Dharana at Shillim Introduces Long-Stay Clinically Driven Wellbeing Programmes in January 2026

Precision Wellbeing Retreat Expands Evidence-Based Health Offerings

Dharana at Shillim announced the launch of a new suite of clinically driven long-stay wellbeing programmes, expanding its focus on structured, evidence-based health interventions designed to address complex modern health challenges.

Located in the Sahyadri mountain range in Maharashtra, Dharana at Shillim is set within 2,500 acres of protected natural landscape. The retreat’s location offers physical seclusion while remaining accessible from Mumbai and Pune, positioning it as a long-stay destination rather than a short-format wellness escape.

The newly introduced programmes are designed as targeted pathways that address concerns such as metabolic health, cognitive fatigue, gut health, chronic stress, and preventive cardiology. Each programme integrates advanced diagnostics with traditional Ayurvedic sciences, enabling personalised interventions to begin before arrival and continue well beyond the guest’s stay.

Developed by Dharana’s multidisciplinary clinical team, the programmes respond to the physiological and emotional pressures of modern life through carefully sequenced, long-stay protocols. Rather than offering temporary relief, the approach is structured to support measurable, sustained health improvement through monitoring, consistency, and therapeutic continuity.

Dr Shaji, Chief Wellness Officer at Dharana at Shillim, states, “True wellbeing is not achieved through shortcuts. The body requires time to recalibrate, repair, and restore balance. These programmes reflect our clinical philosophy, combining data-led diagnostics with time-tested healing systems to deliver outcomes that last well beyond a guest’s time with us.”

As the global wellness industry increasingly moves towards short-duration interventions, Dharana at Shillim continues to maintain that meaningful outcomes require time, structure and sustained clinical engagement. The expanded portfolio reinforces this position by combining medical rigour with holistic practices within a long-stay retreat model.

The retreat environment supports preventive medicine, physical restoration, emotional balance, healing nutrition and spiritual alignment, with programmes designed to adapt to individual health baselines rather than predefined timelines.

The new programmes are now open for booking and are intended for guests seeking a structured, long-term approach to wellbeing, away from the demands of daily life.

Recognised among the Top 20 Destination Spas in the World, Dharana at Shillim continues to position itself within the global wellbeing landscape through clinically grounded, evidence-led care.
