Guest comments

"Coming back to Vaidya's Village is like coming home. The smiling faces of the staff, the sound of the waves breaking against the shore and the laughter and delicious smells from the kitchen. What I have appreciated the most with my stays at the village is the opportunity to reflect over what really is important in life, to listen to my inner voice and to find peace of mind. Thanks to the personal yoga program, the food adapted to my needs and the daily treatments the body is also cleansed and strengthened. Every time I leave i feel like a new and better person, and the feeling stays with me for a long time afterwards."

about Vaidya's Ayurveda Village

"My time at Vaidya's Ayurveda Village was overwhelming, I learned as much that I will always carry with me. The best part was that everything was so thoughtful and I felt so safe in this. My stay with you has helped me find myself again. I'm incredibly grateful for that. I must also mention the food that was so amazing -every meal was a party!"

about Vaidya's Ayurveda Village

"My stay at Vaidya’s Ayurveda Village was a wonderful experience. It gave me so much in terms of self-awakening and health. The staff is absolutely amazing – very kind and truly genuin. I´ve never felt so seen and heard as a human beeing before. It´s wonderful to surround yourself with like-minded, in beautiful surroundings, an ocean with dolphins, silence, treatments, yoga and healing food. The retreat was a mental roller coaster for me (time with yourself can create that) - but the wonderful thing is that I also had time to process it! And I left India as a much more grounded and secure version of myself."

about Vaidya's Ayurveda Village

"It was wonderful being so close to the ocean and to fall asleep every night to the sound of the waves. Watching the sun rise while doing yoga on the roof every morning, and watching it set over the ocean while having dinner."

about Vaidya's Ayurveda Village

"I had a great time at Vaidya's Ayurveda Village. The staff was very kind and interested in my well-being. It felt more like being with friends then just being a client at a hotel. I appreciated that the retreat itself only occupies 14 guest, so there is an intimate atmosphere and you get to know the other guests easily. The Ayurveda food was incredibly delicious and diverse; I enjoyed to taste new Indian flavours. Moreover, the four-hand massages every day really helped me to calm down and to relax body and mind. The daily visits with the doctor gave me a good feeling, as a professional was monitoring the improvement of my blood sugar due to the healthy diet. The yoga classes each day helped me to feel really comfortable in my body and I learned about meditation. I can really recommend a stay at Vaidya´s Ayurveda Village."

I continue to improve my health through my specific yoga and medical food - I have made it Swedish."

Guest experience
7 reasons...

...that makes your stay at Vaidya’s Ayurveda Retreat different from other ayurveda centres in India

  • Location

    To provide the nature’s ambience to our guests we have created our retreat in a local village in Kerala, by the Healing River adjacent to the Vembanad Lake - the longest lake in India. 

  • Personal care

    Our professional team makes sure that each guest at Vaidya’s Ayurveda Retreat is getting personal care and follows the individual program designed by the physician. 

  • Tailor-made programs

    There are no ready-made treatment programs at Vaidya’s Ayurveda Retreat. Each guest’s treatments, oils and herbs are designed individually according to their present health condition after the first consultation with the chief physician.

  • Personalised diet

    There is no common diet for our guests – The food we serve at Vaidya’s Ayurveda Retreat is not only gluten free, sugar free and animal free but also designed according to the Ayurveda principles, based on each guest’s prakruti (birth dominating elements) or vikruti (imbalance).

  • Nature therapy for mind

    Our newly designed rooms, restaurant and yoga-center have direct view to the Healing River. All rooms have balcony /veranda facing the serene water and the green lush of the coconut plantations on the other side of the river, which helps our guests to naturally attain a meditative mind during their stay at the Healing River. 

  • Complimentary activities

    Free to join the educational or entertainment activities on going at the Retreat as: live cooking experiences / yoga / meditation / dance classes / creative workshops etc to enhance the participant’s physical and mental skills (schedule varies every week/month).

  • A holiday ambience

    Although Janesh Vaidya’s deep cleansing and rejuvenating treatment programs are highly therapeutical and supervised by an experienced ayurveda physician and expert therapists without compromising the authenticity of traditional ayurveda, because of the hospitality of our dedicated staff and the relaxing stay in our serene village by the Healing River, the guests feel a holiday ambience during their health retreat.
