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.

You are nestled amidst the lush 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. Just a few kilometres from the Arabian Sea, the nearest beach is easily accessible, perfect for walks at sunrise or sunset. Nearby, small villages, traditional temples, and local markets invite you to discover the real Kerala.

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.

The resort blends modern medicine with traditional Ayurveda, led by an international Swedish-Indian team that annually cares for around 1,000 guests. Treatments are available in-room upon request, with the clinic located right next to the resort. All Ayurveda treatments are personally tailored by Dr. Unni based on individual needs, health conditions, and doshas. Following a comprehensive medical consultation, a customised treatment plan is created, featuring daily oil massages, herbal treatments, and herbal preparations made in-house. A Panchakarma therapy is particularly beneficial for chronic ailments, stress, fatigue, skin or metabolic issues, and post-surgical or chemotherapy recovery. A focus on rejuvenation (Rasayana) aims to boost the immune system and revitalise tissues. All oils and medicines are produced on-site following traditional recipes and GMP-certified standards (Good Manufacturing Practices). Additionally, there is yoga in the Sivananda tradition, traditional acupuncture (Dr. Pradeep Antony), and PEMF therapy for cell regeneration. A beauty salon and the Smile Stylers dental clinic complete the offerings. Many guests report increased energy, improved sleep, and better lab results.
