The Istana is a meditation retreat - built by meditators, for meditators. This unique biohacking facility was designed as a place where backpackers and billionaires alike could come together to enjoy both the natural beauty of the site, and sink into the practice of meditation.

Combining the ancient and modern, The Istana allows technology and tradition to exist side-by-side and offers modern ‘bio-hacking’ experiences, such as WBC, sensory deprivation tanks, infra-red saunas and hyperbaric chambers, alongside more traditional experiences such as meditation, yoga, and breathwork.

All features on the site have been designed to enhance the beauty of the natural backdrop, whilst the facilities have been supplied by premium companies, such as Zimmer MedizinSysteme’s icelab -110 °C, creators of the best Whole Body Cryostimulation chambers in the world.
