The Benefits of an Ayurveda Holiday
In Ayurvedic medicine, practitioners use a holistic approach to healing that includes a variety of techniques, including herbal remedies, dietary guidelines, massage, yoga and meditation. The goal of Ayurveda is to help people achieve optimal health by restoring balance to their physical and mental state. Ayurveda can help to improve physical, mental, and emotional health, and promote a sense of balance, harmony, and wellbeing. Ayurveda also achieves remarkable results for rheumatic conditions, sleep problems, chronic fatigue, stress, high blood pressure, migraines, psoriasis or depression. Ayurvedic philosophy also offers us greater insight into ourselves and the world around us. Specialized Ayurveda resorts (mainly in India, Sri Lanka and Nepal) you’ll receive two to four treatments per day, such as head, body and synchronized massages, Shirodhara, Nosil treatments, herbal baths and steam baths. Ayurvedic medicine is gentle and based on a natural approach. There are many great places around the world to go for an Ayurveda holiday, where you can experience authentic Ayurvedic treatments and therapies in a beautiful and peaceful environment. The best place to go for an Ayurveda holiday depends on your personal preferences and budget. It's important to do your research and choose a reputable center or resort that offers authentic Ayurvedic treatments and therapies. The Wellbeing Experts at Puurenkuur can advice you which Ayurveda resort suits your personal needs and goals. We have been in all the hotels and resorts we offer and can advice you in detail.

Specialist treatments, a highly professional team of skilled therapists and the healing properties of the thermal waters mean that your body and mind will find their equilibrium in no time, leaving you feeling the best version of yourself.
Ananda in the Himalayas, India
The different pillows to choose from. The fantastic staff. The entirely personal touch of the treatments. The light, healthy food. The sum of all the little details makes Ananda in the Himalayas – the former royal residence of a past maharaja – unique. You really need to have experienced a stay here to fully appreciate it. One thing is certain: the awards this resort has won are more than justified.
Soma Manaltheeram Ayurveda, India
The resort specialises exclusively in Ayurveda and Yoga. As such, guests here come for specialist Ayurveda retreats. At the same time, the location, weather and beach make this wellness destination a tropical holiday paradise. After all, isn’t lazing in a hammock after a treatment looking out onto the sea with the sound of palm leaves swaying in the wind at the core of any dream holiday?
Heritance Ayurveda Maha Gedara, Sri Lanka
The driveway seems never-ending, until you see the white columns and arches of the colonial style Heritance Ayurveda Maha Gedara appear from behind the tropical greenery. With views of the Indian Ocean and a sense of being in a protected nature reserve, Ayurveda retreats here are of real quality. A unique feature is the arts & crafts centre where local residents model, weave, paint and sculpt traditional creations, which they then sell.
Lotus Villa, Sri Lanka
It is the little details that make this hotel special. The flower petals on the bed on arrival, the smiles on the faces of the incredibly friendly staff. The explanation during meals, the yoga studio with sea views, the flower bath and blessing on departure. Austrian Peter Huber and his Singhalese wife Sumendra founded Lotus Villa in 1995 and have created a little Ayurveda paradise by the Indian Ocean.
