Chandigarh, designed by the Swiss architect Le Corbusier, is India's first planned city and boasts sprawling parks, landscaped gardens, a lake, an excellent golf course and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The city is dotted with Corbusier's signature "Open Hand" sculptures; highly emotive symbols of peace and reconciliation he built in response to the partition of India in 1947.
Against a backdrop of the 8,000 acres of Siswan Forest Range and the foothills of the Himalayas, The Oberoi Sukhvilas Spa Resort presents a landscape of beautiful gardens with fountains, reflection pools and traditional architecture.

AyurvedaA traditional system of healing and medicine that has existed for over a thousand years, Ayurveda appreciates that all beings must live in harmony with their own bodies, with each other and with the changing cycles of nature. Wellbeing is balance; a dynamic equilibrium between body, mind, consciousness and the environment. Thus, Ayurvedic healing includes external therapies and internal herbs for the body, as well as procedures and practices for cleansing the mind and nourishing the soul.
