The resort is certified as a Green Leaf resort by the Kerala Government, which is the highest rating given to Ayurvedic resorts.

Stuart will be returning to this delightful resort with a group of 20 and the trip is open to everyone, whether they are interested in learning meditation or developing a meditation practice, whilst combining this with some R&R, Ayurvedic treatments or yoga (optional).
