The name Sacred Lotus symbolises Sahasrara, the seventh and highest Chakra in Yoga philosophy, representing the ultimate stage of Kundalini awakening, where one discovers the exalted Self and experiences oneness with the whole. True to this symbolism, The Sacred Lotus seeks to inspire individuals through authentic services and therapies, guiding them towards rediscovering their healthy Self and embracing its deeper significance in life.
Drawing from the nurturing embrace of mud, the resilience of water, the warmth of sunlight, and the wisdom of Ayurveda, The Sacred Lotus blossomed into existence as a collaborative initiative between RAVE Hospitality and Aarshaveda Wellness Private Limited.
RAVE Hospitality, founded by Ramachandran Malayattil, Rakesh Maliakal, Abdul Rahim, and Parvathy Mohan, brings extensive experience in hospitality, medical tourism, and education across India and overseas. Aarshaveda Wellness, a third-generation venture, is dedicated to authentic Ayurvedic and organic products, while also pioneering innovative, user-friendly Ayurvedic solutions. Their diverse portfolio encompasses manufacturing, domestic and export retail, private labelling, product development, and resort management consulting.
The legacy of Aarshaveda Wellness is carried forward by Venkatesh Anilkumar, Managing Director, who descends from a lineage of eminent Ayurvedic practitioners. His grandfather, Dr K G K Panicker, was the visionary founder of Kerala Ayurveda Pharmacy Limited (KAPL) and a driving force behind the formation of the Kerala Ayurveda Mandalam in the early 1900s.
Having grown up deeply influenced by this heritage, Venkatesh embraced Ayurveda as a way of life. He contributed seven years to Kerala Ayurveda Ltd, overseeing the renowned Ayurvedagram wellness resort and clinics in Bangalore, Chennai, and Hyderabad, before founding Aarshaveda Wellness in 2015 at Aluva, Kerala.

More about The Sacred Lotus
At The Sacred Lotus, dining is seen as an essential element of healing and holistic well-being, rooted in timeless Indian wisdom that recognises the deep connection between the inner and outer self.
Every culinary creation is a bespoke masterpiece, thoughtfully crafted to align with each guest’s wellness regimen and unique needs. Meals are prepared using fresh, locally sourced, and seasonal ingredients, ensuring nourishment, balance, and delight in every dish.
The offerings range from Ayurvedic salads tailored to body types and doshas, to specialised diets for detoxification, weight management, and fitness-oriented regimes. Each dish is designed not only to support health but also to provide a wholesome and satisfying dining experience.
Guests are invited to indulge in a holistic journey, where every bite becomes a step towards rejuvenation, balance, and overall well-being.
Guests at The Sacred Lotus can embark on curated heritage and cultural walks through Fort Kochi, a destination steeped in history and old-world charm. These guided explorations lead to iconic landmarks such as the Chinese Fishing Nets, St. Francis Church, Dutch Cemetery, Old Lighthouse, and the grand Santa Cruz Basilica.
Each site unveils fascinating stories of the Portuguese, Dutch, British, Jewish, and Chinese influences, reflecting the diverse cultural legacy that has shaped Fort Kochi.
Beyond its architecture, the experience opens doors to local art, cuisine, and lifestyle, offering a seamless blend of tradition and modernity. These walks provide an immersive cultural journey, allowing guests to truly connect with the spirit of Fort Kochi – a living testimony to both its storied past and vibrant present.
At The Sacred Lotus, Ayurvedic healing is a deeply immersive journey into physical, mental, and emotional well-being. Each consultation begins with a detailed assessment of the individual’s unique energetic constitution (Prakriti), based on the three Doshas – Vata, Pitta, and Kapha. This helps identify body type, current imbalances, and areas requiring healing. Skilled physicians then design a personalised treatment plan, including tailored therapies, diet, and lifestyle recommendations. The goal is to restore equilibrium, vitality, and inner tranquillity, creating a holistic sense of wellness.
At the heart of this approach lies the Ayurvedic philosophy of harmony with nature’s rhythms. Guests receive not only personalised treatments but also practical guidance on diet, daily routine, and lifestyle—supporting long-term well-being even beyond their stay.
The Ayurveda Centre comprises a total of 2 units, thoughtfully designed to facilitate personalised therapies and holistic healing experiences.
Complementing Ayurveda, The Sacred Lotus honours the ancient discipline of Hatha Yoga, a practice that harmonises body, mind, and spirit. Here, Yoga is practised in its purest form, not merely as exercise but as a pathway to restore health and elevate consciousness towards Sat-Chit (eternal bliss), the ultimate goal of Yoga.
The centre also offers meditation practices inspired by Indian traditions, adapted to meet modern needs. Guided sessions include relaxation and awareness techniques, helping guests release tension, rejuvenate the body-mind system, and foster deep spiritual tranquillity.
Rooted in the wisdom of the Vedas, Ayurveda is recognised as the Upaveda of Atharva Veda, regarded as the Science of Harmony. It upholds the principle that disease arises from imbalance, and true healing lies in restoring the delicate balance of mind, body, and spirit.

My experience at Sacred Lotus Retreat was truly wonderful and deeply healing. From the moment I arrived, I was embraced by a peaceful atmosphere that immediately made me feel at home. The retreat radiates serenity – surrounded by nature, it offers the perfect setting to relax, rejuvenate, and reconnect with yourself. The yoga sessions were beautifully guided, balancing strength and relaxation while creating a space for inner peace. The Ayurvedic treatments were authentic, personalized, and carried out with great care, leaving me refreshed and renewed in both body and mind. The retreat is impeccably maintained – every corner is clean, organized, and filled with positive energy. The staff are exceptional: warm, attentive, and genuinely dedicated to ensuring every guest feels comfortable and cared for. From the therapists to the kitchen team, everyone works with so much love and sincerity. What makes Sacred Lotus Retreat truly special is not just the treatments, but the heart behind them – the kindness of the people, the attention to detail, and the nurturing environment they create. I left with a lighter heart, a calmer mind, and a healthier body. I would highly recommend Sacred Lotus Retreat to anyone seeking true healing, relaxation, and an unforgettable wellness journey. ?✨

My Ayurveda Journey at Sacred Lotus Índia was just perfect! Had Dr. Manu guiding me with his great knowledge and sensibility, as well as Dr Anusree and dr Talwin being always attentive and kind. The architecture of the place is beautiful, an English house wirh beautiful gardens. Starting from my beautiful and comfortable room, nice bathroom, reading room with my favorite window and comfortable yoga room. Meals were served in a classy dining room, with healthy vegetable dishes, done specially for my sensitive stomach for spicy. Thanks to Bairam from housekeeping ? Yoga teacher Maya’s classes are a combination of yoga and Soundhealing with her great voice. Therapists Archana and Silpa are the best and took very good care of me, with twice a day treatments done in structured rooms and with a lot of experience. All team, with the leadership of smiley and always available Ananthu, were just great! I’m also very great full for the great care from Slatty, responsible for making guests feel at home and she can surely do that! I will be back. ?f

I had a wonderful stay at The Sacred Lotus. The atmosphere is peaceful and welcoming, making it the perfect place to relax and recharge. The room was cozy, the bathroom spacious, and everything was spotless—giving a real sense of comfort and calm. Breakfast was vegetarian and had a warm, homely touch, almost like being at my grandma’s house. I also tried an Ayurvedic therapy, which was both relaxing and insightful. It gave me a simple introduction to this ancient approach to natural healing and balance, and I left with a much better appreciation for Ayurveda. A big thanks to Ananthu for his warm hospitality and efforts in making our one-day stay extra comfortable. Overall, a short but truly memorable visit—I’d be happy to return!!

On the path to overcoming a midlife crisis, I decided to try Panchakarma — my first one. I was searching for the right place, especially considering some serious medical conditions. I needed a clinic that would treat me with utmost care and an individualized approach. I was almost ready to overpay at Kalari Rasayana when a good local friend recommended *The Sacred Lotus* in Fort Kochi. At first, I hesitated. The clinic is within the city limits, and although I really love Fort Kochi, coming from a big city like Moscow, I expected a retreat like this to be in a more natural, remote setting. But after the very first conversation with the doctor at The Sacred Lotus, my doubts began to fade. Unlike other places I’d considered — including Kalari, where the initial doctor call felt more like a formality — my consultation here was a true, attentive deep dive into my condition. I spoke with Dr. Manmohan for 2.5 hours. I felt seen, heard, and taken seriously. That’s when I decided: this was the place. And I was right. The three weeks I spent at The Sacred Lotus turned out to be truly sacred. It’s a small clinic, located in the center of old Kochi in a charming colonial-era Portuguese house with just eight rooms. I came during the off-season, and for most of the 21-day program, I was the only guest — which, of course, added a touch of luxury to the whole experience. At first, I was a little disturbed by the noise from the nearby road. But being able to step outside and walk through the beautiful streets of Fort Kochi made up for it. And after all, I reminded myself: I came to a clinic, not a resort. If you’re sensitive to noise like me, I recommend rooms 6 or 8 — they’re quieter. But the true heart of this place is its team — who, over three weeks, became like family. Because it’s so small, all guests gather at one communal table for meals. Like at home. Only here, every dish is lovingly prepared to match each person’s unique diet plan. The food is delicious (oh, that rice soup from Chechi ?). If you’re hungry outside meal times, you can knock on the kitchen door — they’ll always try to come up with something for you. Almost always, unless the doctor says otherwise ?. If you befriend Anita and her kitchen team, you may never want to leave Panchakarma! Yoga is an important part of the program. Maya, the teacher, is the Goddess of Shavasana. She can guide you into deep yoga nidra in five minutes, clearing and revitalizing your nervous system. I still listen to a secret recording I made of her class at bedtime — it helps calm my overthinking mind and guarantees restful sleep. Maya is the best. I love Maya! The therapy team, led by Dr. Manmohan, truly knows what they’re doing. I especially appreciated their flexible, responsive approach — they adapted both the timing and content of my treatments based on how I was feeling each day. I’m happy with the results and how I’ve felt since completing the program. I wasn’t expecting miracles. Life itself is already a miracle. Detox is detox. But the tangible results? Minus 3 kg, renewed energy, quitting smoking for good, and a rediscovered joy of life. What more could I ask for? I also want to highlight the excellent management. The property manager, Ananthu, went above and beyond to make sure I was comfortable — even helping me scour half the fabric shops in Kochi to find the right material for a kimono. Ananthu has excellent taste! Maya, thank you for leading that mission ❤️. These three weeks in the petals of The Sacred Lotus were full of care, peace, and transformation. In the garden grow the most delicious green mangoes (a variety I’ll never remember), and a wild peacock named Chiku wanders freely. I miss everyone deeply and already look forward to my next detox!
