More about Amara Ayurveda Retreat


Explore the essence of wellness cuisine at Amara, where key principles from Ayurveda seamlessly blend to cater to individual body types, transcending mere taste. The culinary philosophy revolves around the consumption of fresh, natural foods, meticulously low in fat and calories. Embracing whole grains, fresh fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, and eschewing added or artificial salts, colors, flavors, or preservatives, Amara's wellness cuisine stands as a testament to mindful and nourishing eating.

Immerse yourself in the culinary journey at Amara, where the show kitchen becomes a stage for chefs to guide guests on recreating these delectable dishes at home, inviting individuals to seamlessly integrate this wholesome way of life into their daily routine. Elevating the experience, the in-house Ayurvedic doctor collaborates to craft special care menus, addressing specific imbalances tailored to diverse body types.

In the realm of Ayurveda, healing emanates not only from external sources but from within. The food individuals consume, intricately fine-tuned to their unique body type or dosha, plays a pivotal role in determining physical and mental wellbeing. Each dosha—Vata (energy of movement), Pitta (energy of digestion and metabolism), and Kapha (energy of building and lubrication)—proffers guidelines for food groups and ingredients, finely attuned to the balance or imbalance of its characteristics within each individual.

At Amara, specially curated menus transcend the ordinary, offering a bespoke experience for each dosha that incorporates seasonal variations and recommended styles of cooking. The amalgamation of the six fundamental food categories—sweet, sour, salty, pungent, bitter, and astringent—with the three macronutrients—protein, fat, and carbohydrates—ensures a culinary journey that not only delights the palate but also contributes to essential nutritional factors vital for overall health. With each passing day, indulge in new, personalized menus showcasing signature traditional and contemporary cuisine, all meticulously crafted with fresh, unadulterated ingredients, devoid of artificial salts, colors, flavors, or preservatives. Embark on a gastronomic adventure that not only nourishes the body but elevates the spirit at Amara.

Nestled on the hills of Kovalam Village, Amara Ayurveda Retreat sprawls across 2.5 acres of pristine land, offering a retreat experience that harmonizes with the Evergreen Western Ghats, also known as Sahyadri.

Amara boasts 35 Ayurveda Earthen Rooms, each equipped with modern amenities and complemented by a Traditional Treatment Centre. The living spaces are carefully designed to nurture and heal, offering an unobtrusive view of the Western Ghats and ample fresh air. These earthen rooms provide a unique experience, fostering a natural connection with the surroundings.

The practice of Ayurveda at Amara extends to the innovative use of Mud, an earthly element believed to possess therapeutic properties. Derived from a combination of soil, silt, clay, and water, Mud is rich in vitamins, minerals, and plant substances. This ancient therapy, known as Mud baths, is thought to draw out excess heat and cool the body. Paired with Ayurvedic treatments, it offers a transformative and rejuvenating experience, creating memories that last a lifetime.

At the core of Amara Ayurveda Retreat is the belief that health is a way of life, echoing in every aspect of the offerings. Ayurveda acknowledges the profound impact of emotions on health, prompting the provision of a spectrum of therapy procedures. From calming massages and revitalizing herbal therapies to invigorating yoga and meditation sessions, individuals are guided on a journey to reduce stress, discover inner peace, and build emotional resilience.

Yoga, an ancient practice with origins dating back to the fifth or sixth century BC, is not just a physical exercise but a holistic integration of body, mind, and spirit. At Amara Ayurveda Retreat, the essence of yoga is celebrated, emphasizing its transformative power. Yoga fosters physical strength, flexibility, mental clarity, and inner peace. It serves as a pathway to self-discovery, promoting self-awareness, emotional stability, and a profound connection with oneself and the world.

In the realm of Ayurveda, the doshas, representing the elements, play a pivotal role in maintaining health. Amara Ayurveda Retreat, with a team of expert practitioners, delves into individual imbalances, identifying root causes through a thorough analysis of various factors. Tailored therapeutic techniques are then applied, featuring specific foods, spices, and natural remedies to restore balance and address unique needs.

Ayurveda is not just a treatment; it's a lifestyle. Amara Ayurveda Retreat emphasizes the significance of lifestyle choices in sustaining health. Recommendations span from changes in daily routines and sleep patterns to exercise and stress management strategies, ensuring a holistic approach to overall well-being. The retreat utilizes an extensive array of herbs and natural formulations, carefully selected for their properties, to restore balance. Therapeutic procedures such as massages, herbal steam treatments, and oil remedies aim at detoxification, relaxation, and rejuvenation, harmonizing the doshas and bringing about a sense of equilibrium.

Practices like yoga and meditation are encouraged at Amara Ayurveda Retreat to calm the mind, reduce stress, and enhance emotional well-being.

We highly appreciated our 7 days Ayurveda retreat with Amara. Manu from the reception is a very kind and helpful person.The ayurveda team is really doing a great job, starting with the doctor and especially the therapists (Rateesh and Sunita, not sure of the spelling). The saltwater pool is great. The retreat is in a remote and calm area however only a 5 min tuktuk drive from Kovalam beach. The (dosha specific) food is fresh and good and staff very kind. The room was very clean and spacy, we had a premium earth villa (second floor room with balcony). The bed is very confortable despite only 140 cm large. We recommend Amara Ayurveda reatreat.
