A mindful retreat nestled in the heart of Rishikesh.

Book us for your Wellness Retreat

Our Bhakti Yoga retreat at Terrakotta, Rishikesh was a wonderful experience, and we highly recommend it!

The hotel itself is gorgeous, even on the luxurious side of things. All the rooms are well-appointed and full of light. Plus, it’s in a sweet spot in the Tapovan area of town.

The top floor is a GORGEOUS yoga shala, with amazing mountain and river (Ganga!) views. All the props and mats you’ll ever need. We’ve seen quite a few yoga shala in Rishikesh and this is one is the best!

The staff is friendly, prompt, helpful and everything you could ask for in a support team. We never wanted for anything.

Last, but not least, the food is so good, super delicious. The only problem was we ate too much! The kitchen worked with our dietary restrictions and were always flexible with our changes and requests. The kitchen was very clean and every one of our 17 tender American bellies was full and happy.

We are already looking forward to our next retreat at Terrakotta next year!

We invite you to consider us for hosting a retreat centered around Mind, Body, and Soul.

Our rooftop yoga space is designed to create an ambience conducive for inner peace, wellness, and self-discovery, and has a panoramic view of the holy river Ganga jee.

Our location puts you a few-minutes walk from the Ganga jee and the many eclectic cafes and ashrams to be discovered in the lanes of Rishikesh.

Discover

The name Terrakotta (from terra cotta, Italian for “baked earth”) came to us in a moment of inspiration, to stand for a deep connection to the earth and a grounded, humble approach to hospitality.

Our Story

We never thought we would build a hotel.

The idea was to have a home away from the hustle-bustle of the city, somewhere close to nature but still easily accessible. Tapovan was the perfect place - we fell in love the first time we dipped our feet in the Ganga on the banks adjacent to the magnificent Laxman Jhula.

§

The design was to be classically European, reminiscent of the red brick houses that dot the English and French country side. Over time we felt like sharing our experience with others who, like us, were seeking rejuvenation and inspiration - a respite from everyday life.

§

Our travels around the world have given us an understanding of what we feel hotels should be. Terrakotta is our attempt to share this with you.

We hope you like it.
