Ayurveda
the science of life and longevity of ancient India which led the world in health-and-wellness
Concept of Ayurveda
Ayurveda is the science of life and longevity of ancient India which led the world in health-and-wellness knowledge and practice. It was taught and practiced by sages since time immemorial. Though it was prevalent in India before 3000 years ago, it was perfected into a scientific branch of knowledge with uniform theoretical basis and guidelines for practice about 2000 years ago.
It is a genuine naturalistic system based on the diagnosis of the three humours of the body, viz. vata, pitta and kapha, and treatments aimed at restoring the right balance of these three in the body. It is also based on the theory that man is made of five basic elements, viz. earth, water, fire, air and space.
Kerala and Ayurveda
The high humidity of the atmosphere in Kerala is helpful in the easy absorption of the massaging oils by the body. The natural abundance of medicinal herbs and the perennially salubrious climate combine with the right medicines to work wonders on the human body and mind. Favourable climate and unpolluted atmosphere are key factors in making purification and rejuvenation therapies in Ayurveda really effective, and Kerala has both of these..
Generally, Kerala is considered the only place in India where Ayurveda is practised in its genuine traditional form with total dedication. The natural abundance of medicinal herbs and the perennially salubrious climate combine.

We are a family with two small kids. We stayed at golden sands for a week. The staff is very helpful and nice. The restaurant is fine. The pool is excellent. It is well located, just a few minutes walk from the beach. The route to the beach is dark at night, but other then that it is fine.
Yaron N
My boyfriend and I stayed here for 3 weeks in March on a ground floor room with fan by the pool. The pool was very clean and the location is good so that if you fancy the beach instead this is only a 5 minute walk. Thank you
