Mala Dhara Eco Resort was an absolutely wonderful place for my 5 day yoga, meditation, and wellness retreat. I was so delighted with my experience– beautiful and unique villas; amazing food full of flavors, colors and texture; a heavenly herbal steam & scrub night; going for an outdoor soak at the nearby Sippa Hot Springs; practicing yoga and meditation overlooking the rice fields; and swimming in the saltwater pool. Above all, it was the warmth and energy of the staff that stood out to me.
