Wellness at Amal Tamara

Amal Tamara is one of the leading Ayurvedic hospitals in South India. The focus here is on long-term healing and wellbeing, working from the inside out. Each programme is bespoke to you, with treatments and meals designed around your goals and needs. Programme focuses include stress, skin and orthopedic issues, and anti-ageing. Daily check-ups help monitor progress and keep you on track.

The retreat’s wellness philosophy, Chikitsa Chatushpada, is built around four 'limbs': the physician, the patient, the therapists and the medicine. The belief is that when these elements work in harmony, balance can be restored.

Ahead of your arrival, you’ll complete a detailed wellness assessment, allowing the team to fully prepare for your stay. The guidance you receive will stay with you long after you leave, and your stay includes automatic enrollment into Amal Yatri, the resort’s ‘customer for life’ programme.

The package includes five online follow-up consultations after departure, held monthly, to support and extend the benefits of your treatment.

What our customers say

Feefo logo of 10 years of Proven Trusted Service
We very much enjoyed our stay at Amal Tamara. The whole experience felt very personal starting with the information one gave before arrival, meals planned for each individual according to one's dosha, all of which were delicious. There were daily doctor consultations addressing any issues or problems and all the staff were very friendly and helpful. Our room was very nice with a large balcony overlooking the lake and beautiful gardens. There were daily yoga classes and also other sessions - meditation, cooking, ayurvedic herbs etc. The ayurvedic treatments were excellent. An ideal place if you want an authentic ayurvedic experience.

Dominika at wellbeing escapes made planning my trip really easy. There are so many Ayurvedic places in India but picking somewhere that’s genuine and authentic takes knowledge and experience- which well being escapes have in abundance! This is my second trip organised with them/ both excellent. Now planning my third!
