Dr. Unni's Agastyaa Heritage Ayurvedic Hospital & Prittwi Resort is located in Kovalam on the coast of Kerala, close to the renowned Lighthouse Beach. Under the direction of Dr Unni, the resort combines authentic Ayurvedic healing with comfortable accommodation in peaceful, tropical surroundings. Its architecture and furnishings draw on traditional forms and natural materials, creating a harmonious atmosphere for rest and wellbeing. Over many years, Dr Unni has devoted himself to shaping the resort, guided by a vision of creating a special place for harmony, tranquillity and natural healing. Here, traditional Ayurvedic philosophy meets the restorative atmosphere of nature to create a unique retreat. The resort features tropical gardens, a restaurant with open-air dining, and areas for yoga and meditation, complementing its holistic approach. The main building is wheelchair accessible, and a lift serves every floor.

Opened in 2026, Shrestha Komplex offers a stylish, peaceful retreat where timeless Kerala architecture blends harmoniously with nature and modern comfort. Designed for guests seeking a more spacious, unhurried pace, it creates an intimate and exclusive oasis amid the lively atmosphere of the resort. Exclusive amenities include a private library and yoga studio, reserved solely for Shrestha guests.

You are surrounded by the tropical nature of Kerala in southern India, one of the most beautiful regions for authentic Ayurvedic treatment programmes, with palm trees, rice fields and the famous backwaters all around. The nearest beach is just a short walk away on the Arabian Sea, making it ideal for strolls at sunrise or sunset. Nearby, small villages, traditional temples and local markets offer a chance to discover the real Kerala.

Food takes centre stage at Dr. Unni's. In keeping with the resort’s philosophy, every meal should delight the senses. Dishes are healthy, balanced and prepared with care. The cuisine is rooted in South Indian cooking, with light international influences to suit every guest’s taste. Guests booking an Ayurvedic treatment programme receive personalised dietary recommendations to support the effects of their treatments. Meals are served in the open-air garden area or in the covered restaurant overlooking the plantations. On festive occasions such as Christmas, New Year’s Eve, Onam and Diwali, special evenings feature music, dancing and Kerala delicacies. Private dinners can be arranged on request in an atmospheric setting, such as on the roof terrace or in the garden.

The resort combines modern medicine with traditional Ayurveda and is run by an international Swedish-Indian team that cares for around 1,000 guests each year. Treatments can also be provided in your room on request, and the clinic is right next to the resort. Dr Unni tailors all Ayurvedic treatments to each guest’s individual needs, health and dosha. Following a detailed consultation with the doctor, a bespoke treatment plan is created, featuring daily oil massages, herbal treatments and herbal preparations made in-house. A Panchakarma treatment programme is particularly suitable for chronic conditions, stress, exhaustion, skin or metabolic problems, as well as aftercare following surgery or chemotherapy. One focus is rejuvenation (Rasayana), to strengthen the immune system and revitalise the tissues. All oils and medicines are made on site using traditional formulations and GMP-certified (Good Manufacturing Practices) standards. Other offerings include yoga in the Sivananda tradition, traditional acupuncture (Dr Pradeep Antony) and PEMF therapy to support cell regeneration. A beauty salon and the Smile Stylers dental clinic complete the offering. Many guests report having more energy, sleeping better and seeing improvements in their laboratory results.
