Everything you might want to ask.
The basics.
What should I pack?
Less than you think. Light cotton and linen, something with sleeves for the yoga pavilion in the early morning, swimwear, and a pair of shoes you can slip off at the door. If you're here for a programme, leave room in the bag — you'll go home with oils and tea.
Is there Wi-Fi?
There is — fast, free, and in every room and across the grounds. We won't pretend to hide it from you. That said, most guests find they reach for it less by the second day; the page you came here to close tends to close on its own.
The stay, room to room.
Check-in & check-out times?
Check-in is from 2 pm and check-out is by 11 am. Arriving early or leaving late? Let us know in advance — we'll hold a room or your bags where we can, and there's always a chair by the pool while you wait.
Are children welcome?
Warmly. Children of all ages are welcome, and the Family Room and Family Villa are built for travelling together. For the doubles we can add a child's bed on request. KARE's treatments are designed for adults, but the pool, the garden, and the kitchen don't mind how old you are.
What about airport transfers?
We're about forty to forty-five minutes from Goa's Dabolim (GOI) airport and a little under two hours from Mopa (GOX). Book direct and your airport transfer is complimentary — send us your flight details and we'll have a car waiting.
The direct-booking benefit — what is it exactly?
Booking with us directly is always the best rate — up to 30% off, plus complimentary transfers and a welcome consultation with a KARE doctor. Use "Check availability" on any room, or message us on WhatsApp and we'll take care of it.
The medicine, and how to begin it.
Do I need to know my dosha before I arrive?
Not at all — that's what the consultation is for. Every stay begins with a doctor reading your pulse and asking about your sleep, your work, and the year you've had. You'll leave that first conversation knowing your constitution; you don't need to arrive with it.
How far in advance do programmes need to be booked?
Most multi-day programmes book six to eight weeks ahead, and the November-to-February season fills first. A single therapy or a few nights' stay can often be arranged closer in. If your dates are firm, the earliest word is the safest — message us and we'll tell you honestly what's open.
What’s the difference between Stillness and Panchakarma?
Panchakarma is Ayurveda's classical fourteen-to-twenty-one-day cleanse — doctor-led detoxification, prescribed diet, daily therapies and rest. The Stillness Programme is shorter and gentler, built for an over-worked nervous system: shirodhara, nasya, herbal sleep support and evening yoga nidra. Panchakarma resets the body; Stillness settles the mind.
Can I come just for the accommodation, without a KARE programme?
Yes, always. Plenty of guests come simply to stay — white walls, blue shutters, the pool, and the beach five minutes away. KARE is here if you want it, and every direct booking includes a complimentary 20-minute consultation, but nothing obliges you to book a single treatment.
