About

Rooted in a family tradition of Ayurvedic healing that spans approximately 400 years, SreeChithra Ayurhome offers a traditional approach to wellness in the coastal town of Chavakkad, Kerala. Established by Dr. Madhusudanan, the retreat brings together generations of Ayurvedic knowledge, physician-guided treatments and a tranquil residential setting. Its philosophy centres on individualized care, with experienced Ayurvedic doctors or Vaidyas, overseeing therapies according to each guest’s needs and health requirements.

Set along the Canoli Canal, the property is distinguished by its traditional Kerala Nalukettu-inspired architecture, reflecting the region’s heritage and cultural identity. Well-furnished, well-ventilated accommodation and peaceful surroundings create a comfortable environment for guests undertaking Ayurvedic treatments. The experience extends beyond therapies to include yoga, meditation and opportunities to reconnect with nature, supporting a holistic approach to physical and mental wellbeing.

Ayurveda at SreeChithra Ayurhome is approached as a comprehensive system of care rather than simply a spa experience. The centre offers a range of residential programmes, from general wellness and rejuvenation to treatments tailored to specific health concerns. Therapies and prescribed medicines are guided by Ayurvedic physicians, while the stay’s dietary component plays an important role in the overall treatment experience. 

Nutrition is an integral part of the Ayurvedic experience at SreeChithra Ayurhome. The retreat follows a Sattvic dietary approach, offering pure vegetarian meals that complement the principles of Ayurveda and support guests throughout their wellness journey. Food forms an important part of the holistic experience, working alongside prescribed treatments and personalised guidance from the Ayurvedic physicians.

Guests can also explore traditional practices beyond the treatment rooms, with activities such as yoga and meditation, Kalari martial arts and nature walks. A swimming pool, library and landscaped garden areas provide additional spaces for relaxation and quiet reflection. Combining traditional hospitality with a long-standing Ayurvedic heritage, SreeChithra offers a setting for guests seeking a more immersive experience of Kerala’s wellness traditions.

SreeChithra Ayurhome is accredited by the Department of Kerala Tourism in the Diamond category. The team also conducts seminars and workshops internationally, including in Russia, Sweden and Switzerland, to introduce wider audiences to Ayurveda and its traditional healing practices.
