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.

I arrived there with a cold and the doctors adjusted my daily program according to my symptoms and sensitivities and dealt with everything very nicely. I am very satisfied and recovered.
Hotel
Service
All the staff, whether at reception, in the garden, at the pool, housekeeping etc. were super nice and helpful - exception: the property manager. I find him very unpleasant and ego driven. He plays a role and is not really nice.
