MENLA RETREATS

“Menla is an oasis of tranquility amidst vast natural forest preserves… The area holds a very special aura and energy which you can’t help but be affected by…”

CJ Dellatore, Relevant Design

“You know that thing when you think you soul might be finally crushed for good and the nameless, wordless, friendless dread of the city has sucked you dry? Well, this place has the cure. You can help with the grounds and garden, you can yoga and meditate, you can get the best massage in 48 states, you can eat the most delicious vegetarian cuisine, and my favorite, walk the trails and paths through bubbling brooks and over rushing waterfalls and regain your spirit and feel the beat of your heart in time to nature.”

Robbie S.

“We left the Spa feeling healthy, relaxed, and nurtured, which is exactly what one should derive after being at a well-appointed Spa… It is not the amenities and services alone that create a memorable Spa experience, it is the Spa staff, and the Dewa Spa is blessed with a caring, dedicated, and knowledgeable team.”
