Our take · editors' note
Suits: Suits people wanting a doctor-led Ayurveda package of three days to four weeks on a quiet backwater island, with air-conditioned rooms and cottages at many price levels.
Maybe not for: Not for anyone wanting a spa treat without consultations, or a lively social scene; days centre on treatments, rest and prescribed meals.
Great for
- long doctor-led stays
- burnout & stress
- solo travellers
