Somatheeram Ayurveda Resort in Detail

Your Ayurveda Resort

The terraced Somatheeram Ayurveda Resort welcomes its guests on a gentle hill with a breathtaking sea view - right next to its sister resort Manaltheeram, just about ten minutes away. Since its opening in 1985, the resort has continuously evolved and is now one of the most prestigious Ayurveda destinations in India. With its NABH accreditation as an Ayurveda Hospital, four-time recognition as "India's Best Ayurvedic Resort" including the coveted "Hall of Fame" honour, and six awards as "Kerala State's Best Ayurvedic Resort", Somatheeram stands for the highest quality and authentic Ayurveda tradition. The fine sandy Chowara Beach is directly below the resort and is easily accessible via stairs or an elevator. Sun loungers, parasols, and beach towels are, of course, available free of charge (please heed the lifeguard's advice before swimming). The elevator also connects the resort with the newest member of the family - the AyurSoma Ayurveda Royal Retreat, which you can reach comfortably and quickly.

Location & Surroundings

Kerala, one of the most popular regions in South India, is renowned for its tropical climate, the extensive sandy beaches of the Malabar Coast, the Backwaters, waterfalls, and nature reserves with abundant wildlife.

Dining & Leisure

With sea view and a diverse Ayurvedic buffet. The vegetarian local and international dishes are marked according to Dosha, allowing you to select according to your dietary plan with the help of a dietary advisor. Guests focusing on weight management receive personalised menus. Evening cooking demonstrations impart the traditional knowledge of Ayurvedic cuisine.

Ayurveda Center

The Ayurveda Center at Somatheeram is housed in two special bungalows, covering approximately 5,250 sqm, and is awarded the "Ayurveda SPA Europe Certificate" and the Ayur Diamond Award from the Department of Tourism Government of Kerala, the highest recognition for authentic Ayurveda (formerly Green Leaf). Equipped with 30 treatment rooms, a sauna, and a steam bath. Professional Ayurveda treatments are supervised by about 15 qualified Ayurveda doctors, specialists in various disciplines, and Ayurvedic therapists. The garden, with over 600 plant species, provides the ingredients for the herbal medicine produced in the on-site Ayurveda pharmacy. The supplementary Ayurvedic medicine is made exclusively from herbal products. Soma Ayurveda Beauty Clinic offers body, face, and hair treatments tailored to your Dosha.

Yoga

For yoga and meditation with an experienced guru, two facilities are available. Group yoga sessions are held three times a day - choose your level (morning: professionals, mid-morning: beginners, afternoon: advanced). Private sessions are also available for approximately €10 (approx. UK £9 / USD $11) per hour.

Post-Chemo Therapy

Quote from the Chief Ayurveda Physician (2022): "21 days of immunization, revitalization program along with body cleansing therapies such as Panchakarma [...], to recover from radiation therapy and rejuvenate [the] system. [...] we have excellent medicines in Ayurveda available to rebuild the system post-surgery. If [the guest] undergoes our treatments and follow-up medications for 3 to 4 months, over time a positive recovery and body rebuilding is possible."

Free Time

Relax in the oyster-shaped outdoor pool (approximately 8 x 17 m) or spend your free time in the Internet cafe, tailor shop, or souvenir shop.

Excellent service in the hotel

Very good Ayurveda resort, but to be avoided on church holidays due to the sound of loudspeakers on the beach

as a couple | 60 to 69 years | 17 - 23 days

We feel very relaxed, also because of the park-like grounds, but the first week was overshadowed by the church festival, as there was no peace and quiet.
