Abhyanga
Abhyanga is the foundational Ayurvedic massage — a synchronised, full-body treatment using warm medicated oil chosen specifically for your dosha — and the therapy most guests experience on their very first day.

How Abhyanga works
Two therapists work in coordinated rhythm, applying long strokes along the direction of the limbs and circular motions over joints, using oil warmed and medicated according to your Prakriti. A typical session runs 45-60 minutes and is usually followed by a short steam or rest period to let the oil absorb fully.

Abhyanga — frequently asked
Is Abhyanga suitable on its own, without a full programme?
Yes — many guests book Abhyanga as a standalone relaxation and circulation-boosting treatment during a short trip.
What oil is used?
Base oils (commonly sesame or coconut) are medicated with herbs chosen for your dosha — Vata types typically get warmer, heavier oils; Pitta types get cooling oils.
Can two people have Abhyanga at the same time?
Yes, most centres run parallel treatment rooms for couples or family members.
