the walls of a spa.
