FAQs
Swastik Wellbeing Sanctuary is a 51-acre luxury wellness destination set in Peacock Valley, Khadakwasla, near Pune in Maharashtra, India. It sits amid hills and a lakeside natural setting, well connected to both Pune and Mumbai, making it accessible for Indian and international guests seeking a wellness retreat in India.
Swastik is reachable by road from Pune and Mumbai. Pune Airport is the nearest major airport, with Mumbai International Airport and Navi Mumbai a longer drive away for international arrivals. Exact distances, drive times, and whether airport transfers are arranged should be confirmed with the reservations team.
Swastik is a programme-led wellness sanctuary, not a spa or leisure resort. It combines advanced diagnostics with integrated Ayurveda, naturopathy, yogic, oriental, and energy-healing practices to deliver measurable, lasting transformation. Where a spa offers one-off relaxation, Swastik designs a structured, results-focused healing journey guided by qualified practitioners (“masters”).
It is both—a luxury setting built around genuine, structured healing. For an authentic Ayurvedic experience with therapies and physician consultations, choose a healing or Ayurveda programme of adequate length rather than a short stay. Very short visits function more as a gentle wellness holiday, so match your programme and duration to the depth of experience you want.
A meaningful wellness reset usually needs at least 7 nights, while authentic Ayurvedic detox such as Panchakarma typically requires 14 to 21 nights to work fully. Stays of 2 to 3 nights are best understood as a relaxing wellness holiday—an introduction rather than a deep therapeutic programme. Choosing the right length is the single biggest factor in your results.
Yes. Programmes begin with a Pre-wellness consultation and assessment that guides your personalised plan, drawing on Ayurvedic diagnosis (such as pulse reading and constitution evaluation) alongside modern diagnostics. Swastik also partners with a genomics research organisation for genomics-informed health insights.
Swastik integrates multiple evidence-informed and traditional modalities: Ayurveda and Panchakarma, naturopathy, yoga and breathwork, oriental therapies, and energy healing. Signature experiences include therapies such as Shirodhara plus Sonorium – Sound Therapy and salt therapy (halotherapy) delivered through specialist partners—offering a uniquely multi-disciplinary wellness experience.
These reflect Swastik’s philosophy. Guests are called “seekers”—people actively pursuing genuine wellbeing—while the practitioners and therapists are “masters” who guide them. “Atma Naman” is a respectful greeting meaning a bow to the soul or inner self, setting the tone of reverence and care that defines the sanctuary.
Guests stay within Swastik’s distinct spaces, Aaram Guha, Maha Guha, Bhavya Guha and Kutumb Guha —including Anand Vihar, Sukh Vihar, and Ayu Vihar for treatments, therapies and for dining. Set across the 51-acre property amid nature, with meditation and gathering spaces such as Dhyan Vihar and Utsav Vihar. Rooms blend luxury comfort with calming, eco-conscious design.
Swastik follows a Sattvic food philosophy—fresh, clean, nourishing meals designed to support healing and digestion, often praised by guests as exceptional. Meals are typically aligned to your programme and constitution. Guests with allergies, intolerances, or specific dietary needs should share these in advance so the culinary team can accommodate them safely.
As a wellness sanctuary with a Sattvic dining philosophy, Swastik centres on clean vegetarian nourishment that supports healing, and the environment is designed to be calm and substance-free. Alcohol, smoking, and any non-vegetarian food is strictly prohibited.
Start by defining your goal—stress relief, detox, weight management, sleep, a specific health condition, or simply rest. Swastik’s programmes fall into three groups: Wellness Programs (preventive and lifestyle), Healing Programs (condition-focused), and Wellness Holiday (restful escape). The reservations and wellness team can recommend the best fit after a short consultation about your needs.
You are welcome either way. The Wellness Holiday is designed for guests who simply want to rest, reset, and enjoy the sanctuary without a specific health issue, while Healing and Wellness Programs target particular goals or conditions. Both are personalised, so you can come purely to unwind or to address something specific.
Yes. The sanctuary suits solo seekers wanting quiet, introspective time, couples (including the Babymoon Bliss programme for expecting parents), and families. The calm, safe, attentive environment works well for solo guests, while couples and families can share the experience together. Programmes are tailored to each guest’s needs regardless of how you travel.
Pack comfortable, loose, natural-fabric clothing for therapies and yoga, modest activewear, a light layer for cooler evenings, and any current medications with prescriptions. Bring recent medical reports if you are joining a healing programme. Footwear should be easy to slip off. The sanctuary typically provides treatment essentials, cloths etc. —confirm specifics when booking.
Wi-fi and connectivity are generally available, though the sanctuary gently encourages disconnection to deepen your healing, and offers a dedicated Digital Detox programme for those who want a structured break from screens. If staying connected for work or family matters to you, you can do so.
Swastik welcomes guests year-round. The cooler, drier months from roughly October to March are especially pleasant for outdoor activities and nature immersion, while the monsoon season (June to September) brings lush, green, restorative scenery. Each season offers a different experience, so timing can be matched to your preference.
Programmes are personalised, and a pre-arrival or on-arrival health assessment helps the team tailor or adjust therapies safely. Share your full medical history, conditions, and medications in advance. Swastik’s wellness programmes complement—and do not replace—your medical care, and you should never stop prescribed medication without your own doctor’s guidance.
Programme pricing typically covers accommodation, Sattvic meals, consultations, and the therapies within your chosen programme, though inclusions vary by programme and length. To book, you can enquire via the website contact page, WhatsApp, or phone, and the team will confirm a personalised plan.
Reservations can be made through the Swastik Wellbeing website contact page, by WhatsApp, or by phone, and the team will guide you through programme selection and payment. A cancellation policy applies and is published on the website.
