8 Days of Mental Health Renewal at Veda 5 in Kerala: Mindful Retreat

Great location on the beach. Good Ayurveda docs. Good massages or treatments. Good saatvic food. People are wonderful. Good clean rooms. Had a lovely 3 day holiday.

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.

We stayed for 4 nights and we really enjoyed our time. This place reminded me of Fiji. The staff were so friendly and respectful. The food was top notch. This should be added in your list. The price is so reasonable.

Namaste kerala ....being a traveller, i had travelled alot and had met many and had a handfull of experience but Veda5 was the best its not the facility that makes you wonder but the staffs though they are not so professional but they are the kind hearted down to earth people i ever met they make you feel so comfortable always smiling and ready to assist us for anything at anytime. Every where i go i get a lot of experience but veda5 kerala you gave me alot of memories which i will cherish my entire life🙏🏻

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.
