Beauty sleep, anyone? Engel Ayurpura, the only Ayurvedic retreat in Italy’s South Tirol, has partnered with sleep diagnostics expert Bianca Maus to launch the first in a series of sleep retreats planned in 2026
Fairytale-like surroundings, expert guidance and the lure of some serious shuteye – what could be dreamier? The medically guided seven-day sleep reset retreat is scheduled for this June, treating guests to a hefty dose of Dolomites-based relaxation.
On arrival at Engel Ayurpura, expect an initial medical consultation, including pulse diagnosis, is conducted by Dr. Mahajan Parth – the only Ayurvedic physician in Italy and one of only a handful in Europe. An individual consultation with Bianca Maus also takes place for her to provide sleep diagnostic guidance throughout.
Overnight, using the medically sanctioned WatchPAT ONE machine, non-invasive objective analysis of sleep data is collected. Along with the consultation findings and advice on possible causes of sleep disturbance, guests receive an exclusively tailored Rasayan rejuvenation programme and personalised Ayurvedic diet plan. To take away from the week, individual guidance on personal coping strategies ensure improved sleep quality over the longer term.
Integral to the holistic programme are therapeutic treatments including Abhyanga, Shirodhara, Udvartana or Pinda Sweda, as well as morning yoga, breathing exercises, relaxation and meditation practice. All bolster natural sleep patterns and enable individuals to step away from their fast-paced working lives to slow down, and be in the moment.
