Ayurvedic Journey to myself

5.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 6 Aug 2023
Thank you Aanandakosha for helping in finding me. It was my time to myself. I spent 14 days at Aanandakosha to get away from the hectic work and family schedule to revive myself. The excellent relaxation treatments, yoga, and fresh food from this heaven help me to what I am today. They have a good library with a collection of self-help to friction to cater your reading requirements. Every staff is well-selected and trained to be the best to support you and give you the space you are looking for. Rooms are neat and clean with all required amenities. All rooms have a balcony with a sea view. They provide bathrobes to use in the property to protect your clothes from oil. Best Ayurveda retreats to relax and rejuvenate. Will recommend to anyone seeking clean, true Ayurveda treatments.

I just completed my second year of Ayurveda wellness treatment at Aanandakosha. Great to experience the well-organized tailor-made treatment, with its consistency of standards. The small, boutique setup is perfect for me as the number of people is limited and you get all my time. For social interactions, another guest is like-minded and very good. I find some of them very close to me in my journey and can be my best friends in the future.    The food is very simple, ayurvedic, tasty, fresh, and with all the required nutrients. You feel light and energetic after the food. All the treatments and therapists are the best and most relaxing. I got the best results for my medical conditions. The ambiance of the place is superb with nature so serene. This is one of my best Ayurveda retreats with such wonderful people around me.I recommend this place to anyone who is seeking genuine Ayurveda.

If there is a place that I would call a combination of natural beauty and wellness, it would be this one.
The welcome is as charming as the goodbye. I had a lovely time at the wellness retreat. The owner Elizabeth and her staff took great care of me. The rooms are clean and beautiful with sea facing views. The food is the best as it is made in traditional style by a homemaker with love and devotion. Hence the food tastes so good. They have ingredients sourced from their own kitchen garden.
We also tried their sadya meals freshly prepared and delicious to taste. The therapies at the retreat are excellent. The therapy rooms are very hygienic and neat. They use medicinal and herbal oils for massages that are perfect for relaxation and rejuvenation. Overall this place deserves ten stars in hospitality, service,location, rooms therapies and food.

Room tip: Caffeine is not allowed here. You can also pack light as they have bathrobes provided for guests.

This is my third time at Aanandakosha which should say a lot about my feelings to this dear place! I love everything about it: it’s a cozy and beautiful retreat, very private and curated with love, you can feel it in details and just in human connections you make there. All the stuff is super friendly, Elizabeth who runs the place is a top professional in hospitality business and simply a wonderful human being. Each time I stayed there I feel loved and taken care of, and not as client but if I was visiting my family. Well, by now the are became my family.
Needless to say, I’ll be back!
The food there is a separate topic to praise. Love it!!! And miss it badly.

Being a stressed out 50 something with a few chronic health problems I really didn’t know what to expect. What I experienced was a beautiful, calm environment, delicious healthy food, caring staff, wonderful treatments, breathwork, yoga, a comprehensive library and peace for contemplation and meditation. I quickly developed confidence in the Ayurvedic doctor, therapists and chef who designed a bespoke program of therapies and diet to address my needs. I have noticed a significant improvement in my symptoms, I feel rested and restored. I am returning home with knowledge and confidence to maintain a healthier lifestyle to look after myself physically, mentally and spiritually. A fantastic experience that I strongly recommend. I will be back.

This is a very, very special place! Elizabeth and her team are angelic. If you are looking for an authentic Ayurvedic treatment centre to cleanse your body, mind and spirit then this is it. The peaceful beauty and energy of Kerala seeps through this retreat which is a true sanctuary from stress.

It’s strength lies in its simplicity. There’s no frills to distract you from what was a genuinely deeply healing experience in the fascinating ancient and sacred tradition of Ayurveda. With food as medicine, the meals are delicate, balanced, nourishing and tailored to you individually. You feel like a child being fed and cared for without fuss or any culinary pretensions. With the freshest ingredients, beautiful presentation and exquisitely gentle flavours your body is given a complete holiday from all the temptations and cravings that can distract us from principles of health and nutrition. As for massages and treatments, some touched on nirvana.

I will be back, year on year. Elizabeth is an instant and true friend and a guide on the path of creative self care and compassion that goes deep enough to nurture our lives and all those we hold dear within them.

A true blessing of an experience. Just go!

Room tip: There is room here to be totally self contained and solo as well as a strong sense of community with other fellow like-minded souls.
