Parkschlossen

The 3,000 year old Indian philosophy of Ayurveda prevails at the serene Parkschlösschen. Set in parkland, this is Europe’s first fully Ayurvedic luxury resort.

Ayurveda Parkschlösschen is an Ayurvedic health retreat, renowned as one of the best in the world indeed if any of the spa could be said to have a genuine guru figure, then that guru is Vaidya Rajsekhar, the Ayurvedic doctor here. The Vaidya’s diagnostic ability, in particular, is extraordinary, and he has helped many people whose own doctors have been unable to pinpoint the cause or nature of an ailment. Vaidya is ably assisted by Mr. Aruna Bandara, a qualified Vaidya or traditional Ayurveda physician from Sri Lanka who is equally popular and respected.

Although this spotless centre is more sanatorium than spa, guests are treated to three delicious Ayurvedic vegetarian meals a day as well as daily massages administered by - yes, the bliss! - two therapists working in synchronicity. The key treatment is a nine-day Panchakarma detox. This cleanses the digestive system, resulting in considerable weight loss, clearer skin, a sharper mind, and significantly improved health. A guest receives three delicious Ayurvedic meals a day if they are not doing Panchakarma, the first three days of which might be very light food or even soups. Also guests on weight loss programmes have meals geared to that goal. All guests have personalised diet plans, depending on the individual and the indication.
