Ayurveda is a traditional form of medicine from the country of India that has been around for 5,000 years. Like traditional Chinese medicine, ayurveda relies on different aspects of the human body to relieve symptoms of sickness through herbs, energy healing, yoga, and massage amongst other treatments.

Ayurveda health retreats are places where a whole range of treatments in traditional ayurvedic medicine are practiced. Like a modern hospital, a health retreat is dedicated to the healing of body, mind, and soul. Here are some of the best ayurveda health retreats in the entire world.
Not surprisingly, our first stop is the country of India. We cannot talk about the best ayurvedic retreats in the world without talking about the first retreat center ever known to have been established, the Keraleeya Ayurveda Samajam located throughout India.
With eight facilities, Samajam offers all types of services from budget to luxury. Whether you go to one of their more urban centers surrounded by trees or a secluded island, you will get nothing but the best yoga, energy therapy, massages, and a full range of educational experiences with Keraleeya Ayurveda Samajam.

The aptly named Ayurveda Retreat is in Coonoor, India, in the south central part of the country. The retreat offers picturesque views of the mountains and valley surrounding the complex and offers a full spectrum of ayurvedic therapies. You can even become a certified ayurveda therapist and yoga instructor on site.
Email the retreat for rates and reservations. For American visitors, you will need a passport to enter India. Relax, read a book, take yoga, and even get married at the Ayurveda Retreat.
