Wellness holidays in Kerala bring together yoga, Ayurveda and time by the water along India's south-western coast, and the three programmes on this page give you a clear spread of lengths, settings and styles. Two run for 10 days and one for 21 days, with prices ranging from 478 EUR to 2347 EUR. If you want movement and coastline, the 10-Day Surf, Yoga, Ayurveda and Sound Healing Retreat sits at Adishakti Yogashala in Varkala, a cliff-top town on Kerala's southern coast with a long beach below, palm trees and red laterite rock, plus enough cafes and shops nearby to keep things lively. If rest is what you are after, the Ayurvedic Sleep and Stress Relief Retreat takes place at Shantitheeram, a heritage property on the widest stretch of Vembanad Lake, the longest lake in India, where houseboats drift by in the late afternoon and the setting is green and genuinely peaceful. For a deeper reset, the 21-Day Ayurvedic Weight Balance and Panchakarma Wellness Retreat, also at Shantitheeram Ayurveda, is built on classical Panchakarma detoxification and tailored to your own constitution. Between them, these retreats suit anyone from surfers and yoga practitioners wanting an active coastal break to travellers looking for sleep, stress relief or a structured Ayurvedic programme. Whether you have ten days or three weeks, there is something here to match the pace and purpose you want.
