Over a series of week-long wellness retreats starting in November 2023, Datu Wellness brings the best of Eastern wellness to Europe.
A one-of-a-kind retreat, Datu will welcome Indian wellness practitioners to Tuscany, many for the first time, allowing those looking for Eastern wellness, but based in the West, to experience this closer to home.
What is Datu?
Datu (meaning ‘to share’ in Sanskrit) is the embodiment of their mutual desire to share knowledge, skills and experiences. Many people may not be able to travel to India but desire the same level of authenticity and expertise to enhance their physical, emotional and spiritual wellbeing.
Datu's one-of-a-kind retreats provide direct access to their timeless, authentic and precious expertise which is unavailable elsewhere in Europe.
For a limited period each year and for the first time in Europe, Datu convenes leading practitioners of Ayurveda, Yoga and Sowa Rigpa from the most renowned, award-winning Eastern institutions, ashrams and clinics within the convenience, comfort and proximity of beautiful Tuscany with its thermal springs.
What can I expect at Datu?
Your stay begins with a complete Ayurvedic wellness consultation led by an experienced Vaidya (Ayurvedic physician). This consultation helps Datu tailor each day of your retreat, offering you a dynamic programme designed to reinvigorate your body, calm your mind and uplift your spirit.
As part of Datu's comprehensive offering, you can delight in and relax with complimentary massages, Yoga asana to improve posture and movement, Tibetan Sowa Rigpa, hot spring Watsu, acupuncture to increase Qi flow, as well as meditation and pranayama sessions for focus, calmness and presence.
Datu's Ayurvedic chefs prepare delicious fusion meals according to sattvic principles while using fresh and locally sourced Tuscan ingredients. Foodies can rest assured; there is no compromise on deliciousness, while helping you achieve good energy levels and shed some unnecessary weight - be it literal or metaphorical.

Datu retreats take place in a curated collection of European venues that share their values. Each setting serves as an enchanting and appropriate home for your transformation.
Surrounded by nature, the venues are nestled in beautiful and serene surroundings. Tranquillity, comfort without opulence, excellent service, fresh local food and ample private spaces provide a conducive environment for your voyage from the external world to allow you to focus on your inner nature.
