Bethsaida Hermitage Ayurveda Beach Resort

We LOVE Bethsaida!!! Me and my friends come every year to this lovely resort to charge our batteries and every time we are more than satisfied than the last one! Their services and staff is always better, kind, and professional. They pamper you in every aspect of the vacation and we couldn’t be more happy! Thank you again for hosting us, cannot wait to be back next year!

I felt like a queen. What a wonderful experience. The Ayurveda dr, the massages, the yoga classes, the staff, the delicious buffet with unbelievable tasty choices at every meal. I highly recommend you try this paradise.

I have wonderful memories of being in the perfect place to relax be treated with just what one needs and with kindness from the entire management. I would recommend this unforgettable paradise to everyone

We were stuck in India during the Corona Virus. Bethsaida not only let us stay there as long as we need to, we also were their guests. They tried to make our stay as pleasent as possible. For the repatriation, they did the whole administration with all the papers and health statements for us. They then organized the whole transfer and gave us water and food for the journey. I have never been in a hotel, where the guest is beeing treated as good as in Bethsaida. Very beautiful paradies, very well organized, very very kind staff and very caring. I will come back for sure. If you get stuck in a situation like that anywhere, the best that could happen is, you get stuck in Bethsaida!!

Really a home away from home. I stayed 1 week and I would have stayed longer! Beautiful location, a paradise (was my first thought), best service and treatments, I could pamper myself and forget all the rest. Two pools, beautiful garden, the sea, private beach, Ayurvedic food, quiet and peaceful...you don’t want to leave. Would definitely book another stay!

This was the second year I could stay in Bethsaida Hermitage for 2 weeks. Since 2019, now the bathrooms are renovated. The rooms are cosy,most of them has a terrace as well.Cleaning ladies make the rooms daily. All the employees of the hotel are very polite,kind and helpful. They even have a lifeguard at the beach to help the people go in and out to the wavy sea. Perfect place for relaxation,cleansing.

I would like to thank the staff of the Bethsaida resort for a very special holiday. Ayurveda treatments were a new experience for me and I finished with twice the energy and complete elimination of tension and stress. The personalised diets were excellent, the staff was always very kind and all this within premises which are very close to the image of Paradise in my imagination. I would also like to congratulate the creator of the floating mandalas, renewed daily

This was now my 5 Ayurveda Treatment in India and Sri Lanka, and it was my best one. The location is designed with a high aesthetically Taste and the Garden is vast. Even if all rooms are booked, you have never the feeling that there are to many people in Bethsaida. The Staff is good trained and offers a great Service. But best of all was the daily Ayurveda Treatment. It was all the time done with 2 Therapist in 4 Hand style, and even the quiet expensive Therapies like Oilbath, where 5 litres of Herbal Oil are dropped over my body, where done again and again. I can highly recommend Bethsaida Hermitage Ressort.

I came to Bethsaida Hermitage with some understanding of what to expect however my expectations were very low in comparison with what I have experienced here. First of all, the place itself is amazing - so beautiful, green, well taken care of, with a lot of love, very quite, spacious, ocean’s sound takes away all other sounds; secondly, Ayurvedic treatment - it was my first experience and I hope to repeat it regularly, I feel recovered, re-energized, recharged and rejuvenated - as result of great care by the doctor and two therapists who treated me with patience, strength, consideration; thirdly, all people (I can’t call them staff) who work in Bethsaida make you feel home - wherever I go I was met with warm smile and willingness to support: reception, restaurant, swiming pool, beach, just walking in the territory of the hotel I was surrounded by smiles and warmth of people. Special thanks to Arun, Samuel, Goodwin. I also would like to state that this place attracts a lot of interesting guests to come - i was alone there but I got acquainted with very interesting people who comes to Bethsaida many times 4-9 from different part of the world. We had meaningful and inspiring conversations. I very much hope that I will “feel like coming home” to Bethsaida many times to come. Thank you very much ??. Yerkezhan Tabyldiyeva

Warm welcome at the reception, return visit after two years, fantastic again, as last time, beautiful grounds and setting, spacious rooms and bathrooms, very helpful and friendly staff, Ayurvedic treatments were excellent and helped us ease back pain away, food is delicious. We will certainly come back again.

Very good hotel, personal, doctors Shayana and Chitra, very hepl full receptionist Aneeta,Liji,Arun,Shilpa massagers Asha and Bindhu L, room and beach. We got the good service in House keeping,they cleaned our room every day and replaced New amenities.

This is a real oasis where everything pleases the eyes and ears. The territory is large, very well-groomed, beautiful villas are harmoniously scattered among palm trees, there are many ponds with fish and water lilies. The main difference from other Ayurvedic hotels is that the blue and turquoise ocean is visible from almost anywhere and its quiet sound is always heard. A big plus is that the ocean is close, you do not need to go down to it for a long time or take the staires up (as in Sonamtiram). The beach is also protected from both sides by cliffs, so no one will bother you there. A very friendly lifeguard is on duty at the beach, so you can safely swim). Last time I was at Nattica Beach Resort. I liked it there too, but still now I will always return to Bethsida. In Bethsida, the ayurveda session is shorter - 1.5 hours. But this is the best time when the session lasts longer - you get tired. In hotels that are on the plain, like Nattica, the ocean can be seen only by going to the beach. Also in Bethsida, a personal approach to the guests is felt, staff try to call you by name. Yoga classes are held three times a day (6.45, 10 and 17). Depending on the assembled group, the teacher gives a strong or sparing lesson. Also there are beautiful long, very warm pools, because of the two, there are always few people there or nobody). And the main plus of Bethsida is its price, it is much cheaper than other hotels with very high quality!

I'am highly recommend this place for visiting. it's really "feels like coming home". when i arrived i recevied a heartly warm welcome with flowers from beautiful staffs The location on the beach, the landscaping, the pool, the ayurvedic menus, the friendly and helpful staffs, the clean rooms and wonderful view to the ocean makes bethsaida truly paradise the list goes on. it is truly paradise. Love this place.

From October to November 2019 I spend four weeks at the Resort. It was not the first time to come back here to "my Indian family". Each member of the staff is so kind and supporting. Not only the excellent Ayurvedic treatment but also the beautiful nature (like paradise) and the comfortable rooms make me feel to lean back and forget the world outside. The whole atmosphere is incredible! You cannot describe it, you have to feel and experience it yourself. Thank you so much. I hope I will be able to come again soon.

i really liked the service,the qualifications of doctors,the high professionalism of massage therapists and very very good service from the reception staffs.i will recoment this place for people to visit. surely i will be back next year at this paradise.

A highly recommended getaway place from the busy city to relax and rejuvenate. I was really satisfied with the service they provide- the food, the stay and most of all the Ayurveda treatments! Looking forward to visit again!

The place is really exeptional. You can feel the tranquility and good vibes from the everything around. Very good massages and therapies. Food is divided to each dosha and is really good. I like my stay there and I hope that I will be back with my family again.

Have just returned from a heavenly 3-week stay at this wonderful place. Friendly, smiling staff, very helpful and when it comes to Ayurveda: experts! Rethy and Bindhu were my fairylike therapists who revived my tired body and lifted my spirits with their kindness and sense of humor. Lovely people everywhere: Freddy, the good soul of the restaurant, Mr Kumar, the multi-gifted artist and Jos, the friendly manager, always helpful with a smile. Not to forget the always positive staff at the reception: Aneeta, Reshma and Alexi! So kind! The room was very clean and my oceanview out of my windows was an inspiration every day! My walks in the beautiful gardens, swimming in the clean pool, and the tasty ayurvedic food made me happy and very healthy again. Absolutely recommendable ??????

I have never seen so good ayrvedic resort bethsaida HERMITAGE. BEST STAFF BEST food and best reception staff including eveeybody. The tratment is so enjoyable.. You're relaxeing in tratment. So tasty food

This place REALLY is paradise on earth. There is such a positive and smooth energy in the resort that you feel immediately extremely peaceful. People are vey kind, friendly and helpful and always wanting to make you feel best. The therapists are very good and the treatments are real balm to your body and soul. Meals are delicious and plenty of variety, prepared with a lot of attention. A special thanks to Sabine who is taking great care of the guests. I was travelling alone but thanks to Sabine's engagement, I met very interesting people. The resort is very big and you have plenty of space with 2 great swimming pools. Thanks to all the staff for having made my trip so wonderful.

Bethsaida is beyond just a place to stay near the ocean. It is beautiful in every way - from the flower bowl mandalas to each and every person who works there. There is a kindness in each and every interaction. A guest at Bethsaida is treated with reverence and divine loving. My experience was that this became somewhat contagious in that it touched to the part of me that lives from that place and expanded it. The Ayurvedic treatments are done with such care. The therapists checked in to see if I was comfortable or needed anything, providing or adjusting cushioning. The Ayurvedic doctors are professional and caring. A few in our group arrived with some bad viruses from travel and the doctors made frequent visits to their room, adjusting herbal medications as necessary. My friends came through their illnesses quickly and all felt so well cared for. The food is amazing. There are two beautiful pools. There is a very expereinced lifeguard at the beach who watches the surf carefully to keep swimmers safe. Lovely yoga classes are offered three times each day, classes on Ayruveda are offered a few times per week. The front desk happily will arrange transport in to town for shopping. Beyond all of this, Bethsaida runs a Hotel and Hospitality school right on the property. The graduates of which are highly sought after for positions all over the world. Profits from Bethsaida go in to two schools and an orphanage. Of all the places I have reviewed on Trip Advisor this is number one.

Our group of 17 yogis all fell in love with this Hermitage. The setting is embracing, with the large land tract dotted with cottages and apartments, linked with winding pathways under palm trees and tropical vegetation all the way to the secluded beach. The Ayurvedic clinic is staffed with highly qualified and experienced doctors, several trained in Western as well as the Ayurvedic tradition. Never have I received such loving and expert care. It is said that India gives you what you need. Some of us came down with flu-like symptoms after the long flight, and we recovered so quickly with natural medications and massage type treatments. The dining hall offers a generous buffet style spread of dishes in the south India cuisine, yet carefully prepared under three headings of the three Ayurvedic doshas. This makes dining so easy and so delicious once your doctor visit has determined the best diet for your particular healing. The food becomes your medicine, For those not doing the Auryvedic track, there is an array of other dishes including fish, chicken and the best omelettes. Papayas, mangoes, water melons and pineapple, whichever are in seasons, are served every day in sheer luxurious abundance. The dining staff is extraordinarily attentive, helping with carrying your tray to your favorite table overlooking the balmy Malabar coast. The therapists who carry out the particular massages under doctor's supervision are so loving and respectful, and skilled. The garden is tended lovingly by locals, who greet you with enormous smiles. Bethsaida staff recognise and treat each guest as a God or Goddess. That's how it is run. Best of all, the entire healing enterprise supports the local community, raising the standard of living for the village, bringing not only a better lifestyle, but also education and future possibilities. As a yoga teacher, I was so delighted to find the Bethsaida Hermitage. It was also a great honor to discover that we were the first group to come from USA, even though Europeans have been coming for 25 years already.

Omg, I'm just speechless when it comes to describing our experience at Bethsaida. Great way to treat your body and soul, deepen your relationships with your partner if you travel together (like we did). The treatment is very professional. Ayurvedic food was delicious and super healthy. Yoga every morning gave our bodies some energizing. Staff. Doctors and massagists were exceptionally good and caring. Every single staff person at Bethsaida gave me the feeling I was very welcomed there and that I'm loved and will be taken care of. This is a magnificent experience. We'd like to come back next year. Dear Bethsaida, thank you! Namaste.
