With a 104-year legacy rooted in authentic Ayurveda, Sitaram offers two distinct retreats that embody its doctor-led approach to holistic healing. Sitaram Beach Retreat, located along the tranquil shores of Thalikulam, invites guests to unwind to the rhythm of ocean waves in a calming coastal setting. In contrast, Sitaram Mountain Retreat, nestled amid Munnar’s mist-covered tea plantations, provides a peaceful escape into the crisp, cool air of the hills—ideal for deeper solitude and reflection.
Both retreats centre around Panchakarma, Ayurveda’s most intensive detoxification therapy, designed to eliminate toxins and restore balance. Treatments are personalised after a detailed vaidya consultation, supported by in-house herbal formulations for optimum efficacy. Daily yoga and meditation sessions, tailored to individual needs, further deepen the healing journey, in group or private formats. Whether you choose the sea or the mountains, Sitaram ensures an immersive and restorative experience.
Sitaram is the space where you retreat within, reconnect with your true self, and rediscover balance through the timeless wisdom of Ayurveda. It is more than a retreat, it’s a journey of healing, reflection, and transformation, guided by ancient principles that honour the body, mind, and spirit.

What sets Sitaram Retreats apart is their grounding in over a century of Ayurvedic wisdom, reimagined for contemporary seekers. The legacy began in 1921, under the patronage of the then Maharaja of Cochin, with the founding of Sitaram Ayurveda Pharmacy by three visionaries—Sri P. Parameshwara Iyer, Sri TA Gopalakrishna Iyer, and Sri TS Balaram Iyer.
Over the decades, Sitaram evolved into a benchmark of Ayurvedic excellence, with a government-approved R&D centre, over 500 classical formulations, and 480+ clinics and franchisees across India. Today, this legacy is carried forward by the founder’s great-grandson, Dr Vignesh Devraj, through Sitaram Retreats—spaces that merge time-honoured healing with mindful modern living.
The Beach Retreat in Thalikulam, warm and sunlit, is ideal for intense Panchakarma and sea bathing, while the Mountain Retreat in mist-laced Munnar offers cooler climes and forest trails, perfect for emotional healing and weight loss programmes. Both are intentionally designed to bring you close to nature—where silence, simplicity, and the pulse of your own breath become part of the healing process. Meals are customised, aligned with your dosha and recovery plan, and served fresh—never buffet-style—to encourage mindful eating.
Accredited by NABH and honoured with multiple accolades, including recognition from the Ayurveda Hospital Management Association (AHMA), Sitaram Retreats seamlessly combine clinical excellence with heartfelt hospitality. At Sitaram, you are not simply treated—you are guided, educated, and empowered to become a steward of your own wellbeing.
