Inspired by the Wisdom Traditions of Tibet
Nestled within a 330-acre private nature reserve, Menla sits at the head of a breathtaking glacial valley in the heart of the Catskills. Surrounded by protected forest and mountain streams, guests are invited to slow down and reconnect through guided hikes, time in nature, and restorative outdoor experiences. Our Dewa Spa integrates traditional Tibetan healing arts with contemporary wellness offerings, alongside dedicated spaces for meditation, yoga, movement, and contemplative practice.
Retreat, Practice, and Renew
Menla offers two-day to week-long retreats exploring Buddhist philosophy, yoga, holistic health, contemplative practice, sound healing, sacred traditions, and pathways for personal and collective transformation. Gather with thoughtful teachers and fellow seekers, reconnect with the rhythms of nature, and find space to rest, reflect, and grow. Accommodations range from shared cabins to deluxe lodging, all nestled among woods, gardens, and mountain trails.
Guided by respected teachers, nourished by healthy seasonal cuisine, and supported by the quiet beauty of the Catskills, a stay at Menla invites both restoration and deeper connection. Click on these links to learn more:
