Cure Monastery Holistic Wellness Retreat

It was wonderful experience! All was perfect welcome, activities, food, massage ... and cleanest place in india!!! We visited the sanctuary, the tribal village and all the amazing point of view. It is really our best discovery in India

Cure Monastery is a hidden gem. I had the good fortune of spending 5 days there last March. Although I had read good reviews it exceeded my expectations. It is far from the madding crowd and does take time to get there (5 hours by car from Cochin) but is well worth the effort. The staff was wonderful. Sally and Deepthi gave wonderful ayurvedic treatments under the guidance of Dr. Marina Joseph who was kind, caring and generous with her time. Francine prepared food that was simple, nutritious and very delicious. Annie and Pushpi kept my room in good order. Albi gave good suggestions and good company on the very interesting and worthwhile outings in the area. Father Winny was the quiet peaceful presence behind the scenes. I have been to a number of ayurvedic places in Kerala but have found that here more than in any other place the kindness, care and personal attention stand out. This is a very unique and beautiful spot in this Creation and all who live there seem to know that and seem to enjoy sharing it with visitors like myself. I hope to return.

It is the second time I visited Cure Monastery with my friends from Europe. As we found there are a lots to explore around, we chose to stay for a week. We thought that was our best decision. Needless to say how good their services are. Clean and comfortable rooms, traditional home made food, fantastic Ayurveda therapies and Fr.Agustin is a wonderful host etc.. ...but ..but the places around you will explore....come on they are going stay green in your consciousness for ever and ever. Check the photos. It´s quite far to reach, but worth taking the pain. Looking forward to our trip this year.

calm and peaceful environment, excellent food, friendly and approachable caretaker, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay at cure monastery. If you are looking for a place away from the crowd and what to see pristine and unexplored part of Kerala.. Good part of cure monastery is that it has a private dam and an adjacent farm..

We had a group of 5 travelling in Karala and we spent 6 nights at the Cure Monastery. During our stay, we were having 2 treatments per day. Each person was assessed for the appropriate treatment that suited their individual needs. The staff were excellent with the treatments and you were left totally relaxed looking forward to the next bout. The accommodation was very clean and comfortable. All meals were designed to fit in with a healthy way of life. They may not suit all tastes, but you tended to go along with the meals as they were part of the overall health treatments. I do think a longer stay would be more beneficial to your well being and health. All in all our group enjoyed the atmosphere and the countryside surrounding the Monastery.

I had a wonderful stay at this place. I heard about this place from my friend in Germany. She suggested me to go for a two weeks rejuvenation there. I arrived around 10 in the morning by bus and the bus folks were kind enough to stop in front of Cure Monastery. I was greeted and received by Fr. Winny and Dr. Rajesh. They were very helpful during my stay there. The food is simple and nutritious as I was undergoing the rejuvenation. Rooms are very comfortable and neat and the bathrooms are very well maintained. The place is really beautiful and I enjoyed exploring the surroundings. I will highly recommend the place to adventure lovers and for people who are looking for real ayurveda treatments in Kerala.

Hidden between the rain shadow villages of Marayoor and Kanthaloor bordering Kerala and Tamilnadu states along the Chinnar wild life sanctuary is Cure Monastery - a value for money, authentic, ayurvedic wellness retreat. This retreat promoted by the Carmelite Missionaries does not boast of any high class amenities and rooms; however they offer you all that an international traveler expects from a serviced villa during a long stay. One can taste absolutely fine hospitality here, clean and hygienic rooms, well laundered bed linen and spacious bathrooms, hot water from geezers. The food served is always fresh and customized and it is simple and nutritious. If you are undergoing an ayurvedic regimen then the in house doctor would plan the menu for you. And if you are a leisure traveler you also have an option to go for your choices with local flavors. Please remember to mention about your spice quotient. Cure Monastery has a lot to offer to the activity oriented traveler. You can do a half day hiking to the nearby mountain villages and experience the life style of the tribes with disturbing their private life. Trek to the sugar care valley and or follow the sandal wood trails on bicycle and take some sandwiches or buy local fruits as they are plenty of them. This is the only place where apples and plums are grown in Kerala. There are a lot of migratory birds during season, the bulbuls and shrikes are very common. The pond near the tree house has lot fish, try luck of fishing too on a lazy evening. The Chinnar wild life sanctuary is only 30 minutes drive away from here, and there are stunning water falls and small lakes around where you can spend time as family, couple or in groups. The ayruvedic treatments are authentic and you need to book in advance to fix your choice of treatment packages in consultation with the ever helpful Dr. Rajesh, a lifestyle guru and yoga practitioner. Over all it is an ideal destination where you can enjoy your holidays as well as take home an lifestyle learning at affordable prices. Truly value for money experience!

First of all thank you Dr. Rajesh & Fr. Shon for the wonderful stay offered for us. Really we enjoyed the stay and food as well . Its always happy to meet the good hearts you both proved it. And as promised we will come to enjoy Cure monastry. The tree top hut is very good and little maintenance needed. The pond and the small hut nearby is really an added advantage for the people who wanted to relax
