The lush green mountains and blue skies with blotches of brilliant white clouds or misty grey peaks with silhouetted tree lines, will always feature in the memories of Nuwara Eliya, and the designers of the Mindfulness Studio at the Grand took great pains to preserve and showcase this unique element by building a glass roof, which makes the pool a part of the landscape and also contributes to maintaining the optimum temperature of the water. Rays of early morning sunlight brings in the blue hinted morning hues, and as the day progresses, the mid-day crisp montane landscape makes way for the gentle, laid-back, amber shades of sunset, with meticulously positioned indoor lights to provide a truly breathtaking ambience. The Mindfulness Studio is a total wellness solution offered by Grand Hotel.
Our total wellness solution allows you to pay attention to living in the present moment, essentially being more aware and awake to each moment and being fully engaged in what is happening in one’s surroundings. It paves the way to experience the moments with openness, curiosity, and a willingness to be with that experience. As you enter the Studio, you are spellbound by the tranquility that is embedded and the inviting aroma of lemongrass and mixed spice fragrances sets your mood for the ultimate relaxation you yearn for. Our Wellness Butler will help you to a tailor-made wellness solution depending on the time you would love to spend to rejuvenate your mind, soul and body.

The international standards for a temperature controlled Indoor Swimming Pool has been determined for 28ºC – 30ºC due to the fact that the warmer the water in an indoor swimming pool, the more easily bacteria and microorganisms can multiply and flourish. It could result in skin allergies etc. Chlorine is also less effective at higher temperatures.
