Athreya Medical Resort in detail

Hotel

Athreya Medical Resort is run by a family whose Ayurvedic expertise has been passed down through five generations. Set amid Kerala’s peaceful, unspoilt countryside, surrounded by paddy fields and coconut palms, the resort is around 7 km from Kottayam and close to the southern reaches of the backwaters. The cottages and all other facilities, including the restaurant and yoga and meditation hall, are built in traditional Kerala style using natural materials and wood. The resort combines medical precision with authentic Ayurveda, making it an ideal choice for guests seeking intensive, personalised guidance and professional Ayurvedic treatments. The focus is on the proven Panchakarma treatment programme, which supports both the maintenance of good health and the treatment of illness.

Location & Surroundings

The state of Kerala in southern India is known for its many Ayurveda colleges. Here, Ayurveda is not just a system of healthcare but a way of life. The monsoon season (June to October), with its high humidity, provides ideal conditions for restorative Ayurvedic treatments.

Food & Drink

The Ayurveda restaurant serves vegetarian dishes in line with your individually prescribed diet. Various diets, such as diabetic or gluten-free options, are available on request.

Health & Cures

The Ayurveda centre is led by Dr Sreejith, a highly experienced, forward-thinking Ayurvedic physician. He is supported by a qualified team of Ayurvedic doctors and therapists and specialises in treating lifestyle-related conditions such as metabolic syndrome (diabetes, obesity, migraines, insomnia, stress and its effects on the immune system), as well as cancer (see below). Traditional Ayurvedic remedies are successfully combined with Western medicine. The oils and herbal medicines required are prepared on site in the family’s own pharmacy. One of Dr Sreejith’s specialist treatments is bloodletting, which is said to support immune function and regeneration. To provide a realistic assessment of the likely outcomes of an Ayurvedic treatment programme, the team offers personal consultations before and after the programme via Skype or telephone (in English). A questionnaire about your medical history is also sent before your journey, enabling the team to tailor your care as closely as possible. During your stay, you will be given a laptop each day so that your ongoing feedback can help further refine your programme. Yoga and meditation support the results of the treatment programme. A modern, fully equipped dental surgery offers the option of dental restoration (payable on site).

Leisure

Boat trips to the nearby backwaters, visits to temples and tours to Periyar National Park can be arranged through reception.

Additional information

Hotel rooms at a glance

Athreya Medical Resort welcomes you with 19 comfortable cottages, set amid well-kept gardens and expansive paddy fields. A traditional village nearby, where farmers live with their families, adds to the resort’s authentic atmosphere. The rooms are simple and practical, with modern bathrooms and air conditioning. Mosquito nets are available on request for added comfort. After your treatments, unwind on your private terrace and enjoy the idyllic surroundings. Eight more spacious rooms are set on a small private island, just 150 metres from the main building. These are particularly available to book from November to February and offer a peaceful retreat without air conditioning, though Wi-Fi is available in the resort’s public areas. One of the resort’s highlights is the Rasayana Kuti dark-room therapy, held in a specially designed building with three protective layers. External influences are almost entirely screened out, while the interior is kept pleasantly climate-controlled, creating ideal conditions for intensive, focused healing.

Very professional care in a peaceful centre, surrounded by rice paddies and palm trees.

Lovely rice-paddy scenery. A quiet, very well-maintained centre. The room had a comfortable bed, air conditioning and a fan. A warm welcome and attentive individual care. Reassuring daily professional support.

Great! Everything was excellent. The therapists and medical care were excellent. But it’s not a wellness holiday! I arrived with a huge black bruise on my right buttock. No one was allowed to touch it because it hurt so much. The one-hour daily

The additional one-hour special treatment each day made the bruise dissolve and disappear. It couldn’t have gone better. Another lady felt she couldn’t hear properly. They immediately arranged an appointment for her with an ENT specialist.

The right destination to find some peace and set change in motion.

I chose this place for its high medical standards and because I wanted an authentic Ayurvedic treatment programme. My expectations were not only met, but exceeded. Dr Sreejit’s personal commitment and extensive, in-depth knowledge impressed me. Here, they quickly understand each guest’s individual concerns, even without many words, and know which solutions will work. As well as the treatments, they offer lots of helpful advice on lifestyle, nutrition and other useful measures. The follow-up care after the treatment programme, including ongoing contact, is also very commendable. I always felt in good hands at this special place, with its highly dedicated staff. When the time comes, I’d be happy to return and recharge.
