Soma Manaltheeram Ayurveda Beach Village in Detail
Your Ayurveda Resort
Set amidst a sprawling tropical garden, on a scenic hillside overlooking the blue ocean, Soma Manaltheeram Ayurveda Beach Village is surrounded by coconut palms and rice fields. The resort opened its doors in 1992, is NABH (Ayurveda Hospital) accredited, and has twice won the National Tourism Award as the "Best Ayurveda Wellness Center". A narrow paved path leads to the long sandy beach (please consult the lifeguard before swimming at the beach).
Dining & Leisure
Dine under the open sky with a view of the sea at our Ayurveda restaurant, offering up to 250 different vegetarian dishes based on the Doshas Vatha, Pitha, and Kapha. Depending on the doctor's diet plan, non-vegetarian dishes, a variety of salads, fruit juices, and a wide selection of local and international delicacies and seafood are also available. Evening cooking demonstrations share the ancient knowledge of the Ayurveda diet.

My husband and I did a 12-day Ayurveda retreat here. Everything was perfect, starting with the pick-up at the airport and check-in at four in the morning. The resort is beautifully situated on a hill above the beach in the first beach location, for us the most beautifully situated resort of the three Somatheeram houses. Everything is green, well-kept and in bloom. The hammocks and yoga area with sea views are a dream. The bungalows are functional and clean, certainly not luxurious, the bathroom is very basic, but still perfectly adequate. The food in the wonderful restaurant is great, varied vegetarian Ayurvedic cuisine. Everything is delicious and very wholesome. There is even coffee and omelettes for breakfast. The absolute highlight, however, are the treatments and massages over 2 hours that you receive every day. Absolutely relaxing and restorative, you notice how your battery recharges day after day. The friendliness of these people is great, everyone has a smile on their face, from the reception staff to the staff in the restaurant and the Ayurveda center. Many thanks to the whole team! This was certainly not our last stay at the Manaltheeram, we will be back.

My round trip through South India for 5 days was well organized, I was able to gain many impressions. The subsequent Ayurveda retreat at Soma Manaltheeram Ayurveda Beach Village was very relaxing and restful.

The ambience at Soma Manaltheeram was beautiful, the staff helpful and very friendly and the treatments top! The food unfortunately became a bit monotonous after 2 weeks.
