Athreya Ayurvedic Centre

Affordable Ayurveda in Kerala

Athreya Ayurvedic Centre

Reasons to go to Athreya:
✔️ Affordable Ayurveda in Kerala 
✔️ Rapid detox in 7 to 14 days
✔️ Proper 21-day panchakarma 
✔️ Effective weight-loss programs 
✔️ Accommodations for minimalists

✔️ Ayurvedic vegetarian food
✔️ Low cost private yoga sessions
✔️ Long duration of daily treatments
Athreya Ayurvedic Centre ("Athreya") is one of the best value-for-money health resorts in India because its offers a low price and a high duration of daily treatments.  The duration of treatments at Athreya is at least two to three hours per day (sometimes more), thus exceeding the norm at most Ayurveda centres. Athreya’s doctors are not bound by any hard-and-fast rules or prescriptions: they do what is necessary to help each guest obtain the best results. Yoga is offered twice a day at Athreya. The rooms are comfortable but very basic, roughly equivalent to an average 3-star hotel.

Food variety and quality are limiting factors at Athreya. Only individuals who are very serious about their health should consider Athreya. The nearest beach is at least 90 minutes away by private taxi and excursions and sightseeing are generally discouraged by Athreya's doctors. Athreya is rated 5 out of 5 on TripAdvisor from 800+ reviews – this is testimony to the quality of healthcare at Athreya but also misleading because Athreya is not for everyone.

  • Athreya manufactures its proprietary Ayurvedic medicines and administers these to guests.
