Ayurvedic Relaxation Package for 7 Days

This retreat brought me back to myself and for this I am appreciative of the tailored, responsive care and service received from the Munkudil team/ family. They eased me into a different mindset and helped me feel less anxious. Highly recommend for a solo trip, it felt safe and absolutely peaceful. Yoga and daily massages plus the views of surrounding nature made this a holiday I will remember for the rest of this life. Thank you to you all!!!

I’ve recently just got back from Munkudil, I have visited this place before a couple of years ago with my husband for my health and I cannot recommend it enough. From the family helping to run it, to the cleaners & massage therapists they are just truly wonderful and such special people, they make the place what it is! They make you feel at home and part of the family, mamas cooking is just so yummy too. This visit was more of a working trip, I took a few ladies from my Yoga studio on a retreat and they loved it just as much as I did. It was one of the ladies birthdays when we arrived and they did a wonderful surprise for her, which was just lovely. The ladies have also said they would definitely visit again and love the family, cleaners and massage therapists like family too. They just do so much for you to make your stay just perfect, they cannot do enough for you. The Ayurveda and herbal medicines have helped me so much over the last couple of years too. After being told by UK doctors I would be in pain forever, Jomy and the Dr has helped me so much and I’m no longer in pain. I continue my Ayurveda healing and Yoga is a huge part of my life, if you need a place to just be or a place to heal this is the perfect place with stunning views to nourish mind body and soul. Thank you and I definitely recommend and I will be back!! 😃💚✨ Lots of love & gratitude Emma x

We found this place on google maps by searching on this certain area. From the contact person we got a very fast response with all required information and photos. After a warm welcome at arrival we felt an exceptional caring and lovely attitude during our whole stay. The whole house and garden is full of art and daily reminders of how our life and nature is.We spent our days at the bamboo hut which was clean and cosy with an amazing view of the river. The open-air bathroom is the best place to take a shower in the middle of the jungle! Listening to the sound of the birds and soaking in the surrounding vibes of nature is already a wonderful treatment for the soul. In the morning and in the afternoon animals are coming to the opposite side of the river, we even saw elephants! In addition we had the chance to take yoga classes instructed by a precious master with great experience and spirit. Thank to him, we started each day by cultivating inner peace and love within us. This experience made our time even more special and made us even more grounded and rejuvenated. All the meals freshly served - breakfast, lunch, afternoon snacks & tea, dinner- were super tasty high quality food and offered in great variosity. At Munkudil everyone is extremely kind, helpful and the hospitality is outstanding. We are so grateful for every minute spent in this particular home away from home. It will always be a heartwarming memory!

Breathtaking, natural retreat with innovative decor, doting staff and the most awesome balcony view in Kerala. Situated on a large tributary to the Periyar River, the river was glass, silent and a complete absence of sounds…so rare in India. Complete peacefulness. Caring staff made homemade meals. Ayurvedic treatments available as well as yoga. Very special place!!

Munkudil is an enchanting and highly unique retreat house, run by an equally extraordinary family. My week there was truly magical. It’s clear that the owner put a lot of thought and effort into creating the retreat —from the eco-architecture to the art and the one-of-a-kind rooms— located in a gorgeous part of Kerala between the coast and the mountain hill stations about 1.5 hours east of Cochin airport. Birding, paddleboarding, wildlife watching, swimming, and temple visits are all in the vicinity. The weather is ideal and there are almost no mosquitos (at least when I was there in February)! The property defies easy categorization. Though it is not an Ayurvedic clinic per se, two highly capable and articulate Ayurvedic physicians visit regularly to consult with guests seeking treatments (massage therapists are available). A kind yoga instructor comes by daily for a gentle asana, pranayama, and meditation session, held in a hall just above the treatment rooms. But the caretaker family and house itself make the place much more personal and endearing than a typical Ayurvedic retreat. Lalu, Mini, and their son Unni are intimately involved in ensuring that guests are comfortable, well-fed (food is outstanding), and attended to for any excursion.They are big-hearted and dedicated, supported by several equally wonderful staff who are warm and caring. Manju, the reservation coordinator. was also gracious and thoughtful from start to finish. After my one week stay, I miss them all already! For those who seek a more intimate, unique, and artful Kerala retreat with wonderful food and caretakers in an inspiring and quiet riverside setting, I can think of no better place. I hope to bring my family back next year.
