Located in the tranquil town of Hurleyville, NY—just two hours from New York City—Sanivan offers an intimate retreat setting with only three guest rooms, ensuring personalized attention and a peaceful, nurturing environment. The retreat is located in the home of your hosts, Saniye and Ivan, who lead by example—living, teaching, and embodying a wellness lifestyle that’s sometimes imperfect, but always real.

What makes our retreat holistic?

A holistic retreat recognizes that true well-being comes from balance. It offers space, support, and practices to help guests return to their center—feeling more grounded, clear, and alive.

Sanivan’s mission is to nourish the body, mind, and soul, empowering guests to continue their healing journey even after they leave. Their approach integrates holistic therapies, organic nutrition, and personalized care to promote overall well-being.

At Sanivan, wellness is not about luxury, perfection, or Instagram-worthy smoothies. It’s about making a heartfelt commitment to nourishing yourself—mind, body, and spirit—with simplicity, consistency, and love.
