Sitara Himalaya
Perched at an altitude of 8,200 feet, Sitara Himalaya is a private sanctuary offering a rare blend of intimate luxury and spiritual wellness. Located just 13 km from the vibrant town of Manali, this ten-bedroom retreat is nestled amidst the grandeur of the Himalayan mountains, capturing the serene beauty and spirituality of the region. The property is designed to harmonize with its surroundings, reflecting the local architectural style while embracing a wabi-sabi aesthetic—finding beauty in imperfection.
Founded by Anita Lal, the creative force behind the iconic Good Earth brand, Sitara Himalaya is more than just a wellness retreat; it’s an extension of her personal ethos, where the material world meets the spiritual. Every detail, from the hand-painted murals to the Tibetan rugs and sacred ornaments, has been curated to encourage reflection, relaxation, and a deep connection with nature.
At the heart of Sitara is the concept of Saukhya—a state of joyful wellbeing. The retreat offers a range of holistic wellness programs that draw from ancient Vedic traditions to rejuvenate the body, mind, and spirit. The Svasthi Sanctuary, located at the highest point of the property, provides a tranquil space for meditation, yoga, and detoxification therapies, all aimed at rebalancing the five elements (Panch Mahabhutas) within.
