Yoga Retreat
Ayurveda Retreat
Nestled atop the majestic cliffs of Varkala, overlooking the Arabian Sea, "Prana" is a transformative retreat that seamlessly blends the ancient wisdom of Ayurveda with the holistic practice of yoga. Our sanctuary is designed for those seeking to escape the demands of modern life and reconnect with their inner selves. The name "Prana," signifying the life-force energy, embodies our core philosophy: to revitalize your body, mind, and spirit. Upon arrival, you'll be greeted with a personalized consultation by our expert Ayurvedic doctor to determine your unique dosha (mind-body type). This assessment forms the foundation of your retreat, guiding your diet, therapies, and yoga practices. Each day is a carefully curated journey beginning with invigorating yoga and meditation sessions as the sun rises over the ocean. Your days are filled with therapeutic Ayurvedic treatments like Abhyanga and Shirodhara, aimed at detoxifying your body and calming your nervous system. In the evenings, you'll enjoy nourishing, dosha-balancing meals prepared with fresh, local ingredients, followed by discussions on Ayurvedic principles and philosophy. Our serene clifftop location offers the perfect backdrop for introspection and healing. You'll have ample time to relax, walk along the pristine beach, or simply watch the waves from your balcony. The retreat focuses on an intimate group setting to ensure personalized attention and a supportive community. "Prana" is more than just a getaway; it's a profound journey toward lasting health, peace, and self-awareness.

It was a great stay at Fragrant Nature by the lakeside. Very warmly received at the reception and check in process was smooth. Room was clean and neatly maintained with a good view overlooking the lake. Food was really good even though felt a bit overpriced but the quantity more than made up for it. Providing smaller portions for single person would be helpful to avoid food wastage. Since I was on business travel and was occupied with work, didn’t get time to go around the property and explore. The spa services were excellent and good massage done by therapist Clinton relieving my pain. Will surely recommend others to visit.
Really satisfied with the stay and experience at fragrant nature, paravur. Special mention to all the staff for making us comfortable at each and every moment.
We spend 1 day in private pool villa. The view from this resort is breathtaking and the villa with private pool was amazing. All the service we got were excellent and all staff was very helpful and friendly. Thank you for providing excellent stay for us.
Really good stay we had at fragrant, Really friendly staffs, nice atmosphere. Special mention on Safwan for his support.
The location and atmosphere are excellent. I had come her with my husband for a detox and it was just that. Would have loved to stay for 1 more day. As it was summer, the resort was not crowded at all. We had a lot of privacy too. It’s the perfect getaway front he busy life in a city.. The spa session was extremely relaxing and since we had to leave a little early Dr.Reju was very considerate and scheduled an early appointment for us. The therapists Rakhi and Clinton were very experienced and we had an amazing experience at the spa The staff were also very friendly. Would definitely suggest this to other people. Looking for a revisit sometime in the future.
