Sanivan Holistic Retreat & Spa

Saniye and Ivan are both the most gracious humans. Every meal that Saniye made for us were delicious and made with love. Ivan has the best positive energy and always eager to teach you about nutrition for self healing.
As soon as we walked in we left are stress at the door. We immediately felt relaxed. And we cannot wait to come back again.

I recently had the most incredible experience at Sanivan for a massage, and I cannot rave about it enough! From the moment I walked in, I felt an overwhelming sense of peace and tranquility. The atmosphere is serene and calming, and the massage itself was nothing short of therapeutic bliss. Every touch felt intentional and soothing, melting away stress and tension I didn’t even realize I was holding onto.

What really sets Sanivan apart is how detoxing and rejuvenating the whole experience is—truly holistic in every sense. I left feeling lighter, more centered, and completely recharged. If you’re looking for a place that will nurture both your body and spirit, Sanivan is IT! I highly recommend them without any reservations. Five stars!

Saniye and Ivan were wonderful hosts. Saniye communicated via email, in both timely and clear manners. I cannot speak highly enough of the meals we enjoyed. We made our time our own and had flexibility in our activities including yoga and dance lessons. The town is lovely and the trail is a nature lovers dream. A true treasure. All the rest and relaxation we were hoping to enjoy.

I booked a stay to get away from NYC and look inward for a few days. It was an easy 2 hour bus ride, and Ivan picked me up from the bus station.

Immediately when you get to the house, you feel like you're coming home! During my stay, I practiced yoga at the studio nearby, walked the railroad trail, got dance lessons and a massage from Ivan, and loved every minute of it!

Ivan & Saniye also give great life advice. We had lots of fun conversations over nourishing, vegetarian meals. I'd highly recommend visiting, and I'd love to come back sometime soon! :)

I had an inspirational weekend retreat at Sanivan for my 3 day juice fast. The superb juices and revitalizing treatments (I would drive 2 hours just for the Raindrop and massage treatment) were just what I needed to detox, rejuvenate and restart my healthy eating habits. Aside from the exercise equipment available, there are beautiful trails just 5 minutes walk from Sanivan.
