Good to know
Ayurveda
This ancient science of offers a natural way to restore your energy, feel revitalised and relax completely, making it an ideal complement to Western conventional medicine.
Digestion, the Immune System and Ayurveda
Ayurveda teaches that 80% of our immune system is located in the digestive tract. Accordingly, the foremost priority when seeking to strengthen the immune system is to support the digestive system. This system is responsible for recognising and processing all substances taken in through food, the respiratory tract and the skin, then either incorporating them to support good health or eliminating them as quickly as possible.
‘Ojas’ and the so-called waste products () also play a crucial role in the immune system. Ojas is the finest substance in the body, formed through the complete digestion and transformation of all substances. Our ‘Ojas’ makes us vital, immune and happy. Ayurveda regards Ojas as the body’s most important immune-strengthening substance.
Waste products, or Ama, form when food or even mental input cannot be fully processed by our digestive system, thereby obstructing our life energy. Ama weakens and burdens the immune system.

The week at Rayasana did me good. The lovely sea view, good treatments and yoga were the main reasons.
Hotel
That’s a difficult one: the location above the sea is fantastic and the little garden is lovely. But there’s room for improvement everywhere: the rooms lack a little care – a broken lampshade and missing coat hangers are just a couple of examples. The overall impression certainly doesn’t match the room rate. The small, family-run hotel is open to the road – which is actually quite amusing, but the bedroom doors let through every sound. All in all, there are too many things that disturb you for this price.
Service
Mixed. Mostly very nice and attentive, but at times verging on unfriendly.
Treatments
The treatments and yoga were excellent, with just a few exceptions!
Food
Difficult! Some of the lunches were really delicious, but others weren’t. Breakfast: unfortunately, no nice bread. And the porridge with warm fruit was sometimes good and sometimes completely boring. At dinner, “good” was unfortunately the exception.
Wellness area
There were only treatment rooms, after all. One or two of them had a lovely view.

Service
They were friendly and helpful.
Treatments
Great massages, good therapist. I’m a masseuse myself.
Food
Everything was good. A little greasy.
Wellness area
It was lovely. The ladders take some getting used to. After that, very lovely and pleasant.
