Menla Retreat & Dewa Spa

Jan 2024

The menla spa surpassed my expectations and was nicer than the spas I’ve been to in the manhattan area. It’s a tranquil place with super friendly staff, yummy tea and super interesting Tibetan flare. My massage therapist Dusty was amazing and super knowledgable / experienced and I think even gave me a couple extra minutes which was a special treat. I went for a prenatal massage and she made me feel super comfortable and the music was lovely. I want to plan a trip back and try some of the other interesting treatments they have to offer!

Menla is the most healing place I know! Every time I have gone on retreat here, something magical happens and I go home a changed person. The food is amazing, the staff is so nice, accommodating, and helpful, and the programs are run by the most competent and wise people in the industry. The beds are super comfy, even in the dorm style rooms. I always make sure I do 2 retreats a year here. I have been to other retreat centers and none compare. Any retreat that features a fire puja with Tenzin Thurman is extra special. The property and land where Menla is located is sacred and has the most fascinating history. You will not be disappointed to pay a visit to Menla in Panther...read full review

Menla is my favorite American spiritual center. It is situated in mysterious and glorious nature, wonderfully designed and furnished with great subtle spiritual taste. The food is excellent and the spa is a marvelous marriage of a temple to health and real spacious comfort. I cannot recommend Menla enough.
