Dining at Perumbayil Ayurvedamana is thoughtfully curated to complement and enhance the benefits of authentic Ayurvedic treatments. The retreat operates a strictly vegetarian kitchen that aligns with the principles of Ayurveda, using only wholesome Naturopathy ingredients. Meats, fish, eggs, curd, pickles, heavy spices, ghee, red chillies, and raw fruits or vegetables are strictly excluded from the menu. Instead, every meal is carefully prepared to promote healing and balance within the body.
The kitchen sources organically grown vegetables and is manned by women from the nearby community, offering a blend of authenticity and warmth. Guests are welcome to visit the open kitchen at any time, fostering transparency and trust in the food preparation process. A wholesome breakfast, lunch, and dinner are served daily, with special attention given to individual dietary requirements, ensuring that every guest receives meals tailored to their treatment plan.
Perumbayil Ayurvedamana takes a unique approach to serving meals by using traditional Kansa Vataki plates and bowls. These are crafted from a therapeutic blend of three metals—copper, zinc, and tin—each known for its health benefits. Copper helps relieve pain, inflammation, and prevents arthritis; zinc boosts the immune system and aids digestion; while tin is believed to alleviate headaches and insomnia. This traditional practice adds another layer of healing to the overall wellness experience.
Ayurveda holds that "we are what we eat", and this philosophy guides the entire dining experience at Perumbayil Ayurvedamana. According to Ayurvedic principles, improper nutrition is the root cause of many common ailments. The focus here is on strengthening digestion (Agni), which is considered central to health. Food is not merely sustenance—it is medicine. An Ayurvedic diet treats life’s experiences as 'food' for the body and mind, contributing to holistic nourishment.
Meals are prepared with a generous use of Ayurvedic spices and herbs, known for their ability to enhance digestion and cleanse the body of toxins. These ingredients ensure that nutrients are fully absorbed, supporting cellular health. Spices are always cooked to unlock their full healing potential. The diet is rich in vegetables, fruits, whole grains, and fibre, and deliberately light on salt to reduce fluid retention. The consumption of coffee, sodas, and alcohol is also discouraged, creating a clean and healing internal environment
MorePerumbayil Ayurvedamana is ideally located to offer guests both wellness and leisure in equal measure. Situated amidst serene greenery, it is within easy reach of several culturally rich and naturally beautiful destinations that enhance the holistic experience of Ayurveda.
Guests can explore the sacred Guruvayur Temple, a renowned pilgrimage site steeped in history and devotion. A short drive away lies the Elephant Camp at Punnathurkotta, where one can witness majestic elephants in a unique setting that blends tradition and wildlife conservation. The Mammiyoor Temple, another spiritual landmark, offers an enriching cultural experience close to the Mana.
For those interested in classical arts, a visit to Kerala Kalamandalam—a centre for learning and preserving Kerala’s performing arts—is a must. The rhythmic beauty of Kathakali and the grace of Mohiniyattam performed by trained artists can be experienced here. Nature lovers can enjoy a tranquil retreat at the Chettuva Backwaters, a perfect spot for a serene boat ride, or bask in the soothing sea breeze at Chavakkad Beach, known for its peaceful charm and golden sands.
Whether it's immersing in cultural heritage, connecting with nature, or simply taking time to unwind in beautiful surroundings, Perumbayil Ayurvedamana provides an ideal base for leisurely exploration as part of a rejuvenating Ayurvedic program.
MorePerumbayil Tharavadu served as the Desavazhi (chieftain) of the Paluvai desam following the fall of the Mahodayapuram Cheras in the 12th century, and was one of the most aristocratic Nair/Menon families in the Guruvayur region, known for its lineage of Ayurvedic practitioners. Today, Perumbayil Ayurvedamana stands as a restored sanctuary of healing, one of the few centres in Kerala where the Ashtavaidya and Guruparampara traditions co-exist, combining classical Ayurveda with Kalari and Marma therapies. Treatment at the Mana strictly follows the classical Ayurvedic principles and is delivered by renowned physicians including Ashtavaidyan Vaidyamadam Dr. Rishikumaran Namboothiri, Prof. Vasudevan, Dr. Kottakal Raghava Warrier, and Ashtavaidyan Vaidyamadam Dr. Rajeev Namboothiri. Each program includes internal medicines tailored to individual constitutions and external therapies such as Vasthi, Kashaya, and Mathra, with alternative therapies provided to female guests during menstruation. Perumbayil Ayurvedamana holds the prestigious “Diamond” classification from the Department of Tourism, Government of Kerala, and NABH entry-level accreditation from the Ministry of AYUSH, Government of India, allowing patients to avail medical insurance for treatments. The campus features eight treatment and massage rooms for both men and women, all equipped with attached bathrooms, toilets, and steam baths, along with a well-stocked pharmacy and a medicine preparation area for customised formulations. The open kitchen, run by local women, serves purely vegetarian food prepared with organically grown vegetables and traditional Kansa Vataki utensils believed to have medicinal benefits. Meals exclude meat, eggs, curd, pickles, red chillies, and raw produce, instead focusing on wholesome ingredients like rice, pulses, and coconut to support healing. The Ayurvedic diet here is not merely nourishment but a crucial part of the therapeutic process, cooked with carefully selected spices and herbs to optimise digestion and absorption. Guests are advised to remain on the premises during their treatment program to avoid disruptions from physical strain or external influences; alcohol, smoking, drugs, and outside food are strictly prohibited, and any breach of these rules may lead to cancellation of treatment and check-out. Additional amenities include a dedicated yoga room, a library stocked with Ayurvedic manuscripts and texts, and a lush herbal garden featuring medicinal plants such as Brahmi, Asoka, Arayaal, and Jaathi, all enhancing the holistic healing environment at Perumbayil Ayurvedamana.
