12 Days Ayurveda Detox Panchakarma Retreat At Veda 5 in Kerala, India

This is truly the most wonderfully relaxing place. The staff could not be nicer or kinder, the food is delicious and the treatments are incredible. I have felt so cared for and nurtured - just what I needed and I'm very sad to be leaving.

I couldn't recommend Veda 5 more. The staff are authentically kind and warm and want you to have the best stay. The beach is paradise that rolls on forever. There is beautiful wildlife. The food is exceptional, every meal was delicious with a nice rotation of dishes. The yoga and ayervedic treatments are exceptional. The perfect place to destress and unwind. We will definitely be back!

This is the ultimate place to relax, for mindfulness and wellbeing. The Ayurveda treatments are excellent and so is the staff who will go the extra mile to delight their guests. The beach views are beautiful and the pool is coming soon. Yes, there is lots of deliciously prepared food, fun activities, workshops, and much more. Try it you’ll love it😉. Five thumbs up for the current management. Their dedication and good management shines through their staff.

Veda5 was an experience I would recommend to everyone.Doctors & all staff were always helpful & friendly. The food with variety of options was amazing .Along with Ayurveda , cosmetology & naturopathic treatment were excellent. massages, yoga & meditation sessions , activities and more. Room was clean ,all needed were provided. Airport transport given in the best way.This is my third time visiting and I will definitely come back again.

My partner and I stayed for two weeks. Overall, we had an enjoyable experience, but there are a few points worth mentioning. Positives: - The food was excellent—delicious, varied, and surprisingly, we managed to lose a few kilograms despite eating a lot. - The beach is stunning, providing a beautiful setting for relaxation and having fun in the waves - The yoga area is also very pleasant, creating a peaceful atmosphere for practice. - The staff were consistently kind and helpful throughout our stay. - The sunsets were absolutely breathtaking. - We were never bored, thanks to the daily activities Negative aspects: - The daily follow-up with the doctor was virtually non-existent, which felt disappointing. - The quality of the massages varied greatly depending on the masseuse. A refresher training for the staff could be helpful to standardize techniques. Personally, I found the treatments much less enjoyable than expected, especially as massages were a key reason I chose this ayurvedic retreat. - The medical aspect of Ayurveda seemed to be lacking. Despite having different health concerns, my partner and I were given identical treatments and received the same powders at the end of our stay, which felt generic rather than tailored. - Unfortunately, they severely burned my partner during a hot oil massage. Although the staff tried to help by applying cream and cleaning the wound daily, it worsened, and when we brought it up, we were offered a complimentary massage that was never properly arranged. In fact, we had to remind them on the last day, and even then, it was scheduled during an existing massage session, making it less of a true compensation. Upon returning home, my partner needed medical attention for three weeks, with bi-weekly visit to the nurse and he still has a scar seven months later. - We were promised a document with recommendations on how to apply Ayurvedic principles at home based on our individual needs, but we never received it. In summary, if you’re looking for a relaxing beachside retreat with healthy, delicious food, this place is a good option. However, if you're seeking authentic and thorough Ayurvedic care, you may want to consider another location.
