About

Perched on a dramatic Shivalik mountain ledge, 170 metres above the sacred River Ganges, Vileen Rishikesh is an intimate luxury wellness retreat where the serenity of the Himalayas meets personalized holistic healing. Surrounded by pristine Sal forests and overlooking the river valley, the resort offers a peaceful sanctuary designed for guests seeking restoration of body, mind, and spirit.

At the heart of the retreat is Samagra, Vileen 's signature wellness philosophy that blends Ayurveda, yoga, meditation, mindful movement, and nourishing Himalayan cuisine into immersive multi-day wellness journeys. Every programme begins with a one-on-one consultation and Dosha analysis by the in-house Ayurvedic doctor, ensuring therapies, wellness meals, and daily activities are tailored to each guest's individual constitution and health goals. Guests can experience Panchakarma detoxification, sleep enhancement therapies, sound healing, nature immersion, aqua yoga, spiritual discussions, meditation, and guided Himalayan walks as part of a holistic lifestyle approach rather than a conventional resort stay.

At Avaana on the Cliff, dining is designed to make the principles of Ayurveda accessible through simple, nourishing and thoughtfully prepared meals. The menu is carefully curated, drawing on ingredients traditionally valued in Ayurveda, including fresh turmeric, ash gourd, beetroot and millets. Meals are freshly prepared using these ingredients, with selected dishes served in Kansa (bronze) tableware, traditionally associated with various wellness benefits. To help guests make informed dietary choices, each dish on the buffet is labelled with its suitability for the three doshas – Vata, Pitta and Kapha – using distinct icon

Inspired by Uttarakhand's rich cultural heritage, Vileen's architecture celebrates traditional mountain craftsmanship through sloping roofs, carved wooden railings, intricate stone detailing, and handcrafted guestroom doors influenced by the region's iconic Likhai woodwork. The resort features 14 exclusive luxury suites and duplexes, each themed around sacred Himalayan flora and designed with contemporary comforts, panoramic valley views, and locally inspired interiors that create a warm and tranquil retreat experience.

Located in the quiet village of Singtali, away from the crowds of central Rishikesh, Vileen combines breathtaking natural surroundings with thoughtfully curated wellness experiences.
