Host a Retreat at Villa Vani

Mysore is a city with a long tradition of wellness, creativity, and learning — from its world-famous yoga community to its vibrant art, dance, and cultural scene. Tucked into a leafy neighbourhood of Gokulam, Villa Vani is a boutique retreat venue in Mysore designed for small, meaningful gatherings.

Whether you are hosting a yoga retreat, dance immersion, creative residency, or a holistic wellness programme, Villa Vani offers a calm, design-forward space where participants can feel both inspired and cared for.

Villa Vani has been created with intimate retreats and focused group work in mind.

• Accommodation: Up to 9 guests across four private ensuite bedrooms, each with distinctive character and handcrafted Mysore furniture.
   
• Room configuration: All rooms feature king- or queen-sized double beds (no twin configuration).
   
• Practice & workshop space: The garden lawns comfortably fit 6–8 yoga mats or provide space for movement, dance, or group circles under the trees.
   
• Dining & community: Shared meals for up to 10 guests can be hosted around our long teak dining table or outdoors in the green oasis under the rain tree.
   

For larger groups, you may also book our sister property just 3 minutes’ walk away, which hosts an additional 8 guests in 4 ensuite bedrooms. Combined, the two properties can accommodate up to 17 participants.

The Villa Vani layout has been designed to support both structured practice and restful downtime:

• The Lawn: Ideal for yoga, dance, meditation circles, or evening talks.
   
• The Conservatory: A calm, covered outdoor oasis and dining area perfect for workshops, journalling, or reflective group sessions.
   
• Private Bedrooms: Four ensuite rooms offering retreat-style comfort with handcrafted details.
   
• Dining & Living Spaces: A communal dining area, lounge, and library provide natural gathering points for meals, tea, and conversations.
   

This balance of openness and seclusion makes Villa Vani adaptable to many retreat styles — from movement to meditation.

Each retreat at Villa Vani is tailored to your vision as a teacher, facilitator, or guide. 

We provide:

• Flexible scheduling – sunrise yoga, afternoon dance workshops, evening hypnotherapy circles, or creative sessions under the stars. Whatever your vision, we can help bring it to life.
   
• Plant-forward catering – wholesome menus using seasonal local produce, customisable for vegetarian, vegan, or Ayurvedic needs.
   
• Enrichment options – add depth with Mysore’s cultural experiences: live music evenings, artisan studio visits, or heritage walks.
   
• Seamless logistics – from airport transfers to curated excursions, our team ensures a smooth flow so you can focus on your program.
   

Villa Vani is more than a place to stay. It is a canvas for retreats of all kinds — yoga, movement, mindfulness, creativity, or healing — set within the soulful rhythm of Mysore.

Bring your vision to life at Villa Vani. Whether yoga, dance, healing, or creative exploration — our space is here to hold it.
