The benefits of an ayurveda holiday

There are so many reasons to treat yourself to an ayurveda holiday: to detoxify, for stress relief, to improve your overall health & wellbeing, or to re-energize/rebalance and revitalize. Ayurveda focusses on your body, mind and soul with gentle treatments and lots of personal attention. 

Type of Ayurveda programs

There are various types of Ayurveda programs, depending on health needs and goals. There are Ayurveda light programs for a week (Rasayana), intensive panchakarma (purification of body and mind) programs for a minimum of 2 weeks or medical Ayurveda programs (for the treatment of specific conditions or complaints). Medical Ayurveda require a longer stay. We also recommend repeat treatments and therapies.
