Where Ayurveda Meets the Alps

Engel Ayurpura is a place of stillness and reconnection — where ancient wisdom from India meets the clean, revitalising air of the Dolomites. Every element is curated to bring you back to balance, from the warmth of pine interiors to the purity of glacier-fed spring water. Whether you’re walking beneath larch trees or unwinding in the spa, the natural rhythms of the mountains guide your journey inward.

Deep Healing, Personalised For You

At its heart, Engel Ayurpura is a sanctuary rooted in genuine Ayurveda. Here, healing is never one-size-fits-all — each programme begins with an in-depth consultation and continues with daily treatments, mindful rituals and nourishing meals to support your unique constitution. Days unfold gently, with yoga at sunrise, quiet moments in the herbal garden and evenings of stillness under the stars.

A retreat to reconnect — with yourself, with nature and with a way of being that honours balance and beauty in every breath.

Why I chose Engel Ayurpura

Firstly, I love the contrast of the Italian flare and Austrian precision of this area and the quick easy journey from LGW means it is fabulous for a shorter retreat.  As you wind deeper into the South Tyrolean mountains, the world begins to quiet, villages fade, valleys open and the air takes on a different quality. By the time you reach Engel Ayurpura, high in the Dolomites, you have already begun to exhale.

What drew me in wasn’t just the views, though they are breath taking, but the stillness — a purity that runs through everything, from the scent of herbs in the treatment rooms to the forest-framed yoga shala. Ayurveda feels entirely at home here.

I chose Engel Ayurpura because it offers something rare: a deeply authentic Ayurvedic experience, held gently in the peace of the mountains — a place to reset, reconnect and simply be.
