About AyurSoma Ayurveda Retreat

The adults-only AyurSoma Ayurveda Retreat is the newest addition to the Somatheeram Ayurveda Hospitals group, joining the well-known Manaltheeram and Somatheeram beach resorts. Like its sister properties, it offers expert Ayurvedic healing programmes and traditional therapies, but in a more luxurious setting that celebrates Kerala’s local heritage.

The retreat’s palatial-inspired architecture spotlights dark woods, arched doorways and traditional stonework, while interiors are airy and contemporary, with natural materials, floor-to-ceiling windows and neutral tones. The surroundings are just as easy on the eye, thanks to a cocoon of palm-cloaked hills and a prime location on the sun-baked sands of Chowara Beach.

Unsurprisingly, wellness is at the heart of AyurSoma, with personalised Ayurvedic therapies, Panchakarma programmes, and yoga and meditation sessions taking place in sea-view shalas and gardens filled with medicinal plants. Guests can also enjoy the heated outdoor pool, organic cuisine tailored to their dosha (body make-up), and easy access to the temples, cafés and markets of nearby Kovalam.

Wellness at AyurSoma Ayurveda Retreat

The Ayurveda Centre is led by an expert team of 12 Ayurvedic doctors and 60 therapists – many coming from generations of Ayurvedic healing families. Located on a dedicated floor, the centre includes 20 treatment rooms. Treatments use natural herbal medicines and warm therapeutic oils, all personalised according to your individual dosha (constitution). Some can be carried out in guest rooms for the ultimate in relaxation.

Facilities include an Ayurveda hospital, beauty clinic, and an Ayurveda shop. Yoga and meditation take place in two indoor halls or an open-air shala, while a dedicated lecture and seminar space hosts talks and group discussions.

What our customers say

Excellent Ayurveda treatments and choice of food. Staff were excellent and friendly, although there were some staff who were asking for money for their families from solo female guests. I have never experienced this in India as an accompanied female. Hotel and rooms are basic but very comfortable. Water is provided in the room daily. Very noisy when I visited as there was an ExPo event on the beach attracting thousands of visitors for 3 days, music playing until the early hours. With all the work building and then dismantling the noise went on for 7 days. I feel the hotel should have made tour companies aware.
