Menla - Resort & Destination Spa

Menla is a hidden oasis set in a secluded valley beside an enchanting stream in the heart of the Catskill mountains. Featuring spiritual and wellness retreats as well as exclusive getaways, our world-class Dewa Spa offers one-of-a-kind experiences. A truly unique venue and a project of Tibet House US – the Dalai Lama’s cultural center in North America – Menla is a modern resort and destination spa surrounded by thousands of acres of unspoiled wilderness. Inspired by the ancient Buddhist kingdom of Tibet, we strive to keep alive knowledge handed down for centuries.

Immerse yourself in the magic of our pristine mountain forests. Explore hiking trails, encounter wildlife, and discover a rich tapestry of wellness experiences and activities. This includes workshops with renowned teachers, yoga, meditation, Tibetan healing therapies, massages, bodywork, and so much more.
