"An excellent retreat "
The treatments were incredible. Some of the best massages I have had. The morning Yoga was restorative and the beach sunset yoga was a lovely experience. I enjoyed the food and everyone working within the retreat was lovely. The rooms are of excellent quality.

"Excellentes Essen und erholsamer Ort"
Das Essen, welches frisch und direkt aus dem Garten zubereitet wurde, war das Hightlight des Ganzen.
Die Massagen waren sehr gut.
Die Sessions am Strand super beim Sonnenuntergang.
Das Haus ist mitten in der Natur. Was schön, aber auch nachteilig ist. Ein wegkommen auf eigene Faust bedeutete meist eine Stunde laufen. Und bei Dunkelheit schwierig.

"Geweldige yoga en aryuveda retreat op relaxte plek "
De routine van vroege yoga, een massage en de intermittent fasten was echt geweldig. Je komt helemaal tot rust op deze prachtige plek. Dr. Patil en zijn team zijn zo ontzettend vriendelijk en doen er alles aan om je verblijf fantastisch te maken. De plek ademt vrede en rust. Ik vond het ook super interessant dat dr. Patil ons kennis bijbracht over yoga, aryuveda en Hinduisme. Ik mis het eten nu al: zo lekker en gezond! Ik kan dit iedereen aanraden!

"Heavenly home stay"
I loved everything about Lotus Nature care. Its out of the way and the perfect place to retreat and check in with yourself. It's a home stay but you have your own privacy. The room was lovely and the view amazing. The food was delicious, and different home cooked meals everyday. Patil is a great guy and will take care of you, and all of his
staff are really amazing. It is a unique yoga getaway, very tranquil, relaxing and the massage treatments are the icing on the cake.

"A week of absolute bliss!"
Everything about our stay was perfect.
The yoga taught us the value of getting the basics stable and improving flexibility. The treatments were absolutely amazing - each time I felt so immensely relaxed (we had daily massages on top of reflexology, steam baths, hot oil, scrubs, face oil… there was so much variety). The therapists were also so kind and sweet!
The food was INSANE! So so delicious - it was vegan and organic, with nothing ultraprocessed in sight. I will dream of that food forever!
They took such good care of us.
I would recommend this to anyone!!

"Excellent immersive Ayurvedic retreat"
The ‘family feel’ was warm and nurturing and, despite my initial reservations as a dabbler in yoga, I could readily access the yoga.
Treatments are amazing and I feel truly grateful for such an experience.
The food is divine and plentiful. Such amazing flavours - I’m inspired to recreate them at home!

Dr. Patil and his wife and entire staff are very accommodating and willing to ferry one to the beach and supermarkets and pharmacies.
For longer distances, they charge a fair amount.
The place was clean, and the treatments were amazing and customized according to your needs.
Location is good. You can walk to the beach and shops if you want to.
The food was delicious.

Es ist eine ganz kleine feine Anlage mit maximal 10 Personen, die Yogastunden sind intensiv und sehr abwechslungsreich. Abends gibt es eine Stunde am Strand , was wirklich toll ist. Die Zimmer sind schön und geraümig mit einem großen Balkon, der in einen schönen Garten mündet. Patil ist ungeheuer hilfsbereit und freundlich.
Die Anwendungen sind intensiv und ganz wunderbar. Dieser Platz ist absolut zu empfehlen 👍👍👍😊

"A secret gem 💞"
Everything from the jungle setting to the kindness of all the staff. I had a double en suite room for my sole occupancy fitted with fan and Aircon, overlooking the garden and yoga platform. Two yoga classes a day plus daily treatments and tasty vegetarian food - what's not to like ?? On arrival day, each guest has a private consultation with Dr Patil in order to make a treatment plan.

I really enjoyed my stay at Lotus Nature Reserve it was above and beyond my expectations. My room was comfortable and I loved sitting out on the balcony listening to the sounds of the jungle. The yoga was very relaxing and I particularly loved the evening sessions watching the sunset at the beach . The package included a daily full body massage and treatment which was amazing.

"A week of mindfulness and kindness "
I went to Lotus Nature Cure on my first yoga retreat with no expectations at all but returned home full of memorable moments.
I spent my week practicing yoga, meeting great people, having ayurvedic treatments and luscious food surrounded by the perfect scenery. I find very hard to pick the highlight because the whole the experience was truly amazing.
Dr Patil, the staff and his family welcomed me and each of the guests with such a kindness always with a smile and making sure we all had a comforting stay.
They surprised with a cake on my birthday, it was a special celebration I won't easily forget.
I am very pleased I choose Lotus Nature Cure and can't wait to come back.

"Sincere thanks to Lotus Nature Cure"
Heartfelt thank you to Dr Patil, Mrs Patil and all the staff at Lotus Nature Cure. My 7 Day Yoga and Wellness Retreat was an amazing experience. Nestled amongst coconut palms and lush vegetation, the Centre is in Orlim peacefully set back from the tourist centres, but close to Varca and other beaches for afternoon visits, facilitated by staff.
My yoga practice and understanding has deepened and renewed, following 7 days of twice daily yoga and philosophy discussions. The 10 massage and wellness treatments, Ayurvedic consultation provided individual, revitalising care. Meals are Ayurvedic, diverse and an opportunity to experience Goan regional cooking.
Accomodation of large room, en-suite, balcony, and safe for valuables, within the complex, which is also a family home, is thoughtfully designed and arranged.
Dr Patil and staff couldn’t be more accommodating to arrange beach visits and trips for guests as required.
Grateful the program was offered in July monsoon season when so many other Centres were closed.
Elizabeth Phelan
from Spain, July 2023
"A wonderful 10 day retreat that I will definitely do again."
The individual massage treatments, delicious food and the staff who would go out of their way to help. The spotlessly clean house. The lemon water every morning before the first yoga class at 6am. Dr. Patil was always available to take us where we wanted to go. He took us to an Organic and Natural Working Spice Farm where we had a tour and a lovely lunch.
Even though it was the rainy season, it didn't bother me as listening to falling rain is a therapy in itself.

The whole experience was simply above and beyond expectations. The Doctor is a lovely and kind man and his family are charming. From the people who cleaned the room, to the great meals prepared and the amazing massages by Manoj and Fatima.
The yoga on the beach is a truly wonderful experience and I never thought I’d get up for 6.30 am yoga, but I did and enjoyed every minute.
This place is a hidden gem. I’m definitely coming back.

J'ai reçu aussi de très bon massages et les repas étaient copieux et diététique.
Le centre est situé à 10mn d'une très belle plage, le Dr Patil conduit matin et après-midi selon les besoins des personnes.

"Exceeded my expectations"
The family/community feel is instant, the diversity amongst the people/ages it attracts, the jungle noises that wake you up for sunrise also send you off to sleep beautifully. It’s away from the main road so you don’t hear traffic. I’m a light sleeper and I’ve never slept so well! Super comfortable beds and hot/cold showers available. The food was cooked and prepared beautifully every breakfast/lunch/dinner. The family are consistently so helpful and attentive! If you’re looking to shut off and develop your strength/mobility/flexibility this is it. Each day I could see and feel my progression. Not to mention the massages. Send you to sleep! The local beach stretches for miles and the sea is warm! Can’t wait to return. I’ll always recommend people. Next time I’ll bring my mum ❤️🙏🏼

"Amazing stay in Goa"
I stayed in this center for 3 weeks, and I am absolutely happy about everything. The accommodation is very clean, calm, and very beautifully located in the jungle. The food is excellent, every day a variety of Indian satvik meals, fruits in the morning. Treatments are special, 90 min. of relaxation, full body massage, different special oils and technicks. I was going to the beach every day, Dr Patil was very helpful driving us with a car there and picking us back. All the time if something was needed everyone was very helpful to arrange. Yoga classes were not very difficult, and interesting, and included pranayama (breathing) and chanting.
The whole place has a wonderfully peaceful atmosphere, perfect for recharging batteries. People are very friendly, we always had a nice conversation during dinner and breakfast.
I had so much more than in the description. I dream about coming back as soon as possible!
Namaste!

"A great and quiet place for Yoga with good food and service"
Dr Patil took very good care of us and helped to cure our bronchitis with Ayurvedic therapies. He also offered rides to the wonderful beaches and held some courses directly at beach. 3 hours of Yoga is a lot and may be too much for beginners the additional treatments were great. A trip to a nearby spice- plant was offered as a free add-on. Who needs a nice fish- dinner for a change can also rely on dr Patil to get a ride to a BEach- restaurant

"Quite clean retreat for gentle yoga"
The accomodation is excellent and very clean - very comfy beds, almost silent rooms ( I slept very well!), housekeeping every other day, and the cleanest yoga shala and mats I've been in anywhere! The massages stimulate rather than relax the body, which was not unpleasant, just not what I expected. They definitely provide the amount of treatments as advertised - there is no trying to squeeze it down or skip out of it! The owner is very kind and the staff are very nice. It is very reasonably priced.

"Great place to quit smoking"
I've been doing yoga for a half year and decided the right way to quit smoking was to find a yoga retreat where I could do yoga twice daily, walk and exercise on the beach, eat great and get daily hot oil massages and relax.
This was perfect. I will be back. The massages and treatments Dr. Patil serves up are unimaginable. The food was great (and healthy). We chose to walk together daily on the beach (great beach nearby, expansive and not crowded), some days as far as 10 km, and then closed out the day with yoga sessions on the beach at dusk/sunset.
If you're looking for a yoga retreat to party, this is not your place. It's quiet, somewhat secluded and more for someone who is looking to relax and be pampered. As an ex-Army guy, I've never had a fitness experience where I was spoiled with awesome, very long massages every day. The massages were amazing, feet, scalp, full body, sometimes with a team working it in sequences.
There's one beach entrance 2300 meters away, very walkable, but Dr. Patil is very open to driving folks to another beach entrance if you give some notice. Magson's gourmet supermarket was a nice spot to pick up a few extra things if you need any incidentals.
I felt incredibly welcome and appreciated. Dr. Patil takes huge pride in everything and it shows. He and others on the staff were not just helpful, but genuinely interested in making sure I had the best experience possible. I truly appreciate their hospitality and consider them friends now.

"Séjour de 4 jours en tant que débutant"
Le personnel de l'établissement se donne corps et âme pour que ses visiteurs apprécient leur séjour. Le propriétaire en fait plus que ce qui est attendu (par exemple: faire des appels en Inde à des compagnies aériennes, reconduire des gens à l'épicerie ou à la banque, etc.).
Le yoga sur la plage est très bien organisé et la vue est à couper le souffle.
Le propriétaire est très généreux de son temps. Il nous a amené faire une randonnée le matin et le jour de notre arrivée, il visitait une plantation d'épices avec les autres visiteurs.
Si les traitements ou massages ne nous convenaient pas, on nous proposait d'autres options afin de répondre à nos besoins.

Dr Patils retreat was amazing! It was my first ever yoga retreat and I loved every aspect. He and his wife and team were all very helpful and kind, everything was very clean and the food was incredible. The yoga was at a good level, not too hard or easy. And we could be driven to the beach every day to spend the afternoon if we chose. Yoga on the beach in the evenings as the sunset was a highlight. I would HIGHLY recommend this to anyone interested.

"Super entspannt und professionell "
Die ruhige Lage im Grünen mit sehr vielen Vogelarten, weg von dem hektischen Treiben. Familiäres Umfeld und Yoga in kleiner Gruppe.
Die Massage Anwendungen waren einfach nur genial und immer mind. 1,5 Stunden lang.
Die Yogastunde war auch eher 1,5 Stunden lang und hatte eine gute Mischung aus Übungen von Atemtechnik, Posen, Dehnübungen und Entspannung. Das Level war angepasst an die Teilnehmer und bot immer auch Herausforderungen, wie etwa den Kopfstand.
Das ayurvedische Essen wurde immer frisch zubereitet und schmeckte mir persönlich sehr gut. Das ganze Team war super freundlich und hilfsbereit.
Da das Center etwa 20 min Fußweg vom Strand entfernt liegt, hat uns Dr. Patil täglich einen shuttleservice angeboten. Daneben bot er auch an uns eine Gewürzplantage zu zeigen oder eine kleine morgendliche Wanderung zu einem Tempel zu machen.
Die Strände in der Umgebung sind eher ruhig und zumindest im November nicht stark frequentiert.

Me and my friends spent unforgettable time in Lotus Nature Cure. We enjoyed everything, treatments and massages were so amazing, relaxing and calming. 2 daily classes of hatha yoga helped us to get in better shape and find inner peace. The food was healthy and delicious, overall place sparkling clean and accommodation very comfortable. One of the highlights was Dr. Patil, his team and their care, we felt like part of the family. Loved view from the balcony, evening talks, time spent on the beach or short trips. Everybody should experience this at least once in a lifetime, you will get much more than what you pay for. We liked it so much that had to return to spend our last days in India at this place. And already planning when coming back :)

The treatments were varied and really professionals. Yoga classes were also varied, with mantras, asanas, meditation and relaxation. The indian ayurvedic meals (breakfast, lunch and dinner) were just amazing, there were more delicious the one from the other :) Rooms were also really confortable, with AC, balcony, towels were changed everyday and blankets every two days, room was cleaned every day !

Great variety in food as well as excellent taste - don't think we ate the same meal twice during the four days.
Got to learn about yoga philosophy more in depth as well - we had the opportunity to talk to a doctor about our respective doshas, or constitution.
All the staff there were very friendly/kind and went out of their way to help if you wanted anything. The massages were very thorough and relaxing.
The yoga sessions were well guided and within our ability range. The classes for us were also small - only 3 students which was good.
Really scenic accommodation - doing yoga in garden each morning was really invigorating!
Overall exceedingly good value for money - would definitely go again.

Lovely location overlooking the forest and near to a beautiful quite beach. Highly recommend!

"Herboren"
De kleinschaligheid, het gast zijn bij Dokter Patil en zijn gezin en staf en daarmee een authentieke Yoga Ayurvedische ervaring te hebben, is wat ik erg fijn vond. De persoonlijke aandacht qua yoga en massages. De invulling van het programma, maar ook de ruimte om je eigen gang te gaan. De service die door dokter Patil geleverd werd. Zeer behulpzaam. Hij bracht ons b.v. elke dag naar het strand. Het eten was daarbij geweldig! Na 10 dagen voel ik me als herboren!

"A Life Changer "
I booked to go to Lotus Nature Cure as I was advised to start yoga by my chiropractor and I was spending a week in India seeing the sights so decided to extend my stay. Yoga early in the morning and on the beach in the evening watching the sunset. I did find the yoga difficult to begin with but with the guidance of Dr Patil
,after 7 day,s I was able to do a headstand. Not bad at 54 years of age! The accommodation was more than I had expected for the price I paid. Air conditioned, private bathroom, very comfy bed and roomy. The food was excellent, I wanted all the recipes, and so healthy. But the reason I headed this the 'Best thing I have ever done' is that I have had plantar fasciitis in both feet for over two years. Very painful walking distances and when I awoke in the mornings – sometimes quite excruciating. I have had numerous treatments over the past two years, including steroid injection, shockwave therapy, exercises, binding my feet, acupuncture and others. When I arrived I had a consultation with Dr Patil and we discussed my heel pain. He discovered that my calf muscles were extremely knotted and after a week of them being massaged, that is probably putting it in very layman’s terms, they are completely free of pain It is fantastic and I am so pleased I went to this retreat. I have been given a new lease of life and love the yoga.

I would recommend Lotus Natur Cure to anyone who is looking for a few days off everything. A truly back-to-the-roots experience. Even if you do not want to do yoga everyday, you will want to... Also recommandable to absolute beginners like me

I couldn't have asked for a more restful, nourishing and caring environment to experience a few days of self care. This is a very authentic personal experience being a guest within a compound where the family is also living with a small group of people. I thoroughly enjoyed the healthy home cooked meals, yoga twice a day in beautiful natural surroundings and wonderful Ayurveda treatments. I look forward to returning.

Dr. Patil was amazing. He has a great understanding of yoga on and off the mat. He made me feel at home from the second I arrived. The treatments were very relaxing they give you the treatment that most suits your needs. Yoga on the beach as the sunsets was a highlight. It was a great way to end my traveling. He organized a taxi to the airport for me and let me have a very late check out.

Nothing was too much trouble - I was very well looked after by Dr Patil, his family and all the staff there. I joined in with all the yoga even though it was my first time and just did as much as I could - spurred on by the thought of the lovely treatments, which were excellent. The food was amazing, not too spicy and would really like to have some of the recipes. Dr Patil also took us on a hike to visit a temple and to a Spice Farm.

Dr Patil was so welcoming and nothing was too much trouble, he ensured my daughter and I were able to get the most out of our stay with him, his family and his team. The treatments and therapists were excellent. Food was delicious and I have never been a vegan. As a beginner to yoga I noticed such a difference in my flexibility and adaptability to the poses by the end of the week and to watch the sun go down on the beautiful Goan beach was incredible. He took us to the beach every day and we enjoyed a trip to a Spice Plantation and a trek up a mountain (not quite as easy for a woman in her 50s) to spectacular views. Would love to make this a yearly trip.

We arrived as a family of four.
Mother and three grown up children.Mother very keen on yoga,children willing to give it a go,if they had to!
The twice daily yoga sessions were perfect for our ability,pushing us as far as we could achieve,with clear instruction and perfecting our poses.
The food was healthy,plentiful and not highly spiced.
The spa treatments were far superior to anything I have experienced in the past.Strong ,full body massage with hot stone/ exfoliation/steam.
My daughter was too embarrassed to have full body massage but they were happy to spend the same time with back and arm massages,without causing embarrassment to her,followed by steam treatments.
Dr Patil was happy to drop us to the beach and pick us up,in the free time.We could have borrowed bicycles and travelled around.
He could not have been more helpful and caring.

All the family makes you feel like at home, Manish is very friendly and helpful. The room is very good, very comfortable. The place is so quiet amd nice, i was in rainy season, so I cant enjoy the beach, but it is an excelent place. The food really good, I've never try so tasty vegan food.

"Wondeful yoga retreat"
This was a small retreat which I liked very much. Dr Patil teaches a very nice Hatha yoga class along with pranayama breathing, with variations each day. The morning class was outside the retreat house on a platform surrrounded by trees with birds singing. The evening yoga was held on the beach, with the surf crashing and a nice breeze - very welcome in April with the high temps and humidity. I believe the meals were Ayurvedic ( vegetarian) and very tasty. Each meal began iwith a generous bowl of local seasonal fruits. A highlight was the three Ayurvedic treatments included in the retreat - avalitley womderful! Mr
Dr Patil and his wife have a lovely yoga practice which they share and they both have kind and generous spirits which add to the experience. I highly reccomended this retreat! Another highlight was a trip to a local spice plantation which was very informative and included a lovely buffet lunch. I defiantly felt my yoga practice grow stronger in my four day retreat at Lotus Nature Cure.

Dr. Patil,is not only very good yoga expert but also very good human being.The way he thought yoga by making things easy and comfortable was recommended.The Staff also provide the same level of comfort during the stay.The food and
everything was just made with so much love and passion. I really learnt the yoga, the ayurvedic treatments and the Veg food. A nice and open wide beach is just 2 kms away from the house and mode of transportation can be walking,by cycle and dropped out by cat. Due to high work life pressure i wanted to take yoga seasion and the way programme is designed will make you leave the place with a calm and peaceful heart. I definitely recommend it - you won't regret your stay there. Preeti

"Unique Immersive Path to Wellness"
One-week back from 7 days at Lotus Nature Cure and I cannot sing its praises highly enough - or wait to return! A group of strangers from all over the world, of varying ages, genders and fitness levels, felt instantly like family. In addition to being great fun, communal meals were healthful, satisfying and delicious. Though I arrived with friends, I would be happy to return unaccompanied, knowing that LNC pulls one into an immediate, sustaining, gentle embrace. Simple rooms were clean and comfortable - hot water, good beds, air conditioning, with lovely jungle views and serenading birds. Group Hatha Yoga classes geared to all levels were conducted skillfully by the doctor, with more advanced and challenging classes taught by his wife. The individually prescribed treatments lasted a luxurious 90-minutes and were the best I’ve ever experienced. Special kudos to the yoga practice at sunset on a nearby, world-class beach, offering clean, warm ocean, gentle waves and endless walks. Beach shack bars offered lounge chairs and umbrellas, free of charge, and very delicious fresh-fruit drinks. I also thoroughly enjoyed the field trips, including shopping, a Hindi prayer service and a full and exciting day at a Spice Farm. I left with a solid foundation for implementing simple, practical life-style changes to maintain and advance my new-found wellness of body and spirit. A most sincere and humble thank you to the doctor, his family & staff.

Dr Patil, his family and staff were warm and welcoming and very helpful and attentive. The food was delicious and not too heavy. My room, ensuite and balcony were very nice, and very comfortable. Great chillout space upstairs for the guests to relax or for yoga during wet weather. Good WiFi.
The massages and treatments were awesome! I'll definitely return to Lotus Nature Cure in the future.

There is a beach near by which is beautiful and Dr. Patil dropped us there. I travelled from Ireland. All I can say is Dr. Patil is brilliant and his family are so welcoming and nothing is any trouble. I could not recommend it highly enough.

"Exceptional 7 days @ Lotus Nature Cure"
From the moment of pick-up @ airport @ 4am (organised efficiently by Dr. Patil) to my departure 7 days later it was a wonderful experience. My first time doing Yoga so I had no idea to expect. The atmosphere was welcoming, accommodation was basic but everything you needed - cleaned daily with sheets & towels changed - extra if needed. Meals were amazing and I looked forward to them - best vegetarian I have had and if food did not suit all you had to do was speak to Dr. Patil (I did not need this!!). Yoga classes were excellent and I looked forward to them each day - particularly Yoga on the beach when it was not raining. Dr. Patil did not push us beyond our capabilities although you were given encouraged to try different asanas if you could and I found that I because more flexible as the days went by. The massages were amazing - one each day which left me feeling amazing (best massages I have had). An outside Ayurvedic practitioner came and went through some history of Ayurveda and we got a constitution questionnaire to complete to see own Ayurvedic constitution which was extremely useful. Dr. Patil following up on this by taking us through a daily Ayurvedic routine...which we could adopt easily into our daily/weekly routines - I found this extremely beneficial. Dr. Patil took us to the Spice Plantation and also to a Temple and also to the market in Margao. He took us to the beach & ATM's trips! and anywhere we wanted to go. Beach @ Fatrade was beautiful for walks, & Yoga.

It was a very relaxing but challenging (in a good way) four days. Dr. Patel drove us himself to do a few things during the afternoons. He was always willing to answer any questions or help us with anything. Lotus is just a great place to be and I would highly recommend it to friends and family.

In the evenings we could often practise the yoga on the beach, which was very nice. The massages were the best I have ever had! Every day they provided a different massage, depending on your request and/or injuries. The location and house itself were good and easy to find. Nearby the beach so everyday I went to spend some time at the beach. The food was excellent and around the house was jungle which gave a very relaxing ambiance. Thank you so much dr.
