Nestled in the scenic Peacock Valley of Pune, Swastik – A LuxuryWellbeing Sanctuary has officially opened its gates on 11th November 2024. With its inauguration, this newly unveiled 51-acre retreat promises a unique path to inner harmony and holistic rejuvenation. Conceptualized by Dr. Nitin Nyati through the Nyati Foundation, the luxurious retreat blends ancient, somewhat forgotten wellness traditions with modern therapeutic practices, inviting seekers to embark on a transformative journey that transcends the ordinary. All the heart-crafted experiences in Swastik are carefully curated while being backed by science.
Swastik – A Luxury Wellbeing Sanctuary is founded on a philosophy of five interwoven dimensions—Health, Wealth, Love, Bliss, and Spirituality—designed to bring balance and purpose to life. Rather than just a retreat, it is a space for deep, personal discovery, where each program and experience are meticulously crafted by experts to nurture wellbeing across these vital dimensions. What sets it apart is that it guarantees not only rejuvenation but also a fresh perspective on how to live life fully and joyfully.
“Our vision for Swastik – A Luxury Wellbeing Sanctuary is to create a space where individuals can rejuvenate and rediscover themselves in ways that extend beyond conventional wellness,” said Dr. Nitin Nyati, Chairman and Managing Director of Nyati Group, at the launch. “By integrating the timeless wisdom of Vedic traditions with modern wellness practices, Swastik offers a route to profound inner peace, balance, and harmony,” he added.
The ‘Health’ dimension at Swastik – A Luxury Wellbeing Sanctuary, guided by Vedic principles, restores harmony through therapies inspired by the natural elements—Earth, Water, Fire, Air, and Space. ‘Wealth’ at Swastik takes on a new meaning, focusing on personal growth and inner abundance rather than just material gain. The ‘Love’ dimension nurtures deep human connection, while ‘Bliss’ inspires joy and gratitude. Lastly, ‘Spirituality’ offers a path to self-alignment and mindfulness, helping guests explore their highest potential. Together, these five dimensions create a balanced, enriching experience that is as much about discovery as it is about healing.
“At Swastik, we embrace a holistic approach to wellbeing that encompasses the essential dimensions of life,” said Mrs. Anushree Nyati, Director of Swastik – A Luxury Wellbeing Sanctuary, on the launch. “By nurturing Health, Wealth, Love, Bliss, and Spirituality, we empower individuals to lead fulfilling and meaningful lives. Our sanctuary guides each guest on a transformative journey, rejuvenating them in a holistic and profound way,” she further added.
Swastik – A Luxury Wellbeing Sanctuary’s design embodies a blend with nature, with distinct spaces – called ‘Vihars’ – dedicated to various aspects of wellness. Its Ayu Vihar offers holistic healing through Ayurveda, naturopathy, and alternative therapies, featuring therapy rooms, relaxation zones, and unique amenities like the Surya Kund (hot tub) and the Lavanam (salt cave). Sukh Vihar, comprising 64 luxury suites and villas, provides a tranquil environment for reflection and inner peace. Overlooking the serene Khadakwasla Lake, Anand Vihar is devoted to rejuvenation, with offerings like Ninadika (a sound healing space), the Smitam (a poolside lounge), Rasa a restaurant that serves global wellbeing cuisine. Dhyan Vihar supports spiritual enrichment, featuring a vast 11,000-square-feet meditation hall, Dhyan Mandir, and the Nakshatra Van (zodiac garden) for cosmic alignment. Its Utsav Vihar brings creativity and nature together to enhance spiritual and artistic growth. Offering seekers the opportunity to explore yoga, music, dance, and more, it has an open amphitheater, Rang Mandal, and a reflexology path, Anant Mandal, where the interplay of water, soft pebbles and gravel gently prods the reflex points on the soles and their connected organs, to function optimally.
Highlighting the role of architecture in promoting healing and connecting the spirit with nature, Mr. Manish Banker, Chief Architect of Swastik – A Luxury Wellbeing Sanctuary, remarked, “Architecture goes beyond mere structures. It serves as a powerful tool for healing and transformation. By blending the ancient principles of Vastu Shastra with modern design, we have created spaces that harmonize with nature and the human spirit. Swastik is an environment designed not only to comfort the body but to nourish the soul.” He continued, “Our architecture reflects the five-dimensional values that guide us toward peace. Each space, integrated with the five core elements, offers a unique experience to help individuals thrive and radiate these essential values.”
Swastik – A Luxury Wellbeing Sanctuary offers personalized wellness journeys tailored to individual needs and life stages. Its Discover Programs—starting from three nights—provide an introductory yet immersive wellness experience. Heal Programs, lasting seven nights or more, offer deeper therapeutic journeys, such as “Holistic Detox” and “Panchakarma,” focusing on both body and soul. For those seeking to cultivate long-term vitality, Empower Programs like “Graceful Ageing” and “Essence of Womanhood” are designed to support life’s transitions. Yearly Signature Programs—such as “Acing Adolescence” and “Roots & Relations”—strengthen family bonds and personal growth, offering seekers lasting support throughout the year.
With its unique approach, Swastik – A Luxury Wellbeing Sanctuary is poised to become a leading destination for those seeking harmony, health, and a profound sense of purpose in life. From thoughtfully curated meals to therapies and personalized interactions, every element is selected to enhance seekers’ overall wellbeing. As Swastik opens its doors, it extends an invitation for individuals to embark on a journey that reveals the highest possibilities of life, promoting a newfound sense of joy, purpose, and tranquility.
