OUR HOME
It is our pleasure to invite you to our stunning eco-lodge overlooking the sparkling waters of the Arabian Sea. Nestled amidst 14 acres of pristine jungle hills with panoramic views, this gorgeous sanctuary offers luxury tents & cottages, each with an unadulterated view of the sea, surrounded by native fruit & coconut trees. We invite you to begin each day with the tropical breeze, the tranquil sound of waves on the shore and the beautiful song of exotic birds. Enjoy your freshly plucked coconut or locally-sourced cup of coffee on your private balcony before meandering along the creek to our coconut grove yoga shala. You will have ample time to enjoy our stunning beach, relax by the pool or take in the sunset over the sea. This is your opportunity to retreat from the demands of everyday life and reconnect to the mysteries of the Great Goddess.
EXPLORE
Alongside our stunning location, incredible food, yoga, meditation and sacred practices, we invite you to explore the beautiful sleepy, unspoilt beaches, lush tropical jungle, hidden temples and local community that this unique part of the world offers. Indulge in a guided walk around the hills, join us for a forest bathing experience, take a sunrise dolphin boat trip, visit a spice farm, bliss out to a massage and enjoy a beautiful night with a fire ceremony on our secluded beach. We invite you to LET GO and JUST BE in this exclusive paradise.

Food, nourishment, a little indulgence and a lot of enjoyment is very important for us at Kundalini Rebels. Our carefully crafted menu will nourish & support our practice as we journey through the Chakras (energy centres in the body). We will use local, organic ingredients with selected herbs, vegetables & fruit from our organic garden. We work with local suppliers & fisherman to ensure that all the ingredients are fresh & delicious. Each day you will be served a pre-yoga snack, brunch & dinner, all freshly made. There will be unlimited teas, water and fruit to snack on during the day.
“Who is She? She is your power, your Feminine source. Big Mama. The Goddess. The Great Mystery. The web-weaver. The life force. The first time, the twentieth time you may not recognize her. Or pretend not to hear. As she fills your body with ripples of terror and delight. But when she calls you will know you’ve been called. Then it is up to you to decide if you will answer.”
Lucy H. Pearce
Together we rise, rooted and strong.
“Shakti is the Energy, the Fire, the Power. It's the tingling in your arms and the beating of your heart that reminds you that you're alive. It's the spark in the eye of the person you are gazing at. It is the creative force behind all things.”
Sian Pascale
