Frequently Asked Questions
What is Ayurveda and how does it work?
Ayurveda is a traditional system of wellbeing focused on balance between body, mind and lifestyle. At an Ayurveda retreat, programmes are personalised using individual consultations, tailored nutrition, therapeutic treatments and daily routines designed to support long-term wellbeing.
Do I need to know my Dosha before attending an Ayurveda retreat?
No. Your dosha is identified during an initial consultation at the retreat. This assessment helps guide your programme, including treatments, diet and daily routines.
Is Ayurveda suitable for everyone?
Ayurveda is gentle and adaptable, making it suitable for a wide range of people. Retreats are often chosen by those experiencing stress, low energy, digestive discomfort, poor sleep or a general sense of imbalance.
What types of treatments are included?
Treatments vary by retreat but may include warm oil massage, steam therapies, herbal applications and relaxation practices. Some retreats also offer cleansing programmes such as Panchakarma as part of longer stays.
Will I be expected to follow a strict routine?
Ayurveda encourages daily rhythm, but programmes are adapted to your energy levels and goals. Some retreats are more structured, while others balance treatments with rest, gentle movement and personal time.
How long should I stay at an Ayurveda retreat?
Stays of 7–10 nights are common for introducing Ayurvedic routines and restoring balance. Longer stays of 14–21 nights are typically chosen for more immersive Panchakarma programmes.
Where can I experience an authentic Ayurveda retreat?
Authentic Ayurveda retreats can be found in India and Sri Lanka, as well as select European Ayurveda cure centres that combine traditional practices with modern comfort. Examples include Ananda in the Himalayas and Somatheeram Ayurveda Village in India, as well as Alpino Atlantico in Madeira, and Ayurveda Resort Mandira in Austria.
