Ayurveda that you can taste - healing power & indulgence at Mandira.

Food is medicine - if we do it mindfully

The healing power of food - reinterpreted

The Mandira gourmet cuisine unfolds the wisdom of over 5,000 years of nutritional teachings - harmoniously combined with the sophistication of contemporary culinary art. Ayurveda, the ancient medicine of India, understands nutrition not only as a means to satiety, but also as the key to health, vitality and mental clarity.

Philosophy with taste

Our kitchen team under the direction of Bad Waltersdorf's top chef Markus Lengauer combines Ayurvedic knowledge with culinary creativity.
With a keen sense for the treasures of nature and the region, he creates dishes that bring body and soul into harmony - individually tailored, lovingly prepared and full of life.

Every meal is an invitation to find balance.

Mandira "joie de vivre full board"

The Mandira joie de vivre full board is included in the room price - a delicious all-round board that accompanies you from breakfast to dinner. The day begins with two lovingly arranged breakfast buffets: one with Ayurvedic-inspired dishes for conscious connoisseurs, the other with regional and international classics.

A freshly prepared lunch awaits you at midday - at the Mandira, this is naturally part of full board and therefore included. In the afternoon, fine snacks and homemade delicacies invite you to linger before the day ends with a sophisticated 4-course dinner.

Whether Ayurvedic, vegetarian or classic - the cuisine at the Mandira stands for healthy enjoyment, variety and quality. You don't have to do without anything here - except perhaps stress.

Mandira Ahara - Ayurvedic nutrition for your cure

At Mandira Ayurveda Resort, nutrition follows a clear principle: healing begins with what we eat.
Our four Āhāra stages accompany you during your cure - tailored to your Ayurveda type, your cure phase and your digestive fire (Agni). They support the body in cleansing, regenerating and finding new balance.

Rasayana cure

Rasayanas are vitalizing mixtures of herbs and minerals that balance the doshas, regenerate the body and slow down the ageing process thanks to their antioxidant effect. The Rasayana cure is a restorative cure with a focus on nänourishing, strengtheningfood.

For the love of the region

Regional flavors, global roots

In addition to authentic Ayurvedic cuisine, our gourmet restaurant celebrates the flavors of Eastern Styria: Game from the forests, fish from clear springs, vegetables from the fields of familiar farms. The result is a symbiosis of Indian healing power and Styrian culinary culture that is second to none.

Places that nourish - inside and out
