    Whiplash no more!
    I had 4 massages during my 2 week trip with the same woman doing the hour long treatment. I had a whiplash injury from earlier in the year which was still causing stiffness in my right shoulder and neck muscles. After 4 treatments it’s gone. I am really impressed with how pain free I feel. Flexibility has been restored. Thank you all at Sandalwood.

    Well travelled Kent couple
    Excellent service at reasonable prices, the Massage team are expert. The parlour was well laid out and clean. We loved the peaceful atmosphere and calming music but the ginger herbal tea was outstanding.

    Very relaxing
    I went here yesterday and had a wonderful 90 minutes of massaging with lovely oils. The young lady was excellent and checked that I was happy with the pressure etc. Terrific value at Β£30 and I will be going again before the end of the holiday. My only niggle, is that I kept hearing mobile phone noises which is not good when you are trying to relax.

    A great experience and massage
    We visited whilst on holiday. A friendly welcome and team. Have had many massages in different countries. The therapists here discuss yoyr preferences and areas to focus. A deep and really effective massage. Looking forward to another visit

    Don't miss the opportunity to book yourself into Sandalwood!
    If you are going to Cavelossim, do not miss the opportunity to have a massage at Sandlewood. My friend and I went too late in our visit and missed the opportunity to have several massages. So, so good. My friend is registered blind and the care the staff took of her was impressive but even more so, she was herself surprised at how emotional she was as her massage came to a close. We will be returning to Cavelossim before the end of this year and will be making several bookings during our stay. Absolutely wonderful.

    Relaxing massage
    Really lovely spa. I had the anti ageing massage which lasted for an hour and priced at Β£18 was really worth it and it was lovely, I didn’t want it to finish. Wish I had found this place earlier because I would have booked an additional massage.

    Excellent once again
    I returned to Sandalwood after a very positive experience last year. This year, during my stay in Cavelossim, I managed a massage each week I was there (5) and on my last visit was delighted to receive a generous discount. Jinesh and his staff are excellent. I would highly recommend a visit.

    Amazing massage
    Sandalwood is amazing! They ask if you have any specific issues before going into the massage so they can tailor it to your needs. They are very welcoming and make you feel relaxed from the moment you step through the door. Had a massage for Β£18 for an hour and it was one of the best massages I’ve had, we have booked another one for before we leave! Felt very loose and refreshed after leaving and would deffo recommend to anyone staying nearby.

    Great experience with Ayurvedic treatment
    I was handled by Jinesh on an August morning and the experience was wonderful! The arrangement was easy, they adapted to my timing and could arrange an appointment fast and conveniently. The premises were clean and tidy and the personal treatment was exquisite. I took the 90 minute treatment with heat and medicinal herbs and plants and I was really satisfied and relaxed after. Thank you Jinesh for lending a bit of your energy to me, I really appreciate it!

Until recently, I could not even imagine that I would visit India for the first time, live in a village and be treated by a local guru, Dr. Shasha.
I can’t believe that today is the last day of our treatment and stay in Kerala. I know that I will miss you, because life here is amazing, calm, measured, and the people in the village are friendly and smiling. They fed us 4 times a day with fresh, delicious Indian food and juicy fruits, and Dr. Shasha gave us therapeutic massage every day with his extraordinary
miracle oils and that's what we're here for. The oils are medicinal, Shasha makes them himself, the night before, one for the head, another for the body. In addition to oils, Shasha uses a lot of other things, bags of herbs and a mixture similar to porridge, after which our volumes immediately decreased noticeably. Each massage lasted about 2 hours and began with an oil massage, when Shasha rubbed every centimeter of my body, quite noticeably, identified problems and put everything in its place. The second hour passed differently, there was Shiradara, there was Pizhichil, during which I relaxed so much that I forgot about everything and always fell asleep. I rubbed my body with hot magic porridge, after which my volume immediately noticeably decreased, and my skin became smooth and elastic. It is important that Shasha prepares both the oils and porridge himself, in the evenings, on the eve of the massage, and this is his exclusive, this is the main value, in the oils and the hands of this healer. At different times of the day, people in need of help are brought to Shasha and he treats them. And planned guests, like us, come to Shasha from different countries.
The days here fly by so quickly that you want to enjoy every minute, your waist shrinks, your body changes like plasticine heated by the Kerala sun in the hands of a master. Shasha works her miracles during massage, and in the evenings
tells us stories from his life, shares exercises from his daily exercises, stands on his head and sings his favorite mantras. He also sings during a massage, or says something, as if asking his gods to help us with treatment. And after each massage there is a bathing ritual and this is also divinely pleasant. All this creates an incredible mood, complete immersion in an atmosphere of calm, harmony and relaxation. And the most important thing is that now I feel my whole body as much as possible, it is light and for the first time nothing hurts, neither my neck nor my lower back, it’s hard for me to believe this after 5 years of pain and it’s definitely worth it. Shasha says that there will be no more pain, I believe him)
My trip took place thanks to an incredible coincidence of circumstances and meeting an extraordinary girl, Natasha, the head of the Sandalwood Ayurvedic clinic!
Thank you, Natasha, everything was perfectly organized, thank you for the round-the-clock support and complete information on all our requests and most importantly for the excellent result.

On vacation I always try to try local massages, so when on the way to the beach they offered to sign up at Sandalwood, I didn’t refuse. They greet you (if you don’t come right next to each other) and see you off with delicious tea, first they ask if you have any back problems and what level of intensity you want the massage, since I like massages harder, the first times it was even hard to walk, my calves were so well stretched)) Every day I took a massage from the top of my head to the tips of my toes (except for those days when I was on excursions), it was better to make an appointment in advance since after the massage there is not always a convenient time the next day. The cost of such a massage is 1300 rupees (which, when compared with prices in Yekaterinburg and Siam, is not very expensive), and when making an appointment, they take an advance of 500 rupees, which is carried over to the next time. Overall, I really liked the massage, I recommend it to everyone who vacations in Cavelosim.

Located in Cavelossim, just across from the stunning beach. The Ayurveda Clinic's ambience and decor are very calming and peaceful, that and the fragrance of the incense and the Ayurvedic oils created a serene atmosphere. The staff were friendly and professional. The treatments available were clearly explained to me before I made my choice. I chose the two hour Marma Therapy massage, which included Shirodhara and massage with hot oils. My therapist was knowledgable, experienced and I felt totally relaxed. As a runner my body was quite stiff and my muscles were sore. The treatment relieved the tension in my body, loosened my muscles and not only left me feeling calm and relaxed but rejuvenated and full of energy. The full benefits I felt for days after. I have since taken my wife and a couple of my friends who thoroughly enjoyed the experience and the healing benefits.

As a runner I had been experiencing muscle soreness for a few months. Reluctant to go for a massage for some time, I had been stretching regularly and been taking hot baths, Still my condition did not improve. Eventually it was my Wife that pushed me to get some treatment, especially since the pain was getting worse and we were worried that untreated my condition will get worse and lead to injury.

I returned to Sandalwood Ayurveda Clinic in Cavelossim, which I have visited several times in the past and is our go to place whenever we want to go for a massage.

My Massage therapist was knowledgeable in his field and knew exactly how to manipulate the soft tissues and joints to alleviate the soreness and pain in the muscles. This when you realize the numerous benefits of being treated by a professional and the difference it makes. Using lighter pressure to begin with and then harder once the muscles had warmed up. He also advised me on follow up exercises I could do in the coming weeks to loosen the tension in my muscles.

After the massage not only did I feel relaxed and mentally stress free but my body felt so loose and for some reason I felt lighter. I was no longer in agony and I could move freely since I no longer felt the tension in my body nor the pain. I just felt so good. After so long. It was so worth it. I promised myself that I would try to go for a massage at least twice a month. So I really do recommend the massage I had at Sandalwood Ayurveda Clinic in Cavelossim.

This year we managed to spend 3 months in Goa, in Cavelossim, that is, we became real winterers in India! Our life proceeded in the usual wellness mode: walks, swimming, fruits and vegetables, fish and seafood, and, of course, massage at the Sandalwood Ayurveda clinic. I did 3 courses of massage treatments of varying intensity. My masseuse Sumi is a wonderful girl, she knows and loves her job, and is an excellent specialist. We had complete mutual understanding! All procedures were carried out strictly on time, in a comfortable, clean room, with a disposable set of linen. After massaging her body, Sumi washed her hands and moved on to massage her face. The clinic has a very pleasant atmosphere, the administrator is polite and friendly, and will always offer you a cup of aromatic tea after a massage. Thanks to all the staff at Sandalwood Clinic! The climate, ocean, massage, fruits did their job, we were very pleased with the trip!

We traveled a lot and enjoy having a good massage. We thought we found the best one in Bali but this one is the best we ever had. They follow the ayurveda practice with male to male and female to female masseurs. My back feels way better and I’m also more energized.
The team is amazing and super clean!
The packages are really good value for money and really cheap compared to the UK.

One of the best massages I’ve ever had in my life....and I do love massages! These guys know what they’re doing.
It’s hygienic, professional, relaxing AND affordable!!
My personal favourite is Sumi who has strong hands. I like strong massages but she will adjust the pressure according to each person’s needs.
I wish I could go everyday, but I go as often as I can! 😁
If you want a massage that doesn’t burn a hole in ur pocket and yet leaves u relaxed, look no further!

Also, Shamnad and Natalia as absolute darlings!! Highly recommend this place...!

My acquaintance with India was not the first, but the decision to come specifically to Panchekarma was quick. I had heard about Panchakarma for a very long time, but certain circumstances brought me and my family to India, to meet Natalia. I always thank God that he brought us all together in one place and gave us those people who saved my son and supported my health after severe stress and many years of problems with the spine. All this is in the past, but you definitely need to take care of yourself and support yourself. And now we can say with confidence that Panchakarma is the best method for working through all problems, both physical and mental. This is such a harmonious program where you only get positive relaxation. I would like to note the organization, reception of guests, massages, yoga classes, meditation, medication, food and most importantly, this place of residence, where we found ourselves just like in a fairy tale. The place is colorful, everything is so organic that at first glance it pleases the eye. I know how much behind this comfort there is labor, love for one’s work, the ability to work and unite people, and if you take into account all this not in your own country, but in India….
I am glad that all my expectations were met, even more than that, there was so much care for us, we were introduced to Indian culture, we were given a holiday, which also contributed to the rapprochement of our cultures, in order to become closer and more understandable to this diverse culture for us.
The nutrition was so well thought out that it turned out that proper nutrition can be varied, tasty, colorful and beautiful to look at.
I want to share my impressions of the treatment, how professional and organized it was, not a single request was left unattended. My body was saturated with various smells and oils, the massage therapist’s hands enveloped me in their warmth, who, using various techniques, released toxins from the body and dispersed the lymph; in one word this cannot be expressed in words - you have to try it. Come and get benefits for your body, mind, put your thoughts in order, your gaze will become bright and clear, your movements will be flexible and organic, your face and whole body will be tightened and you will see and feel much younger and more energetic. The main thing is not to spill all this beauty and harmony in the ocean of vanity, but when you arrive to maintain this rhythm and image, making small adjustments, but adhering to all the recommendations and the fullness that you will take with you. I wish you all good health for a long summer! Whoever comes to India and goes through a state of loving his body and caring for it can be sure that he is already consciously approaching everything that surrounds him πŸ™πŸ»
