Each year, people with special dietary needs and adult-onset food allergies continue to rise.  It is estimated that over 32 million Americans live with at least one food allergy; that is about 10.8% of US adults and 7.6% of children.  Traveling with a food allergy may seem daunting and potentially life threatening.  At Hamanasi, we take pride in  accommodating your special dietary requirements to ensure that you have a safe and fun vacation experience.  Find out more about dining at Hamanasi’s Singanga Restaurant with an interview with our Food and Beverage manager.

Staying at Hamanasi is a holistic wellness experience!  Experience active adventures (there is something for every fitness level) or simply relax and unwind in our lush tropical environment.  Indulge in nutritious and delicious meals catered to your dietary preferences and tune-in during mindful yoga sessions. 

One of the best parts about a vacation is the opportunity to get away from your daily routines, unplug and relax.  Plan a day to sleep in, lounge by the pool or swim in the sea. Take that relaxation up a notch by treating yourself to a wellness spa session.  At Hamanasi we offer classic treatments such as Deep Tissue and Swedish massages as well as some unique offerings that are definitely worth trying. 

Slow Down & Appreciate Nature

The benefits of nature and green spaces are bountiful.  Natural spaces are essential to the planet’s overall health as these places have rich biodiversity, wildlife, produce oxygen, absorb carbon, filter ground water, provide food and medicine, protect against natural disasters, and the list goes on. In addition to aiding in the health of the planet, natural and green spaces are also beneficial to our mental and emotional health.

When on vacation or enjoying downtime at home, consider balancing the exciting adventures with conscious time dedicated to unwinding in nature. Slowing down and immersing oneself in nature is an incredible way to relax, calm the mind, destress and rejuvenate.  There are many relaxing activities one can do in order to disconnect from the hustle and bustle of daily life and reconnect with nature.
