Kadaltheeram Ayurvedic Beach Resort

Komfort

“Kadal” means sea and “theeram” means shore, and true to its name, Kadaltheeram Ayurvedic Beach Resort enjoys a beautiful setting beside the long sandy beach in the popular seaside resort of Varkala. It is particularly suited to guests who value personal attention and in-depth medical consultations. The team offers an individual, professional and authentic approach. The resort feels like a green oasis in an idyllic location on the Malabar Coast, beside the Arabian Sea, surrounded by the peaceful scenery of cottages, houses and villas. It comprises two stone buildings connected by a gravel path, as well as a large, open pavilion for yoga and meditation. The gravel path and well-kept garden, shaded by palm trees, stretch all the way to the beach. The nearest village is about 500 m away on foot, and Varkala is about 6 km away.

The popular seaside resort of Varkala lies around an hour’s drive north of Trivandrum, in the south-western state of Kerala, a land of rivers, lagoons and tropical rainforests. The influence of European missionaries is still visible today, which helps explain the widespread use of English. Varkala has long been an important Hindu pilgrimage site, and its unique character is reflected in its striking rock formations, rugged cliffs and golden sandy beaches. The town stretches for over 2 km along the cliff path.

The open-air restaurant, with lovely sea views, serves vegetarian Ayurvedic cuisine. The varied Ayurvedic meals are tailored to your dosha type and dietary plan. Herbal teas and juices complement the meals. The restaurant reflects the resort’s commitment to Ayurveda.

The classic Ayurvedic Panchakarma treatment programme at Kadaltheeram centres on authentic Ayurvedic treatments, simple surroundings and warm, attentive service. Under the guidance of Dr Honey, who is on site three times a week, an additional Ayurvedic doctor and a team of trained therapists draw up personalised treatment and dietary plans following a thorough consultation and diagnosis. Meditation and daily morning yoga complete the programme, reflecting the healthy, peaceful way of life practised here.

Free time can be spent strolling along the beach (via a paved path) or walking to Varkala (about 1 hour on foot). Excursions in the surrounding area, for example to the backwaters or an elephant training centre, are also possible (for an additional charge). Shops are close by.
