Description
We are an Ayuryoga retreat located in the tropical paradise of Varkala, Kerala. Our new project is to market our retreats for the reopening of India to international tourists.
We have 7 rooms all with attached bathroom, large yoga shala, Ayurveda massage room and large tropical garden where our restaurant is located.
We are an all female team, from UK, Spain and our staff are local ladies with families to support. We have been running our retreat for 15 years and up until the start of the pandemic we had sufficient business to cover our costs and invest in improvements. However, the last 2 years have been very difficult without international tourists which made up 95% of our market segment. We need to start marketing towards the reopening of India plus at the same time increase domestic tourism business.
