Tyrol
meets India
Our design concept is based entirely on the
motto ‘Tyrol meets India’. Local timber, some
of which is recycled and sourced from ancient
hay barns, and other high quality materials
create a harmonious synergy with our vibrant
Indian colour schemes. Exquisite handcrafted
sculptures of Buddha and elements of creative
décor define the ambience. The influence
of the Indian subcontinent is also apparent
in the new suites as well as the refurbished
accommodation. The entire resort was
designed on the basis of Vastu Shastra to
enable positive energy to flow freely.
‘I feel good®’ is our maxim – it symbolises
everything we do.
I feel good® –

Sign by Jwala Gamper
Every one of our guests at the Sonnhof is enveloped in the energy
and devotion that pervades our retreat. We are convinced that to
do good, we need to feel good about ourselves. We see ourselves as
helping hands opening doors to usher in change for the better.
‘I feel good®’ is our fundamental message. Its positive force affects
our thoughts and emotions, opens the way to pure being and stands
for the start of the transformation we seek, be this consciously or
unconsciously.

overview
AyurvedaCentre
In Ayurvedic philosophy, the body is the temple that houses our spirit. The spaces we have created in
the AyurvedaCentre have been designed to live up to this ideal. ‘Tyrol meets India’: this idea is also at
the heart of the design concept for the AyurvedaCentre. This is where all the senses are soothed in a
relaxed, positive atmosphere and gently stimulated by exhilarating fragrances, soothing sounds and
an encounter with natural elements. The names of Indian gods were chosen for the treatment rooms –
for instance, that of Lakshmi, the goddess of beauty.
Shiva & Shakti set the tone Afterwards, savour the calm ambience of the
