A friend and I spent the most wonderful week at this beautiful little retreat centre in southern Kerala in February. We had travelled down from a rather busy and touristy Goa and were delighted to arrive at this secluded, idyllic and relaxed place, set amongst the palm trees, on the edge of a traditional Indian village. From the moment we... More

I spent 10 of the best days here earlier in the year. The staff were friendly, helpful, smiley and amazing - nothing was too much bother and after a couple of days they knew what we wanted before we did! Green tea was on its way at exactly the right time! The rooms were fine, no a/c but to be... More

I spent possibly the most 10 relaxing days of my life at Amrutham Yoga Retreat. I felt completely cherished by the loving staff right from the word go and felt I could really let myself go. The rooms are basic but comfortable, the food nutritious and very delicious, the pool and garden stunning, the ayurvedic treatments wonderful and the staff... More

I visited Amrutham over Christmas 2012 for five days and – after a trip to busy Madurai – again around New Year 2012 for another three days and loved it.

I spent a lovely week with the good folks at Amruthamgamaya in January. The residence and grounds are set in a lush tropical background with the sounds of the jungle all around you. The staff are caring and attentive. Usha made tasty, healthy veggie cuisine each day. I really enjoyed chilling with the guests and staff on the roof-top terrace.... More

my wife and I spent 10 happy days here in April 2012 at this friendly and relaxing location: each morning we had the option of doing some yoga under expert instruction and then it was time for a dip in the lovely pool the food was excellent and the staff unfailingly helpful and attentive

Staying at Amrutham was the best thing for helping me get back on track after a busy few months in London life. From the moment i arrived everything was taken care of and i felt totally at home. One favourite spot is the rooftop terrace, which is ideal for me as an artist......and a stunning setting for having meals. Relaxing... More
