OUR STORY
LEELA VIDA
Where you can relax and enjoy life!
Can’t wait for the grand opening — this is going to be the wellness destination we’ve all been waiting for!"
At The Leela Vida, we believe that wellness is more than a lifestyle—it’s a return to wholeness. Our name, Leela, means “divine play” in Sanskrit, reflecting our core philosophy: that life is sacred, spontaneous, and meant to be lived with vitality and joy.
Founded by Rajesh and Eduardo, The Leela Vida is the culmination of their shared journey in holistic health, cultural heritage, and spiritual practice. Blending Rajesh’s Indian roots and Ayurvedic wisdom with Eduardo’s Latin rhythm and regenerative philosophy, we’ve created a space where ancient knowledge and modern science meet in harmony.
Nestled on the untouched shores of Long Beach, Barbados, The Leela Vida is a members-only wellness sanctuary built for conscious community. Here, movement is medicine, nourishment is intentional, and every detail—whether the scent in the spa or the view from the gym—has been curated to support alignment of mind, body, and spirit.
Our vision is simple yet bold: to elevate the experience of well-being, connection, and belonging. Whether you’re plunging into cold water under the full moon or sipping herbal tea after a deep tissue massage, every moment here invites you to come home to yourself.
