The Nattika Beach Ayurveda Resort

First Class

The Nattika Beach Ayurveda Resort lies around 67 kilometres north of Cochin, right on Nattika Beach, from which it takes its name. Its expansive palm grove, the bungalows nestled among the trees and the miles of sandy beach create an exceptional setting for Ayurveda treatment programmes. At Nattika, European standards and traditional Ayurveda come together in harmony. The resort is NABH-accredited and is particularly well suited to guests who wish to discover India’s distinctive charm in a gentle way while enjoying a professional Ayurveda treatment programme. In 2023, the Indian Green Building Council (IGBC) awarded the resort its IGBC Health & Well-being Platinum certification for sustainable design and its contribution to a healthier environment.

The resort’s Vapika restaurant serves vegetarian buffets tailored to the doshas. All ingredients are organically grown and freshly prepared.

The Ayurveda centre “Swastha” was built in the traditional style. Despite this, the treatment rooms benefit from plenty of fresh air and natural light. The Ayurveda team, comprising experienced Ayurveda doctors and highly trained therapists, takes care to provide authentic, personalised treatments. Holistic Ayurveda treatment programmes are offered both for prevention and to help address existing health conditions. During the initial consultation, the Ayurveda doctor discusses your medical history, carries out the examinations prescribed in Ayurveda and asks about your general state of health. The therapists carry out your personalised treatment plan conscientiously and with care, while the doctors supervise and support you throughout your treatment programme. An interpreter can assist during consultations on request. Yoga sessions to complement your treatment programme take place daily under professional guidance.

The peaceful surroundings are ideal for relaxation. After an Ayurveda massage or yoga session, most guests spend their time reading on a sun lounger by the beach or pool. Cochin’s proximity also makes day trips possible. As Kerala’s oldest colonial port city, Cochin offers plenty to see, including the waterfront in the Fort Cochin district, the Jewish quarter, the famous Chinese fishing nets and St Francis Church, the oldest European-built church in India, where Vasco da Gama was also buried.
