Ayurveda is a precise and complex knowledge, not a wellness aesthetic. A solid authority must guide and supervise any Ayurvedic detox journey.
The luxury in Ayurveda is the right knowledge, at the right timing, from the right guidance.
Every program is led, diagnosed, and personally overseen by resident Vaidya Carolin and Vaidya Kiranlal VS. Not a rotating roster.
Your treatment plan is confirmed after a full Ayurvedic health consultation, based on your actual condition — never a themed menu you picked in advance online.
A small and quiet hotel on the Asturian coast. Not a scheduled slot inside a resort.

Panchakarma is Ayurveda's cleansing program — clearing the body of accumulated waste that isn't normally eliminated on its own. Applied as annual maintenance for those focused on prevention, or shaped around your specific health status when needed, with diet and therapies advised throughout — guided by our experienced Vaidyas and a team of highly qualified Ayurvedic therapists.
Treatments are drawn from options including Abhyanga, Shirodhara, Pinda Sweda, Udwarthana, Mukha Lepa, Pada Abhyanga and Herbal Steam Therapy — set for you after consultation, not chosen in advance.
Reserve the Full CureWhat if just one week could help you reconnect with your health, restore your energy, and regain your inner balance? If you've been living with stress, fatigue, inflammation, digestive discomfort, or poor sleep, this program is your chance to step away from your daily routine and experience real Ayurveda — guided by our experienced Vaidyas and a team of highly qualified Ayurvedic therapists.

Reserve Your 7-Day ProgramYour treatment plan is charted from your first consultation, on arrival. Your package guarantees the number and duration of treatments you've paid for — what changes, based on your Vaidya's diagnosis, is which treatments you receive and how they're adapted to you. They'll also advise on the food and herbal teas served during your stay.
Your retreat is charted from your Vaidya's diagnosis on arrival. This happens at a 60-minute Ayurvedic Health Consultation: a holistic interview with you to listen, understand and go deep into your current health conditions and history, diet and lifestyle routines, digestive health, sleep patterns, energy levels, body waste elimination and much more.
In all our programs, the Vaidya will also assess your evolution by the end of the stay and you will receive a take-home plan with personalized recommendations. During Panchakarma, daily follow ups are also included in order to supervise your journey and make the necessary adjustments to your specific needs.
Ayurveda advises specific food to improve health that is suited to your body type, your current imbalances and seasonal circumstances.
In our programs, all meals will be completely vegetarian, cooked with the necessary spices to classical Ayurvedic recipes, by cooks with years of experience. You will receive full board freshly home-made menus (3 meals per day), plus herbal Ayurvedic teas.
Using either cooked sesame oil infused with herbs, dried herbal powders or other ayurvedic formulas and liquids — every component is customized by the Vaidya to your precise needs and executed by trained and experienced ayurvedic therapists, per the Vaidya's instructions.
Treatments are advised daily for a minimum of 7 days for full effect, which is why both programs here run at least that length.
Daily sessions to move, ground and connect with the body and mind in a conscious day. The sessions are beginner-friendly and all the equipment is provided — even if you've never done yoga before, our instructor will make sure you enjoy the experience.
In the afternoons, there will be time to relax and learn about Ayurveda through practical sessions with valuable knowledge to take home with you about ayurvedic cooking and lifestyle.
Ayurveda is a lifestyle that holds that "food is medicine," and in these workshops with our experienced cooks and Vaidya, you will be introduced to healthy daily routines and practices, ayurvedic cooking methods and the use of spices.
A well-furnished, official three-star hotel in the peaceful town of San Esteban de Pravia, Asturias — warmth, cleanliness, comfortable beds and spacious rooms to share with your partner or to enjoy on your own, just a relaxing stroll away from the banks of a calm river flowing into the Cantabrian Sea.
A full-body warm oil massage customized to your constitution, traditionally used to support relaxation and circulation.
Warm medicated oil poured in a steady stream over the forehead for 20–30 minutes, traditionally used for deep relaxation and calming the nervous system.
A warm herbal poultice massage, traditionally used to ease muscular tension.
A stimulating herbal-powder massage in upward strokes, traditionally used to support circulation and skin tone.
A focused massage of the lower legs and feet activating pressure points, traditionally used to ease tired feet and support relaxation.
Medicated oils administered gently through the nostrils, traditionally used to support clear breathing.
Which of these apply to you is decided at your consultation, not chosen in advance.
Five rooms. Intimate and authentic. Nested in a picturesque Spanish town in Asturias.
Styled in the spirit of a real Kerala home rather than a resort — traditional textiles and details, on the banks of the Río Nalón where it meets the Cantabrian Sea. Fewer guests means personalized and real attention, not a rotation. The hotel holds an official three-star rating, chosen for warmth, cleanliness, and comfort rather than resort scale.
From the moment you arrive until the day you return home, every part of your retreat is thoughtfully designed to support your lasting wellbeing.
From the moment you arrive, you're welcomed into a calm and peaceful environment designed for healing.
You'll settle into your accommodation and ease into the retreat at a comfortable pace, meet the Vaidya and start with your initial health consultation.
Everything is intentionally unhurried, giving you the space to relax before your treatments begin.
Each day follows a gentle rhythm that balances personalised treatments and/or cleansing days with home-made and tailored ayurvedic food, rest, movement, and quiet moments to reconnect with yourself.
Your doctor reviews your progress, adjusting therapies as your body begins to respond.
Coming back to balance isn't rushed — it unfolds naturally, one day at a time.
No two guests are exactly the same, but every day follows a calm rhythm designed to support your recovery.
As your retreat comes to an end, you won't simply leave with memories.
We will give you a roadmap that helps you continue your progress long after the retreat has finished.
Follow-up online consultations can also be booked after the retreat to support your long-term wellbeing.
Ayurveda is a classical medical system originated in India, and in continuous and successful practice for more than 5,000 years, which uses herbal medicine, body therapy, diet and lifestyle guidance, cleansing therapy (Panchakarma) and much more tools to ensure wellbeing and vitality.
Panchakarma's hallmark is personalization: two individuals with the same apparent imbalance may still need different treatment to correct it — which is why every program here starts with a diagnosis, not a checklist.
Panchakarma is not a spa treatment, but a supervised detoxification process, done in three stages. This way Panchakarma goes minimum from 15 to 21 days, or more.
Getting the body ready for the cleanse is essential. Internal oleation, oil and sweating therapies, and herbal preparations loosen deep-seated toxins.
The 5 cleanses are Vamana (therapeutic emesis), Virechana (therapeutic purgation), Basti (enema), Nasya (nasal cleanse), and Raktamokshana (bloodletting) — only medically prescribed according to your health circumstances.
Last, but not least, the recovery. Herbs, diet, and rest rebuild strength and stabilize the results.
The same Kerala tradition led by Kerala doctors, but without the travel burden and the long-haul flight to India.
Still in Spain, a trusted holiday destination, but away from the Mediterranean heat, the overwhelming island tourism and the beach crowds.
Choose Asturias: cooler air, green hills, mild heat, impressive coastline and mountains, unexplored spanish town culture and a safe environment in a quiet river estuary.
Asturias is officially branded "Paraíso Natural" (Natural Paradise) — green hills, the Picos de Europa mountains nearby, and a noticeably cooler and milder weather than the rest of Spain. Better conditions for rest and recovery than a hot beach resort.
Home to Oviedo's UNESCO-listed pre-Romanesque architecture and the lively city of Gijon, the historic Camino de Santiago pilgrim route running through the region, and the charming fishing village of Cudillero close by.
Asturias sees a fraction of the mass tourism of Mallorca, The Canarian Islands, The Costa Brava, Costa del Sol or Costa Blanca in the Mediterranean Coast — a quieter, more authentic setting matched to what a real recovery program needs.
A quiet former coal port turned into a peaceful river village on the Nalón estuary — local gastronomy, fishing boats, seafront promenades, and a walk to wild beaches and impressive coastal cliffs. Close by to the town of Muros de Nalón, part of the Camino de Santiago.
