Ashwattha
The Ashwattha house and gardens in Kochi, Kerala

The house

A house with many lives

Before it became Ashwattha, this house had already lived through several chapters. Each one left something behind in the walls, the grounds, and the trees.

A house connected to the village

The house was once the residence of the Panchayat President, and part of the everyday life of the village.

The grounds later became home to our grandmother's orchid farm, a quieter chapter shaped by cultivation, patience, and care.

Ashwattha today — the house and gardens as a small Ayurveda wellness stay

Ashwattha begins

In 2025, the space opened as Ashwattha, a small Ayurveda wellness stay for traditional treatment, vegetarian food, and slower days in nature.

Why Ashwattha

A slower kind of care

So much of modern life asks us to stay switched on. Ashwattha was created for people who want to step away from that pace for a while and return to the body, to food, to rest, to nature, and to care that does not feel rushed.

Here, healing is not treated as something separate from the day. It happens through treatment, meals, sleep, quiet surroundings, and the small rituals that help the body and mind settle.

How care happens here

Care for the body, mind, and spirit

At Ashwattha, care is not limited to the treatment room. The body, mind, and spirit are supported through different parts of the stay, from Ayurveda treatments and food to quiet rooms, nature, and daily rhythm.

Body

Ayurveda, food, and treatment

The body is supported through Ayurveda treatments, fresh in-house formulations where prescribed, sattvic food, and gentle routines that encourage rest and recovery.

Mind

Rooms, rhythm, and calm

The mind is supported through quiet rooms, a slower daily rhythm, yoga when suitable, thoughtful design details, and the option to stay connected only when you choose.

Spirit

Nature, legacy, and surroundings

The spirit is supported by the backwaters, garden time, bird watching, slow walks, sunsets, and the legacy of Lata's orchid gardens.
