Our Story
Nalanda Retreat
Nalanda Retreat draws its essence from the ancient Nalanda University, once a luminous beacon of learning and spiritual evolution in India.
Founded with a vision to create a space where people could pause, breathe, and reconnect, we honour this lineage by offering transformative yoga experiences that blend traditional wisdom with modern wellness practices. Our beachfront sanctuary on Mandrem Beach becomes a contemporary expression of this eternal human quest for understanding, healing, and wholeness.
Why We Built Nalanda
Our Purpose
Our purpose transcends hospitality. We are custodians of an ancient trust, guardians of practices that have the power to heal not just individuals but the collective consciousness of our time. In a world fragmented by digital noise and relentless pace, we offer the profound gift of presence, community, and connection to the eternal rhythms that govern authentic well-being.
“To empower individuals on their journey towards holistic well-being and inner peace by providing authentic, transformative experiences rooted in ancient wisdom and a nurturing, inspiring environment.”
Our Founder
Chandra
Chandra, a pioneer in the Indian wellness retreat space, founded Nalanda. Over the last 17 years, he has:
- Built, run, and scaled multiple retreat spaces in India.
- Founded and managed the iconic Devarya Wellness in Goa.
- Hosted, curated, and supported over 1,000 retreats.
- Welcomed more than 20,000 international and Indian guests.
Chandra's deep understanding of both the spiritual needs of seekers and the logistical nuances of hospitality makes Nalanda uniquely positioned as a sanctuary designed by someone who has lived it inside out. Our brand is not just built on beautiful architecture or beachfront luxury but on decades of human experience, empathy, trust, and soul work.
