Avoid! Avoid! Avoid! My request to Ayurveda Yoga Villa vas for Panchakarma treatment for 21 days in and I had pre- paid 420 euro. One month before starting, I've suddenly got to know that their Pachakarma does NOT follow the traditional Auyrvedic Pancharakarma concept as it's announced on their website. Their approach, which was NOT specified on their website, differs from my past experience and expectations. That's why 1 month in advance I canceled my reservation but the manager had refused to return my pre-payment. This confirms, that they are more interested in profit, and care neither about their own reputation, nor of their patients. One more reason to AVOID. Then Pay Pal (I have paid via PayPal) had started a case against Ayurveda Yoga Villa for getting my money back and I had won! I wrote in TripAdvisor about my experience but TripAdvisor had removed my review.
Very delightful and one of the best Ayurvedic retreat centers I’ve ever been in kerala …with natural touch and with the best doctors. They provide organic food which they made themselves… everything about Ayurveda yoga villa is fully satisfying and worth paying for …. I would really love to come and visit next year for another detox, purification. Thank you for your service Ayurveda yoga villa.
Very good place for detoxification/rejuvenation/treatment for various ailments. We had a great experience at Ayurveda yoga villa in 2019 and we visited again this year. This Beautiful treatment centre at wayanad is amidst lush green forests & virgin nature with Kabani river flowing nearby. Authentic Ayurveda Treatments, Various types of massages, Medicines, qualified doctors, wholesome fibrous diet as per the requirements of patients prescribed by doctors, good services, warm hospitality makes this a perfect place for rejuvenation, relaxation & detoxification
A perfect place to heal and relax. I stayed there for Panchakrma treatment four weeks. I arrived there feeling really bad, with skin problems, hypothyroidism, overweight and many other health issues. Since I arrived I felt listened and understood, all the doctors showed interest in listening attentively and helping me to recover my health not only during the treatment but they also taught me how to take care of my health when coming home, which for me was even as important as the treatment itself. The therapists were also kind and human, very professional and experienced, made me feel confident even during the hardest treatment times. The people from reception, kitchen and cleaning ladies were friendly and ready to help in any circumstances. I tell you, don’t expect to find at AYV a luxury spa with fake ayurveda treatments, the premises are not fantastic but if you are looking for competent staff and authentic Ayurveda medical care you will be in the best hands. I am already wishing to come back. Now, 3 months later I can tell you, my health has improved 100 % I’m very grateful to all the staff. After 12 years suffering under my poor health conditions I feel myself again.
Had a beautiful experience Ayurveda yoga villa completely satisfying with the unique approach to patients and has helped with my recovery, mental support. They have good team of people always ready to help
I was staying at Ayuverda Yoga Villa for 3 weeks for a partial Panchakarma. This is my second visit to this location. I am very happy about my stay and the results. Friendly, professional and wel trained personnel create a pleasant experience. Great location in the middle of the jungle at the river side. Thank you very much!
I initially booked a 10 day stay at this magical place on a whim and really more out of curiousity than anything else. I wanted to learn a little about Ayurveda and also consider having some help in improving my hip problems, a result of a very traumatic accident 8 years ago. I must admit, I went in a little blind to the entire process and with no expectations. But from the moment that I set foot here, I knew that it would be more than just a retreat. The hilltop setting of this place, amidst stunning nature offers an unparalleled serenity in which to take a break from normal life and really have some time for yourself. The schedule offered by this wonderful community of staff ensures that you are kept active and informed, without feeling any pressure. It’s the perfect size - roughly 10-18 guests at a time who you can spend as much or as little time with as you wish. I found the familial atmosphere from guests and staff alike very supportive in what proved to be a difficult and at times, painful recovery journey. I ended up extending my stay to a full 3 weeks as a result of the expert care from especially the doctor and massage therapists who managed in this time to regain me full mobility in my left hip joint and left leg. The combination of the twice daily yoga from a wonderful teacher Rakesh who kept a smile on my face and really helped me to increase my flexibility safely and confidently with these treatments has left me walking away totally in awe of what is possible in such a time. I had never really considered that such transformation would be possible through Ayurveda, but the holistic and spiritual approach is so much more than just lip service to the practice. It really is the way of life here… and beautifully shared with all guests to take what they wish from it. For the first time since my accident, I felt listened to.
Putting my trust and allowing my healing to be guided by the staff here was the best decision I could have made for my body.
A huge thank you, and a last mention to the wonderful kitchen staff who fed me a wide selection of well-prepared and tasty food every day. Constantly changing their menus and serving up the freshest of produce was a real highlight of every day.
Like most people who attend here, I will return for sure and would recommend this exceptional place to everyone I know, regardless of why they feel they need it.
Rejuvenating Feeling really rejuvenated, both physically and spiritually. I never felt left alone, though it was a solo trip; hospitality was comforting and friendly, so was the pranic food. Very soothing atmosphere.
I had a very bad experience with Ayurveda Yoga Villa. A friend was promised that Ayurveda Yoga Villa would send me products from India. On any email, no answer was given. The acquaintance was put off on the spot that Ayurveda Yoga Villa would contact me. As before, I have received no response. How can one believe this "Villa"? An absolute no-go!
The place was located in an elevated hilltop and so were the rooms, my parents having knee problems were given the topmost placed rooms and we had to request for change of room. We were not informed beforehand while booking that a minimum stay of two weeks was required for proper treatment, had we been informed earlier we would have planned accordingly as our trip was for a period of 7 days. On arrival and after consultation with the doctor he informed us that proper treatment can’t be given in 7 days targeting particular health problems. Above all, each individual will have a different health nature, proper history and assessment of body status and thorough information regarding side effects was NOT given. Treatment was not curated based on the person’s health status and individuals needs. My parents and I had suffered from severe cold following their routine full body oil massages and when questioned the doctor informed us on the third day after commencement of treatment that it was a side effect. Bad organising skills and improper body status assessment have pushed me towards strongly recommending against the place.
Great centre, and the doctors managed to treat my depression. Lot of support from staff throughout the treatment. All in all a positive environment. Only trouble was to convince the doctors the depth of my anxiety or depression. Felt like I was left ridiculed and judged for my condition that was intolerable some nights.
