Far from bustling tourist hotspots, hippy communes and the trance-loving crowds of Goa, you’ll find Ashiyana - a magical place full of yogic wonder and serenity.
 
A must-stay for yoga rookies and experts alike, this English owned and managed resort is unique in its offering.  Health is at the heart of the resort, which has been lovingly curated to sooth, tune and detoxify. No alcohol or smoking is permitted, there is no room service, mini bar or comforts that are typically fitting for a resort of this calibre. But that’s what makes it so perfect.

The resort is set amongst peaceful palms overlooking the Mandrem River. Within the resort there are a variety of reflection areas and a natural swimming pool for guests to enjoy and the beach is only a two-minute walk away.
 
Uniquely Mandrem
Ashiyana is one of the most serene resorts I’ve ever come across. It offers a distinctive kind of luxury that’s likely the envy of other resorts. Admittedly, this is one of my favourite places in the world, so I am pretty biased. But it really is special; the staff are exceptionally friendly, and the vegetarian and vegan food is so incredibly delicious you don’t even miss meat.

​Choose from a selection of peaceful accommodation options
Ashiyana’s accommodation is designed to cater to a variety of budgets from the simple to the sublime, including Shahi Suites, Raj Luxury, Raj Doubles, Palm Grove, Lodges, Riverview and Beach Huts. Prices vary but all rooms are en-suite and for those enjoying a Yoga Holiday, the tariff is priced per person per day and includes room, two meals and two yoga classes daily.

Unwind at the Ashiyana Spa and Treatment Centre
Ashiyana offers a comprehensive list of treatments including Ayurvedic head and foot massages, aromatherapy and nutritional. Classic Swedish massages and deep tissue are also available in addition to yoga massage, Shiatsu, Reiki and even Re-birthing.
 
One-to-one private yoga and meditation sessions are also on offer to revitalise and heal. Their Urban Antidote Rejuvenation Retreat is well worth exploring.

​Experience yogic bliss at its best
Ashiyana has some of the most accomplished yoga teachers in the business, mostly from across Europe and India. Each class suits all levels and they offer a plethora of yoga genres to ensure there is something for everyone.

Imagine practicing yoga in a wonderful oak-floored shala while the sun rises, the rainforest wakes with birds and a variety of wildlife welcome the beginning of a new day as a cool breeze drifts in. Once you’ve experienced this kind of enchanting, immersive yoga, it’s difficult to enjoy doing yoga in an enclosed indoor space with fluorescent lights.
 
Ashiyana offers yoga holidays that include flexible drop-in classes twice daily, plus yoga retreats and certified yoga teacher training courses. Because the annual Monsoon rains prevent Ashiyana opening all year round, its season runs from 1st October until 30th April. They are closed between May and September.

Tuck into delicious and healthy vegetarian and vegan cuisine
Meals are buffet style and guests can choose from a selection of different areas to dine in depending on their mood; from family areas, silent areas, tree huts or large communal tables for those who fancy meeting new people to share their stories from the day.

​I loved both the food and the people I met during my visit. It’s rare to go on holiday and want to share moments that could last a lifetime with complete strangers but at Ashiyana this level of friendly intimacy is commonplace and I’m still in contact with people I met there a few years ago.

 
New this season, Ashiyana has employed a restaurant manager to help expand their menu and oversee their diet plans and detoxes. Nutrition is central to everything they do, so you never have to feel guilty about indulging!

Mandrem Beach
The beachfront is the epitome of raw beauty, and the gorgeous sea is bath temperature by dawn.  Along the beach there are around 10 different beach cafes, restaurants and shacks offering a variety of food and drinks. There are also lots of persuasive women selling wraps, beads and other gifts. Don’t be annoyed by this, though, some of the best conversations in Goa happen here. From my experience, the vendors are well mannered, articulate and most have a great sense of humour.
 
Mandrem Village & Surrounding Area
Mandrem is a simple village. Its main street offers various shops, shacks, cafes, hotels and street vendors. The technicolour night markets are also a short taxi ride away. The capital of North Goa, Panjim, is slightly further afield, but well worth exploring. Its Portuguese influence adds a unique charm. Here visitors will find glorious temples and churches and family-owned homestays and guesthouses for those wishing to stay overnight.
The verdict
Ashiyana, which means ‘home’ in Hindi does exactly what it sets out to do – helping people to truly relax, something we are eternally grateful for.  So, treat yourself to a unique yoga experience in Goa and make it your home away from home.

Most suited for: Yoga enthusiasts and professionals that need a break from a fast-paced lifestyle
Best bits: Practising yoga in the morning as the rainforest wakes up
Worst bits: Short days mean that it gets dark early
Our experience overall
Location: ★★★★★
Ambiance ★★★★★
Food and drink: ★★★★
Staff attentiveness/friendliness: ★★★★★
