Sitaram Ayurveda Beach Retreat
Luxury Ayurveda Hospital
India / Kerala / Thrissur
Sitaram Ayurveda Beach Retreat is a tranquil coastal sanctuary nestled along the Arabian Sea in Kerala, blending over a century of Ayurvedic heritage with nature-integrated wellness. Founded in 1921 with royal blessings, Sitaram continues to uphold classical Ayurvedic wisdom under the visionary leadership of Dr. Ramanathan Devaraja Iyer and Dr. Vignesh Devraj. The retreat is NABH-accredited and functions as both a certified Ayurvedic hospital and a wellness destination, offering personalized Panchakarma detox therapies, treatments for neurological and lifestyle disorders, and mental health support through Ayurveda. Guests receive tailored care based on diagnostic tools like pulse reading and Trividhapariksha, with therapies addressing doshic imbalances, Agni (digestive fire), and Prakriti (constitution). The healing environment is enriched by yoga, meditation, pranayama, laughter yoga, and spiritual practices like walking meditation in the on-site labyrinth. Special attention is given to Vata-related conditions and idiopathic disorders often overlooked by modern medicine.
Rooted in preventive care, Sitaram emphasizes the power of diet, daily routines, and lifestyle alignment to restore and sustain balance. Guests follow structured treatment and dietary plans such as AamaPachana Aahara, Poorva Virechanam Aahara, and post-cleansing Peyadi Aahara, tailored for digestion, detox, or weight loss. Fresh, organic, vegetarian meals are served mindfully without buffets, in alignment with the six Ayurvedic tastes to balance doshas. The Satvik restaurant promotes screen-free, conscious eating and offers Ayurvedic cooking classes. Herbal medications are carefully formulated in-house, using high-quality ingredients sourced across India. Beyond detox, Rasayana therapies and post-Panchakarma guidelines help guests retain benefits and transition into sustainable wellness. Commonly treated issues include migraines, varicose veins, allergies, and infertility, while signature therapies like Shirodhara and Abhyanga soothe the nervous system and enhance circulation.
With eco-conscious accommodations, natural architecture, and a compassionate multidisciplinary team, Sitaram offers an immersive healing experience rooted in tradition and adapted to modern needs. The retreat celebrates Kerala’s ideal climate for Ayurveda, its Ashta Vaidya lineage, and the synergy of Yoga and Ayurveda originating from the Vedas. Guests benefit from emergency care, 24/7 medical support, and nature-rich surroundings that promote rest and reflection. Whether at the beachside retreat or its sister location in the hills of Munnar, Sitaram guides individuals toward physical vitality, emotional clarity, and spiritual fulfillment—making it a globally respected destination for authentic Ayurvedic healing.

More about Sitaram Ayurveda Beach Retreat
Dining at Sitaram Ayurveda Beach Retreat is an integral part of the healing journey, where food is regarded as medicine. The retreat follows the Ayurvedic principle that diet plays a central role in restoring and maintaining balance. All meals are vegetarian, seasonal, minimally processed, and thoughtfully prepared using fresh, organic, and locally sourced ingredients. Rather than offering buffets, meals are served with care and intention to encourage mindful, distraction-free eating. The Satvik restaurant reinforces this philosophy by providing a calm, screen-free environment where guests are invited to reconnect with their food. Ayurvedic cooking sessions are also offered, allowing guests to learn the fundamentals of sattvic cooking and continue healthy habits at home.
Each guest’s meals are personalized to align with their Ayurvedic treatment plan and dosha balance. All six tastes in Ayurveda—sweet, sour, salty, pungent, bitter, and astringent—are incorporated thoughtfully to maintain internal harmony, while avoiding overuse that may aggravate doshas. Special dietary protocols support various stages of healing and detox, including AamaPachana Aahara (to ignite Agni and reduce inflammation), Poorva Virechanam Aahara (to prepare for purgation with sour and spicy items), and Pre-Vamanam Diet (mucilaginous, carb-rich foods to aid emesis). Post-cleansing diets like Peyadi Aahara focus on rice gruels to soothe the digestive system, while the Five Meal Plan (FMP) supports weight loss through frequent, smaller meals. Gluten-free, lactose-free, and diabetic diets are also available based on medical needs.
The dietary approach during Panchakarma follows a structured three-phase process. In the preparatory phase, guests are served light, Agni-kindling meals; during detox, meals are tailored to stimulate doshic elimination; and in the post-treatment phase, the focus shifts to simple, nourishing foods that gently transition the body back to a regular diet. Every diet plan is supervised and adjusted by Ayurvedic doctors through ongoing consultations, ensuring that each meal serves a specific therapeutic function. This deep-rooted commitment to personalized nutrition not only enhances physical healing but also fosters long-term behavioral change, emotional clarity, and conscious food habits in everyday life.
Sitaram Ayurveda Beach Retreat offers more than just healing—it provides a peaceful haven for relaxation, reflection, and spiritual enrichment. Set along the tranquil shores of the Arabian Sea, the retreat embraces nature as a healing partner. Guests can enjoy therapeutic sea breezes, beachside meditations, and quiet walks that restore inner balance. The architecture and accommodations are thoughtfully designed with natural materials, calm aesthetics, and ocean views to create an environment of comfort and serenity. Complementing the Beach Retreat, the Mountain Retreat in Munnar provides a contrasting yet equally nurturing landscape for deeper immersion in nature.
Leisure at Sitaram is intentionally slow-paced and deeply immersive. Daily routines, especially during Panchakarma, are unhurried to encourage solitude and inner awareness. The retreat features a symbolic walking labyrinth that offers a path for quiet contemplation and spiritual integration. Yoga, meditation, and pranayama sessions are personalized and restorative—enhancing relaxation and clarity without overwhelming the system, particularly during detox phases. Guests also benefit from weekly lectures and Ayurvedic cooking classes that invite deeper understanding of wellness as a lifestyle, not just a treatment.
Sitaram’s leisure experiences extend beyond traditional therapy by fostering emotional, mental, and spiritual harmony. The retreat includes unique practices like Yoga Nidra for deep relaxation and Laughter Yoga for emotional release, both of which contribute to overall mental clarity and joy. Nature walks among fruit trees, herbs, and lush gardens reinforce the connection between human wellness and ecological balance. This integration of sensory healing, natural surroundings, and mindful experiences makes Sitaram an ideal space for those seeking not only physical rejuvenation but also a profound sense of inner peace.
Sitaram Ayurveda Beach Retreat is a distinguished center of authentic Ayurvedic healing, rooted in classical wisdom and enriched by Kerala’s vibrant tradition. Treatments at the retreat follow time-tested Ayurvedic principles such as Tridosha, Agni, and Prakriti, supported by diagnostic techniques like pulse reading and Trividhapariksha to uncover physical, emotional, and energetic imbalances. Panchakarma, the cornerstone of Sitaram's therapies, is offered as a fully personalized detox program with three stages—Poorva Karma, Pradhana Karma, and Paschat Karma—typically lasting 7 to 21 days. It is prescribed for a wide range of conditions including lifestyle disorders (like obesity, diabetes, and PCOD), neurological concerns, allergies, hormonal imbalances, and even idiopathic ailments. Therapies such as Shirodhara, Nasya, Vasti, Shirolepa, and Abhyanga are tailored according to individual constitutions, helping restore doshic balance and rejuvenate the body and mind.
Food and digestion are central to Sitaram’s Ayurvedic approach, with the digestive fire—Agni—being the pillar of vitality and immunity. Every meal is carefully curated to support Agni and balance the doshas. Six Ayurvedic tastes—sweet, sour, salty, pungent, bitter, and astringent—are thoughtfully incorporated while avoiding incompatible combinations. Guests are offered sattvic, vegetarian meals, free from refined ingredients, and tailored to their treatment plans. Specialized dietary protocols include Aama Pachana Aahara (for reducing inflammation), Poorva Virechanam Aahara, Pre-Vamanam diets, Peyadi Aahara (for sensitive digestion), the Five Meal Plan (FMP) for weight management, and gluten-free or diabetic-friendly options. Panchakarma diets evolve in three structured stages, supporting detox and restoring equilibrium. Sitaram’s mindful no-buffet policy encourages conscious eating habits, reframing food as medicine.
Sitaram also integrates mental, emotional, and spiritual dimensions of Ayurveda into its healing philosophy. Therapies for mental well-being include Ayurvedic psychology (Sattvavajaya), Yoga Nidra, Pranayama, meditation, and Laughter Yoga—each supporting cognitive function, emotional regulation, and clarity. Medicinal herbs such as Brahmi, Ashwagandha, Shankapushpi, Amalaki, and Bala are used to enhance memory, reduce stress, and support neurological and hormonal health. The retreat’s emphasis on post-treatment care includes Rasayana therapies and lifestyle guidance to preserve the detox benefits. Every medicine is formulated under expert supervision using high-quality herbs sourced from across India. With emergency medical support, NABH accreditation, and a skilled healing team, Sitaram stands as a trusted, holistic Ayurvedic destination that harmoniously bridges traditional wisdom with modern wellness needs.

This was the first time for me and my mum doing an Ayurvedic retreat and we really couldn’t ask for a better place to stay for our 21 days panchakarma experience. Sitaram Beach Retreat is an excellent resort that goes above and beyond for your health and happiness. Next to the professional consultations and Ayurvedic treatments, every staff member is committed to provide the best service possible- From check in/ front desk over the whole kitchen staff to the room cleaning service and gardeners. We particularly enjoyed the awareness sessions such as group and private Yoga as well as Pranayama and we hope that in the future the resort will continue to focus and expand these sessions. We enjoyed to heal and relax in this small, green and beautiful resort, directly located by the ocean. Thank you for taking such good care of us! Namaste 🙏🏼

I arrived as somewhat of a sceptic and ended up feeling thoroughly relaxed and refreshed. The staff are fantastic, the food wholesome and delicious and the Premium villas very comfortable indeed. I lost weight, learned a bit of yoga (in group and private classes) and even learned to cook some new delicious dishes. You can do as much or as little as you like….no pressure. My wife did everything on offer and loved every moment. She felt nurtured and cared for during the whole week. Its very authentic and we highly recommend it. Rooms: Premium villas very private and comfortable. Cleaned daily with love and care. Aircon and fan with excellent outdoor shower. Mozzie nets on all windows and doors.
