The value

What this treatment changes for you.

Real privacy

Not a busy resort — a private island program with one guest (or couple) at a time.

Doctor-led

Every therapy is prescribed, not menu-picked — the difference between spa and clinical Ayurveda.

Couples programs

Side-by-side care with individual diagnoses and parallel treatments.

Genuine quiet

Car-free island, river light, river quiet — the conditions healing actually requires.

Cuisine as medicine

Every meal is part of the protocol — taste, season and dosha all considered.

Discretion

Used regularly by executives, founders and public figures who need to disappear, properly.

FAQ

Common questions.

What makes a program 'luxury' here?+

The luxury is privacy, time and expertise — not gold leaf. One guest (or couple) at a time, a doctor on-site, prescribed protocols and an entire island as your retreat.

Single or couples programs?+

Both. Couples programs run side-by-side with individual diagnoses and parallel treatments.

What's included?+

Private accommodation, all meals, all therapies, all herbs, daily 1:1 doctor time and your take-home protocol.

How private is it?+

Genuinely private — sessions are 1:1, accommodation is yours alone, and the island itself is car-free and quiet.

How long are programs?+

3, 5, 7 and 14-night programs. Longer Panchakarma protocols are also available.
