Big Banana Island Retreat

Would you like to try an Ayurvedic cure or relive one in an intimate, heavenly centre? I seriously recommend the Big Banana Island Retreat... I spent three weeks with Geraldine and Deepan for a complete, relaxing and invigorating Ayurvedic cure in a magical riverside centre! What awaits you there? Real physical and psychological rest with yoga/meditation every morning, invigorating meals shared with each other as you discover new flavours, complete treatments in the morning and afternoon, daily professional meetings with your doctor, walks in and around this peaceful, tropical island...just get on the boat! You won't be disappointed

We highly recommande this beautiful place. The BigBananaIsland Retreat offers a deeply personal and heartfelt experience. The owners Geraldine and Deepan put immense passion into every detail, creating a calming oasis surrounded by a well-maintained garden with serene river views. The dedicated team works with genuine care and attention, ensuring guests feel valued and supported. With experienced medical guidance and a focus on well-being, this retreat combines professionalism with a warm, personal touch. A perfect destination for relaxation and rejuvenation in a nurturing environment.|Manuela und Ralph

I want to start my review with a big thank you to all the people working in this resort. We thank you for the unforgettable days spent in this beautiful place! The experience we have gained in this short period of time has changed us and helped us to look at many things differently. Absolutely everyone in this place has contributed to this journey, including the guests of the resort. In this place you will get a multifaceted experience - yoga, Ayurveda, nutrition, communication with interesting people. At the resort there is an opportunity to get an Ayurvedic massage, which will leave a lot of positive feelings, visit a doctor who will be able to prompt and guide you, he personally helped us a lot) Also yoga classes with a real master of his craft and a man with a big heart, the creator of this place, in which he was so warmly received)There is peace in this place, and the word RELAX sounds like a mantra...

Having already come in 2020, I returned in 2024 again for a 10-day treatment. The place is magical with the 5 bungalows by the water. The birds, the sounds of the temples, the sound of the river, everything is conducive to rest.|Yoga classes are given every morning in French and English and aim to relax us. No performance objective.|Ayurvedic treatments are given with great kindness by therapists.

Great stay ! People were all lovely and very professional too. Ayurvedic of high quality. Yoga course were great too. Geraldine and Deepan are very attentive. The place is beautiful with very clean and charming cottages. Food is very good too. We were also able to swim in the river and to have boat trip in the backwaters. My son played football with children from the nearby village. Many thanks !

What a wonderful place. Geraldine, her husband and the staf are most welcoming. Nice, caring, listening. A magnificent garden, nice rooms, a paradise in a wonderful nature. The ayurvedic treatments are great, the food excellent. Geraldine perfectly knows the insider tips, and will do her best to satisfy her clients. I can only recommend. GO!!
