Ojaswi Kalari Centre is a sanctuary dedicated to preserving and sharing the ancient culture of Kerala through Kalaripayattu, traditional Kalari Marma Therapy, wholesome meals, and a peaceful retreat experience. We offer daily Kalaripayattu classes and an extensive selection of Kalari Marma massages and therapeutic treatments, designed to rejuvenate body and mind. Our exclusive boarding options and delicious, locally-inspired and healthy meals make Ojaswi Kalari Centre the ideal destination for those seeking an authentic wellness retreat in the heart of Kerala. It features a traditional Kuzhi Kalari—the sunken arena used for Kalaripayattu practice—alongside three treatment rooms, three private guest rooms, and a cozy kitchen. Modest in size, the space is rich in local character and cultural authenticity. The property is a silent zone, prohibiting use of intoxicants (including cigarettes and alcohol), and provides work desks and chairs in common areas for digital nomads and remote workers.
Abhijith Gurukkal has dedicated his life to Kalaripayattu—not merely as a martial art, but as a profound spiritual journey. A true master of the form, he is also a skilled healer, specializing in the traditional Kalari Marma therapy—a sacred knowledge passed down to him by his revered Guru, Sudhakaran Gurukkal of Calicut. Ojaswi Wellness is his sanctum—a space where he shares the wisdom of Kalaripayattu and guides seekers on a path of healing and transformation, helping them overcome physical and mental afflictions.
Tucked away in a quiet residential neighborhood of Varkala, the property offers a warm, homely charm. Surrounding the property is a lush garden brimming with medicinal plants and vibrant, exotic flowers, radiating serenity and calm. The stillness of the space creates a sense of timelessness, transporting you away from the noise and bustle of everyday life—a true sanctuary for rest and rejuvenation. While deeply peaceful, the property is conveniently located just 1.7 km from Varkala’s bustling North Cliff and about 3 km from the scenic South Cliff. The beach is only a 5-minute drive away, offering easy access to all of Varkala’s highlights—while still allowing you to retreat into the quiet rhythm of rural Kerala.
