Plan my retreatWhat is a wellness retreat?
A stay built around a programme rather than a room: consultations, treatments, movement, food and rest, run by the property’s own team over a set number of nights. On this site that ranges from Ayurveda hospitals on the Kerala coast to retreat resorts in the Himalayan foothills and yoga schools in Rishikesh.
How much does a wellness retreat cost?
Programmes on this site start from US$820 per person (Rejuvenation or Body Purification Therapy) and reach US$11,116 per person and more in the top rooms. Every programme page shows its starting price per person and what it includes; your written quote then confirms the exact rate for your dates and room.
How long should a wellness retreat be?
Long enough for the programme to work. Each tradition has a floor — on this site we treat 7 nights as the minimum for Ayurveda (21 recommended) and 7 for a yoga stay (14 recommended). Each programme page lists the lengths the property offers.
When is the best time to go?
It depends on the place, and the best month is not always the sunniest: Kerala’s traditional treatment season is the monsoon, while Rishikesh is at its best in spring and autumn. Our month-by-month planner shows where is at its best in every month.
Can you arrange flights and transfers too?
Yes. Heal & Rest is the wellness travel house of TripClub, so flights, airport transfers and days either side of the programme can be arranged with the stay and itemised in one proposal — or you can book the programme alone.
Do you give medical advice?
No. Heal & Rest is a travel agency, not a clinic. We explain how programmes work and plan the journey; whether a treatment suits you is a decision for your own doctor and the qualified team at the property, who examine you on arrival.
