Ayurveda Garden in Detail

Your Ayurveda Resort

Experience authentic South Indian Ayurveda in Bad Rappenau, a modern spa town nestled between the Odenwald and the Black Forest. Two experienced Ayurveda specialists from Kerala, India, bring centuries-old family knowledge to provide personalised treatments that guide you towards greater balance and well-being. Away from the hustle and bustle, the Ayurveda Garden invites you to recharge in harmony with nature. Three charming, smoke-free hotels are set amidst a natural garden where blooming plants, birdsong, and quiet retreats set the pace. Here, you'll find space for mindful relaxation - whether in the sunlit rest room, sipping herbal tea under the open sky, or in the lovingly decorated guest rooms. The dedicated team cares for you with warmth and a keen sense of individual needs. This personal attention, combined with authentic South Indian healing arts, makes the Ayurveda Garden a special place for a therapy that has a lasting impact.

Location & Surroundings

Peacefully situated and easily accessible. Just ten minutes from the A6 motorway, the Ayurveda Garden awaits you in the midst of the idyllic saline park of Bad Rappenau. The well-maintained park with its ancient trees, walking paths, and graduation tower invites you to enjoy restful moments in the fresh, salty air. Located on the quiet outskirts of the city, the brine and sauna paradise RappSoDie is just about 500 meters away - perfect for additional relaxation between Ayurveda treatments. Shopping facilities, cafes, and the charming city center are within walking distance or just a few minutes by bike.

Dining & Leisure

Delight in three freshly cooked, warm Ayurvedic meals daily, lovingly prepared according to traditional recipes, vegetarian, suitable for all doshas, and balancing for all three doshas. The 2-course lunch is served at your table, while breakfast and dinner are presented as a varied buffet. Coffee and black tea are not offered, but you can look forward to a variety of flavours and regional freshness. Herbs and spices from the hotel's own garden are used, as well as fruits and vegetables from predominantly regional cultivation. Special highlights include show-cooking experiences, an Ayurvedic BBQ in the summer, and live-cooking evenings. In the dining room in the adjacent building - just a few steps away - you can enjoy your meals in a relaxed atmosphere. For your hydration, glass bottles and water dispensers with freshly filtered water are available in the hotel. Additionally, daily from 3:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m., Tea-Time invites you to Ayurvedic snacks and fragrant tea - a perfect moment for a delightful break.

Ayurveda Center

Ayurveda in its purest form - tailored, authentic, and effective. Under the guidance of Dr. Shine, a descendant of an Ayurveda family from Kerala, India, practicing for over 200 years, and yoga instructor Gudrun Samuel, enjoy authentic Ayurveda therapies in a personal atmosphere at the Ayurveda Garden. Together with Dr. Hariraj, also trained in Kerala, the specialists tailor each treatment to your individual needs. The therapy rooms in the Saline 1 hotel are a sanctuary of calm and mindfulness. Here, you experience profound, traditional treatments such as Panchakarma, soothing massages, or the meditative Shirodhara oil forehead flow. To maximize benefits, the specialists recommend no more than one treatment per day - allowing the body time to process the effects. Whether you're new to Ayurveda or an experienced therapy guest, no prior experience is needed; each treatment is compassionately explained and adjusted to your constitution. The therapies are complemented by morning yoga sessions in the spacious yoga room, gently attuning body and mind for the day ahead. A cozy relaxation room invites you to reflect afterwards. Occasional expert lectures and visual presentations deepen your understanding of Ayurvedic healing arts.

Free Time

The expansive, natural garden of the Ayurveda Garden invites you to linger, relax, and recharge with sun loungers, cosy seating areas, and a covered terrace. Enjoy a diverse evening programme several times a week: meditation, Ayurvedic show-cooking, an Ayurvedic BBQ under the stars in summer, and live cooking. For quiet moments, there is a lounge with reading materials and Wi-Fi, as well as a small shop offering Ayurvedic products, incense, and exquisite treasures from India. The surrounding area also offers a variety of activities: explore the parks and the contemplation path, the graduation tower, the water castle, and the Villa Rustica, or visit the local history and salt museum. Wellness and activity enthusiasts will delight in the brine and sauna paradise RappSoDie or a ride on the nostalgic Krebsbachtal railway - diversity and relaxation are closely intertwined here.
