Inspired by the ancient Buddhist kingdom of Tibet, we strive to keep alive knowledge handed down for centuries.

“The food was fantastic, the pool was very relaxing, and the setting was spectacular! I suggest hiking the Metta Loop Trail when you are there. On the Menla property you will see lots of wildlife, such as deer, possums, and small bears that are harmless and used to our presence.”

Mills C.

“I have been all over the world and this spa is by far my most favorite. The service, the facilities and the kindness is beyond my past experience. I recommend going to Menla and making the Spa your first stop every day.”

Janice L. Rous

“It’s nature healing, every staff member super kind and making you feel right at home, the food was heavenly good! I’m deeply impressed and recommend anyone to pay a visit when in search of a peace of mind, to recharge and for those who wants to deeply (re)connect with their inner nature. The good spirits of the Catskill mountains are definitely highly active and working their magic on everyone who comes and goes. Went home deeply inspired, recharged and full of love.”
