Yoga with Vipin became a highlight of our stay. We committed to his 6am class every morning, and seeing the early morning beauty was intoxicating. His classes were understandably popular, and he guided and supported everyone as needed. It was physically invigorating and introduced us to mindfulness. We’ve kept learning and enjoying yoga in everyday life since then. Vipin also cooks at Ganesh, and his selection of dishes is delightful. The meals are beautiful, and the food was so good that people wanted to try another dish. We ate out a few nights, but were very happy to have dinner at Ganesh on the other evenings. Thank you, Vipin, for your warm, gentle, professional approach. The place is lovely, by a lake and looking out over a breathtaking tropical landscape. It’s a warm, welcoming, happy setting where you can catch your breath in a calm environment. The pool was lovely, with comfortable sunbeds. Our room was comfortable too, with plenty of storage, a fridge, and air conditioning. We based our choice of Ganesh Ayurveda Holiday Home on its excellent reviews, and they’re well deserved. Arranging an airport taxi was easy, and Murugan was there to welcome us even though it was early morning. There’s a full Ayurveda experience available, with specialised food and treatments, though how much you take part is your choice. Many people were embracing it, and some loved it enough to return. Lone travellers told us how welcome and safe they felt, and we could see they had support for trips out if they wanted it. My husband and I tried some massages and treatments, the best we’ve ever had. Thank you, Geetha. We also went for walks and often ended up chatting with friendly locals. We enjoyed outings to beaches, palaces, temples, and shopping centres too. Murugan could arrange a tuktuk, taxi, or treatment, answer questions, and was always available. Nothing seemed a problem. Dr Ranjit came to welcome us even though we weren’t on an Ayurveda package. We met Vipin and decided to join his yoga class each morning. The food at Ganesh was excellent, and we were glad to eat there on most evenings. Thank you, Vipin, for the lovely meals and hospitality. Thank you as well to Omana, who cleaned our room and seemed to work all day without stopping, yet still greeted everyone with warm, beautiful smiles. I’m sure it’ll get harder to book as Ganesh grows and more guests return to this special place and its special people. We hope to be among them.

We had an amazing five days and didn’t want to leave. The whole team took such good care of us. The food was incredible, and treatments with Gita were next level. Couldn’t recommend it more.

We came for a week and found a lovely, very quiet and secluded spot near a wetland conservation area. It’s mostly family run. The owner, Mugulan, and the staff were really attentive. Vipin made delicious food from freshly procured organic produce and went out of his way to please everyone. There are lots of treatments available, though we only had massages. The petite masseuse was lovely and attentive to every detail. We understand many guests come back every year. A great place to relax.

Our mornings started with yoga and a sunrise view. The pool was good, surrounded by plants, and the terrace had a lake view. The rooms were neat and clean, and the food was quite nice, served to suit your expectations and preferences. Everyone at the resort was humble and nice. The location was just okay for us since it was a bit away from the beach atmosphere, but an auto takes about 10 minutes to reach lighthouse beach. I had a nice experience there.

I’ve been to Ganesh Ayurveda Holiday Home three times now. It’s my usual place when I arrive in India, and it feels like coming home. Murugan and his son Dr Renjith lead a small, family-run guest house with a friendly, smiley team. Surrounded by a lake, palm trees, and nature, it’s a peaceful place to unwind away from the bustle. The rooms are spacious and comfortable, with a fridge, kettle, AC or non-AC options, and a balcony facing the lake. I always choose AC. The pool is a welcome break from the heat. Ayurveda treatments and packages are available, and I’d recommend a longer stay to get the most out of them. They’re amazing. Murugan can arrange a short tuk tuk ride to the beach, where there are plenty of shops and restaurants. I’ve also walked there in about an hour a few times during the day, because I enjoy seeing locals go about their everyday lives. This place has become really special to me. Nothing is too much trouble, and I’ll be back one day.
