Going together
What to know before you choose
A solvable problem, and the wrong solution ruins the fortnight for both of you.

The mismatch is extremely common and the houses vary enormously in how well they handle it. At the strictest — no alcohol, no meat, no menu, nothing to do after dark — a companion who is not in treatment will be climbing the walls by day three, and their boredom will become your problem.
The right answer is a house with two kitchens and something outside: one restaurant cooking to prescription and another cooking à la carte, a beach or a town within reach, and a treatment block that does not require both of you to be in it. We will steer you to the houses built this way.
The other right answer is TripClub’s: put the leisure either side rather than during. Four days of the country before the programme starts, with both of you, and then a fortnight where one of you is working and the other has a plan. It works far better than trying to interleave the two.

Houses suited to this kind of journey
Programme approaches
The traditions that address it
Ayurveda
The coastal houses with a separate à la carte kitchen alongside the Ayurvedic one — real treatment for one of you without imposing it on the other.
The guide
Yoga
Where both of you want something, a yoga week with an optional timetable suits two people at different levels better than any medical programme will.

What to expect
What a programme for this actually does to your fortnight
A good trip starts with realistic expectations — these are the routines you are likely to meet.
- 01
A clear conversation about which parts of the stay each traveller wants, before we prepare the quote.
- 02
A house with a second kitchen, if only one of you is in treatment.
- 03
A room rate for the companion rather than a second programme, which is a substantial saving.
- 04
Excursions arranged for one of you rather than both, with the timing checked against the treatment schedule.
- 05
A recommendation to put the touring either side of the programme rather than in the middle of it.
