Ayurveda Health Retreat

"My time at the Ayurveda Health Retreat was totally healing and calming. The Panchakarma massage is so special, not to mention hard to find, and everyone was so very skilled and giving. The Ayurvedic consultation was enlightening and so informative, and also gave me the right ingredients for sleep! My meditation session with Ania was a special one and she taught me more ways of meditation based on what I needed. The whole time at the Retreat, including the food made with love, was amazing. Thank you for being there. Namaste, Eden."

"This is one of the best experiences of my life. HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend. The staff is incredible, the food is delicious, the program is full, but not overwhelming, and the rest profound. A much needed reset to my life (after having a baby and running a business) it was a game changer. I feel SO MUCH BETTER. Thank you to everyone at the retreat for taking care of me. I will be back. :)"

"I came here for a 5 day panchakarma and had an amazing experience. I had done a panchakarma in India and researched thoroughly before deciding on this retreat. It is one of the most affordable options in the US and has been around for 20 years. I wanted a more intimate experience as I'm not a fancy resort type of person and this was perfect. Although small, this center operate a tightly run ship but also was able to be flexible with my arrival and departure dates. I felt relaxed the minute I walked in the door. All of the staff are genuinely loving people. I had the best of my massage of my life which is saying a lot because I'm a LMT! The food is made with love and delicious. All of the yoga and breath work classes were different and lovely. I also have to say the town it is in is adorable. There is a lot to do on your time off if you wish - many temples, crystals clear springs and hiking. Gainesville is not far away and has a lot to offer also. I felt at home here and will definitely return for an annual cleanse. The Panchakarma retreat is worth the expense. I feel lighter, happier and free. Thank you AHR team!"

"Had an incredible time spending the holidays here with my family - we left feeling substantially more at peace, healthier, a few pounds lighter, and rejuvenated. The two homes the retreat is based out of are lovely and well-maintained, with comfortable beds and tidy bathrooms and importantly good shower pressure! The yoga studio and kitchen and treatment rooms are all well-equipped, cozy, and beautifully decorated. The food was amazing, healthy and tasty! The quality of the treatment services was excellent, my mom has had long stays in Ayurveda treatments facilities in India and said the services here were as good as or better than the best place she stayed. Overall you can definitely tell that quality is a commitment - everything provided to guests including supplies, food, teaching and staff, and products are extremely high quality and well thought out. The commitment to care here is serious! We also learned so much about Ayurveda, the commitment towards education and explanation of its application to different parts of life was so nice to experience. Alachua itself is cozy and had lovely Christmas decorations on the main street, some cute shops and very friendly people, as well as close access to beautiful nature areas, freshwater springs, state parks etc. nearby, and Gainesville and High Springs just 20 minute drives away too! More than anything though, we were so pleasantly surprised at how amazing the staff and community at Ayurveda Health Retreat were - from the family to the treatment staff to the chefs to the yoga teachers to even others staying at the retreat, everyone was universally kind, caring, compassionate, extremely competent, and incredible. We had so many amazing conversations with so many beautiful people, over meals or during treatments or even just in passing. Everyone was overwhelmingly willing to give and help - even small things like requests or preferences were immediately heard and accommodated to a level we were not expecting. Sharing space and seeing and hearing about the community you guys have built was truly the highlight of our stay. Hope to visit again and again and wishing all the very best to all of you guys and your loved ones!!"

"I highly recommend the Ayurvedic Health Retreat in Alachua for a rejuvenating stay. The serene atmosphere, delightful yoga and meditation sessions, coupled with delectable vegetarian cuisine and personalized spa treatments, create a perfect escape for mind and body wellness. What sets this retreat apart is the warm and caring staff, who not only provide excellent service but also foster a welcoming environment that truly makes you feel at home. The cozy rooms contribute to the overall comfort of the experience. Following a challenging six months, this retreat served as a much-needed reset, offering valuable tools for a great start to the year. Give it a try!"
