Just say ommm… And relax
by Paul Croughton, The Sunday Times, 4th July 2010
It’s no good detoxing the body if the brain’s going bonkers.
We select seven of the best holidays for the mind, from Kent to Japan and Bolivia including….
Food therapy – Sri Lanka It has been said, by persons more uncharitable than yourself, that the best way to a man’s heart is through his stomach. Well, Samantha Gowing, an award-winning restaurateur in her native Australia, believes that you can plough on past the heart and reach the soul. Sam claims to be a “therapeutic chef”, and her retreat at the boutique hotel Kahanda Kanda, on a working tea estate only 30 minutes from Galle, uses food as medicine, fixing digestive disorders and food sensitivities through Zen macrobiotics and traditional Chinese medicines, as well as promoting wellness and healing with motivational mindset techniques and meditation. She then throws in yoga and Pilates classes, so the rest of your body doesn’t get jealous. In fact, it will revel in the lush surroundings of Kahanda Kanda, with its long infinity pool, lily ponds, abundant, attentive staff and serene sense of wellbeing.

“To replenish, there’s Australian therapeutic chef Samantha Gowing’s incredibly good (and good for you) spa cuisine. Don’t miss: It’s a toss up between the sensation of standing upright on a longboard for the first time and Gowing’s food, which is largely vegetarian, organic and gluten-free. You’ll never eat the same thing twice during your stay, nor will you go hungry: food is plentiful and designed to fuel your surfing progress.”
For Surf Haven Bali we tailored our exclusive Surf Spa Food to provide delicious quality fuel, not deprivation. We carefully devised the therapeutic menu based around the philosophy of whole foods to offer an abundance of locally grown organic produce.
