Would you like to try an Ayurvedic cure or relive one in an intimate, heavenly centre? I seriously recommend the Big Banana Island Retreat... I spent three weeks with Geraldine and Deepan for a complete, relaxing and invigorating Ayurvedic cure in a magical riverside centre! What awaits you there? Real physical and psychological rest with yoga/meditation every morning, invigorating meals shared with each other as you discover new flavours, complete treatments in the morning and afternoon, daily professional meetings with your doctor, walks in and around this peaceful, tropical island...just get on the boat! You won't be disappointed 🌞

Whether you seek rest, healing through Ayurveda, learning, personal or spiritual growth, this is a place where you can have an unforgettable experience. From the yoga classes to the fabulous cooking, the opportunities for life guidance, Ayurveda consultations and treatments, the lush gardens, and the comfort of the rooms—every last detail has been carefully thought out to nourish your body, mind, and soul. I am deeply grateful for my time here, which has left me renewed and inspired. I wholeheartedly recommend Big Banana Island Retreat to anyone seeking a transformative and peaceful getaway, and I can’t wait to return one day.

Having already come in 2020, I returned in 2024 again for a 10-day treatment. The place is magical with the 5 bungalows by the water. The birds, the sounds of the temples, the sound of the river, everything is conducive to rest. Yoga classes are given every morning in French and English and aim to relax us. No performance objective. Ayurvedic treatments are given with great kindness by therapists.

What a wonderful place. Geraldine, her husband and the staf are most welcoming. Nice, caring, listening. A magnificent garden, nice rooms, a paradise in a wonderful nature. The ayurvedic treatments are great, the food excellent. Geraldine perfectly knows the insider tips, and will do her best to satisfy her clients. I can only recommend. GO!!

Un week-end hors du temps se termine dans ce petit paradis caché du bruit et du tumulte de la vie. Pour votre corps et votre esprit, rien de mieux qu’une escale à la découverte du yoga et de l’ayurveda, n’hésitez pas! Géraldine et Deepan ne peuvent rendre le séjour plus agréable, quel plaisir et quelle fin de voyage inoubliable! La prochaine fois, je reste tout le mois ! Merci pour tout :)

Salut à tous, Et voilà trois semaines dans le Kerala qui se terminent pour moi. J’ai découvert une Inde plus tranquille, plus sereine, mais tout aussi joyeuse et accueillante. J’ai terminé ma semaine par une retraite Ayurvedic au big banana retreat. j’ai trouvé un petit centre à la taille humaine. Une semaine de cure ayurvédique, et d’initiation au yoga pour bien commencer la journée. Situé le long de la rivière sur une petite île à 40 minutes de Cochin, vous y trouverez un lieu paisible qui vous invite dès son arrivée à la détente. L’équipe sur place est extraordinaire, d’une gentillesse exceptionnelle, à l’écoute de vos besoins que ce soit niveau médecine avec un rendez-vous journalier avec un médecin Ayurvedic, ou plutôt spirituelle ou mental que ce soit avec Géraldine ou Deepan. De quelques jours à trois semaines de cure, je suis sûre que vous y trouverez votre bonheur. Jeune ou moins jeune, il n’y a pas d’âge pour prendre soin de soi. Pour ceux qui ne maîtrise pas trop l’anglais, Géraldine est disponible pour vous mettre en confiance et préparer au mieux votre cure. Namaste 🙏
