Krishnendu Ayurveda 3* is located in a quiet, picturesque area of Alappuzha district in Kerala. It has been named the best Ayurvedic hospital in Kerala three times, in recognition of its outstanding standards of treatment and medical care.

Resort Overview

Founded in 1908, the clinic remains a living repository of Ayurvedic wisdom and expertise passed down through four generations. Over the years, it has treated more than 2.5 million patients.

The resort is situated in the quiet village of Chingoli, near Alappuzha (Alleppey), Kerala—an unspoiled, eco-friendly area far from busy tourist routes.

The property offers a range of accommodation options, from budget to premium.

An outdoor swimming pool is available on-site.

The atmosphere is calm, authentic, and meditative—more reminiscent of a wellness sanctuary than a conventional hotel.

Who It’s For

Ideal for: Those seeking authentic, classical Ayurveda rather than a spa-style retreat. Particularly suitable for guests with chronic pain, those looking to lose weight, or recover from burnout.

Not ideal for: Those who prefer lively nightlife, active beach holidays, or are not ready to follow a structured daily routine and strict dietary guidelines.

Krishnendu Ayurveda is not just a holiday in India—it is a return to the roots of true health.
