15-Day Ayurvedic Weight Loss & Wellness Retreat in Kerala, India

This 15-day retreat is built around the principles of Ayurveda, a 5,000-year-old system of medicine that sees weight gain as a symptom of deeper imbalances. The program is designed to address the physical, mental, and emotional factors that contribute to excess weight, rather than simply restricting calories. Each guest receives a comprehensive Ayurveda consultation and body constitution (Prakrithi) analysis with Dr. Nikila Sudheer, the senior physician, and a personalized treatment plan is created based on their individual dosha (vata, pitta, or kapha) and health concerns.

The daily routine includes two personalized Ayurveda treatment sessions, which may include Abhyangam (warm oil massage), Udwarthanam (herbal powder massage for weight loss), steam baths, and other detoxifying therapies. Herbal medicines and formulations are prescribed to boost metabolism, improve digestion, and clear toxins. Alongside the therapies, guests participate in morning yoga and pranayama sessions, evening yoga and meditation, and daily classes on yoga philosophy and Ayurveda, which provide a foundation of knowledge to take home.

Ennakkathara Arya Vaidyasala is not a luxury spa but a working Ayurveda hospital with a long family tradition. This gives the retreat an authentic, clinically grounded feel. The food is pure, sattvic vegetarian, freshly cooked with local produce, and tailored to support detox and balance. Guests consistently praise the caring staff, the simple and clean accommodation, and the sense of calm that comes from living close to the rhythms of the temple town. It's a retreat that promises sustained results through education and personalized care, not just a week of pampering.
