Ayurvedic Food

If the main purpose of your visit to Rockholm is to lose weight, cure a specific health issue, undergo a proper panchakarma (detoxification) or if you simply wish to eat healthy, then a personalized Ayurvedic diet will be given to you, under the direction of the in-house Ayurvedic doctor. Meals at Rockholm tend to be individualized plated meals as opposed to buffet meals. However, during periods of exceptionally high occupancy, Rockholm may offer a buffet instead of plated meals.

Like most health resorts, the Ayurvedic diet at Rockholm is vegetarian. Non-vegetarian food is not available at Rockholm. However, there are a number of seafood restaurants within walking distance, if you feel the need to indulge.
