Welcome to the Ayurveda Health Retreat & Spa. As our name says, we're focused on three things. Practicing Ayurveda to treat your whole person in a peaceful setting.
One of the premier Florida retreat centers that offer traditional Ayurvedic medicine and panchakarma treatments.
We are located in North Central Florida in the small town of Alachua. There are clear water springs, rivers, and wonderful wooded parks nearby, yet the Retreat is walking distance to the small downtown's center.
Ayurveda is a 5,000-year-old healing tradition from India that teaches us how to enrich our lives by staying in harmony with nature by balancing the doshas vata, pitta and kapha. It is a truly holistic approach to achieving and maintaining wellness.
We offer traditional pancha karma treatments including abhyanga, shirrodhara, and sweda (quick link: Prices). If you're looking for something more specific, we offer a wonderful Ayurvedic weight management jump-start to help you begin your weight loss journey back to a healthy body.
