Hi, I’m Saniye.

Over 20 years ago, my husband Ivan and I created Sanivan as an affordable retreat near NYC for anyone in need of a restorative break. We invite guests to experience our B&B-style retreat with organic meals, serene accommodations, rejuvenating spa treatments, in the charming town of Hurleyville, NY, currently experiencing it’s own “Catskills renaissance.” Our vision is simple: a quiet space where you can rest, eat well, find calm, and discover how to bring wellness home.
