Why Travel to Rehabilitation

Far away, yet at homeAs each individual residence is handpicked to surpass your needs and expectations, we can tailor your environment and experience, so it feels like home, yet far away from your usual personal and work context.We can also accommodate your friends and family if desired. The act of travelling is symbolic, the decision to travel in and of itself represents positive intention, the decision that allows a new path to unfold.Renowned philosopher Alain De Botton posits that
“If our lives are dominated by a search for happiness, then perhaps few activities reveal as much about the dynamics of this quest … than our travels. They express, however inarticulately, an understanding of what life might be about, outside the constraints of work and of the struggle for survival.”
Healing effects of nature & beautyThe essential role of the physical environment on well-being and the healing process has been evidenced in modern science in recent years, though understood by ancient cultures for millennia.Oliver Sacks CBE, esteemed neurologist, naturalist and historian of science asserted that the “effects of nature’s qualities on health are not only spiritual and emotional but physical and neurological,” he concluded. “I do not doubt that they reflect deep changes in the brain’s physiology, and perhaps even its structure.”
Istana’s environment of extraordinary natural beauty, gentle ambience, and deep-rooted culture provides you with the ultimate setting for profound healing and renewal.
