AyurSoma Ayurveda Royal Retreat in detail

Hotel

AyurSoma Ayurveda Royal Retreat is set directly on Chowara Beach, below its sister resort Somatheeram Ayurveda Resort (see below), which stands on a hill. The two hotels are connected by a lift, while the third sister resort, Soma Manaltheeram Ayurveda Beach Village (see below), is about 10 minutes away. At AyurSoma, known as the flagship of the Somatheeram group, the world-renowned Ayurveda of the Somatheeram family, with its decades of award-winning experience, meets breathtaking surroundings. The fusion of Kerala’s temple and palace architecture, built in stone and wood, is unique. The striking clock tower can be seen from afar, and even sunset feels like a luxurious spectacle.

Food & Drink

With sea views, enjoy flavourful Ayurvedic buffet dishes in one of the two restaurants, one of which is air-conditioned. A variety of delicacies made from vegetarian ingredients are attractively presented and labelled according to dosha. On occasion, white fish or chicken is added to the menu on medical advice. Regional and international specialities are also available to resident guests. Evening cooking demonstrations offer an insight into the ancient wisdom of the Ayurvedic diet.

Health & Cures

The Ayurveda at AyurSoma has been awarded Ayur Diamond by the Government of Kerala, the highest level in the new Ayurveda accreditation system (formerly Green Leaf). There are 20 treatment rooms on a dedicated floor, some open-air, offering Ayurveda treatments to the highest standard. The approximately 12 qualified Ayurveda doctors and team of around 60 therapists bring many years of experience and take a considered, individual approach to your needs and health concerns. The Ayurvedic medicines are largely produced in-house and are GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice) certified. Other facilities include an Ayurveda beauty clinic and an Ayurveda shop.

Yoga

yoga and meditation take place in the three yoga halls, which all have sea views; one is open-air. Experienced yoga teachers lead group sessions, with private lessons recommended where needed. The Buddha meditation platform offers 360° views of the Arabian Sea.

Post-Chemotherapy Therapy

Quote from the chief Ayurveda doctor (2022): "A 21-day immunisation and revitalisation programme combined with body-cleansing treatments such as [...], to recover from radiotherapy and rejuvenate [the] system. [...] We have excellent medicines available in Ayurveda to rebuild the system after surgery. If [the guest] undergoes our treatments and follow-up medicines for 3 to 4 months, positive recovery and rebuilding of the body may be possible over time."

Leisure

The oyster-shaped infinity pool, with its sea views, invites you to swim and unwind. The fitness area in the basement has not yet officially opened, so an alternative arrangement with a few pieces of equipment is available beside the Ayurveda centre. Parasols, sun loungers and beach towels are provided on the beach. Other facilities include an internet café, a souvenir shop and a tailor’s shop. The programme of cultural music and dance performances varies. The hotel will be happy to help you plan tours and excursions.

Choosing to take an Ayurvedic holiday was exactly the right decision for us. The hotel is magically beautiful, and the food at Ayursoma is much better than at Manaltheeram, where we stayed two years ago – although the restaurant at Manaltheeram is lovelier and has more atmosphere. After my husband’s riding accident, yoga and Ayurvedic treatments have helped him feel really well again physically after his rehabilitation, and he is glad he made the trip. Desiree Kovats gave us very good advice beforehand, and everything went to plan. I’ve booked with FIT Reisen many times before, so once again it was a very successful trip! Many thanks.
