About Ushmaya

India's First Hydrotherapy-Led
Boutique Wellness Retreat

Born from the healing rhythm of water and the stillness of the Himalayas, Ushmaya is where medical insight meets ancient wisdom. We unite Kneipp hydrotherapy, Ayurveda, mindful movement, nourishment, and nature into a restorative journey designed for sustainable wellbeing.

Unlike traditional wellness retreats that focus only on relaxation, our approach is clinically guided and physiologically designed. Every guest undergoes a personalised assessment to receive a programme tailored to their body, lifestyle, and goals.
