STANDARD

Located in Kovalam on the coast of Kerala, Dr. Unni's Agastyaa Heritage Ayurvedic Hospital & Prittwi Resort is just steps away from the famous Lighthouse Beach. Under the leadership of Dr. Unni, the resort combines authentic Ayurvedic medicine with comfortable accommodation in a tranquil, tropical setting. The architecture and furnishings draw on traditional designs and natural materials, creating a harmonious atmosphere for rejuvenation and health. Dr. Unni has dedicated many years to designing the resort with the vision of creating a special place of harmony, tranquility, and natural healing. Here, traditional Ayurvedic philosophy and the healing atmosphere of nature merge into a unique retreat. The resort features tropical gardens, a restaurant with an open dining area, and spaces for yoga and meditation, enhancing the holistic approach of the facility. The main building is wheelchair accessible, and an elevator serves all floors.

Dr. Unni's Agastyaa Heritage Ayurvedic Hospital & Prittwi Resort is nestled amidst the tropical nature of Kerala in southern India, one of the most beautiful regions for authentic Ayurveda treatments. Surrounded by palm trees, rice fields, and the famous backwaters, the resort offers a serene, nature-connected atmosphere that allows both body and mind to relax. Just a few kilometres from the Arabian Sea, the nearest beach is easily accessible, ideal for walks at sunrise or sunset. The surrounding area invites guests to explore the real Kerala with its small villages, traditional temples, and local markets. With its peaceful location and mild climate, the resort is a perfect place for relaxation, detox, and rejuvenation.

At Dr. Unni's, nutrition is at the forefront. According to the philosophy of the hotel, dining should be a delight for all senses. Healthy, balanced, and lovingly prepared. The cuisine is based on South Indian cooking traditions, enhanced with light international influences to cater to the tastes of all guests. Guests booking an Ayurveda therapy receive personalised dietary recommendations to support the effectiveness of their treatments. Dining options include an open garden area or a covered restaurant overlooking the plantations. Festive evenings with music, dance, and specialties from Kerala are held on holidays such as Christmas, New Year's Eve, Onam, or Diwali. On request, private dinners can be arranged in a charming atmosphere, such as on the rooftop terrace or in the garden.

In this resort, all Ayurveda treatments are individually tailored by Dr. Unni based on the personal needs of each guest. There is no standard program; each therapy is customized to your health situation, your dosha (life energy), and your physical and emotional conditions. Following a comprehensive medical consultation, a bespoke treatment plan is created, including daily oil massages, herbal treatments, and herbal preparations made in-house.

Depending on their goals, guests can choose therapies lasting two to four weeks that sustainably balance body, mind, and soul. The effects of a four-week Panchakarma therapy typically last a year. These treatments are particularly effective for chronic conditions, stress, fatigue, skin or metabolic issues, and post-surgical or chemotherapy recovery.

A key component of Ayurvedic healing is rejuvenation (Rasayana), which strengthens the immune system and revitalizes body tissues. All oils and herbal medicines are produced on-site following traditional recipes and under GMP-certified standards (Good Manufacturing Practices).

To support healing processes, the resort offers complementary therapies such as Yoga in the Sivananda tradition, traditional acupuncture led by Dr. Pradeep Antony, and modern PEMF therapy to enhance cell regeneration. For additional comfort, there is a beauty salon with skincare treatments and the renowned Smile Stylers Dental Clinic, which combines high-quality dental care with an Ayurveda holiday.

Many guests report increased energy, improved sleep, and better lab results (e.g., hormone, sugar, and cholesterol levels) after their treatments. Those particularly benefiting are individuals with stress and exhaustion symptoms, post-surgical or chemotherapy recovery, weight management, and chronic pain in the back, neck, or joints. At Dr. Unni's Agastyaa Heritage Ayurvedic Hospital & Prittwi Resort, restoring inner balance is the focus. Ayurveda specifically supports healing on a physical and emotional level when imbalances occur due to lifestyle or stress, intelligently integrating modern medical insights with traditional Ayurvedic medicine.

The experienced team, under Swedish-Indian management, supports 1,000 satisfied guests annually on their journey to better health, inner peace, and renewed life energy.

Ayurveda treatments are also available in-room if needed. The clinic is located right next to the resort.
