The latest resort from the Somatheeram Group for authentic Ayurveda nestled between Indian luxury and tradition, embodying the motto 'luxury but beyond nature'. Offers certified yoga teacher training for 100/200/300/500 hours with a 6-week intensive course available.
Located below the hilltop sister resort Somatheeram Ayurveda Resort, directly on Chowara Beach, is the AyurSoma Ayurveda Royal Retreat. An elevator connects the two hotels, while the third sister resort, Soma Manaltheeram Ayurveda Beach Village, is about 10 minutes away. At AyurSoma, the flagship of the Somatheeram Group, world-renowned and multi-award-winning Ayurveda meets breathtaking scenery. The fusion of Kerala temple and palace architecture in stone and wood is unique, the striking clock tower is visible from afar, and even the sunset here is a luxurious spectacle.
Enjoy sea views while dining in one of the 2 restaurants, one of which is air-conditioned, offering delicious Ayurvedic buffet meals. Dishes are crafted from vegetarian ingredients, beautifully presented and marked according to Dosha. Occasionally, white fish or chicken is added to the menu following medical advice. For guests staying at the hotel, regional and international specialties are also available. Evening cooking demonstrations share the ancient knowledge of the Ayurvedic diet.
The Ayurveda at AyurSoma is accredited by the Kerala government with the Ayur Diamond classification, the highest level of the new Ayurveda accreditation system (formerly Green Leaf). There are 20 treatment rooms on a dedicated floor, some open-air, for top-level Ayurveda treatments. About 12 qualified Ayurveda doctors and a team of approximately 60 therapists, with years of experience, carefully and individually address your needs and ailments. The Ayurveda medicines are mostly produced in-house and are GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice) certified. Additional facilities include an Ayurveda beauty clinic and an Ayurveda shop.
Yoga (Hatha) and meditation take place in 3 yoga halls with sea views, one of which is open-air. Yoga sessions are conducted by experienced yoga experts in groups, with private sessions available if needed. Buddha meditation platform with 360° views of the Arabian Sea.
Quote from the head Ayurveda doctor (2022): "21 days of immunization, revitalization program along with body cleansing therapies such as Panchakarma [...], to recover from radiation therapy and rejuvenate the system. [...] we have excellent Ayurveda medicines available to rebuild the system post-surgery. If [the guest] undergoes our treatments and follow-up medications for 3 to 4 months, a positive recovery and body rebuilding is possible over time."
The oyster-shaped infinity outdoor pool with sea views invites you to swim and relax. The fitness area in the basement is not yet fully open, so an alternative arrangement with some equipment is offered next to the Ayurveda Center. Beach umbrellas, loungers, and towels are available on the beach. Additional facilities include an internet café, a souvenir shop, and a tailor. The range of cultural music and dance performances varies. The hotel is happy to assist with tour and excursion planning.
Each of the 63 rooms (approx. 46-139 sqm) cleverly combines charming antique craftsmanship with modern amenities. Exquisite details and romantic embellishments, special bathtubs from Spain (ideal for Ayurvedic herbal baths), and plenty of wood. Comfortably equipped with bathroom/toilet, ceiling fan, air conditioning, TV, telephone, safe, Wi-Fi, and a balcony or terrace. You can choose from a range of accommodations depending on your needs: Hill View Palace Deluxe rooms (12) with hill views, from Palace Deluxe (35) with stunning sea views. Yuvaraja Royal Junior Suites (3) and Maharaja Royal Suites (8) with separate sleeping and living areas, Dhanwanthari Heritage Deluxe rooms (4), and the traditional Kerala house Dhanwanthari Heritage Pool Villa also with its own Ayurveda treatment area, the latter with 2 bathrooms (1 open) and an infinity pool. 24-hour room service is available.

The trip has met my expectations, although there are some points that are not satisfactory. These include the transportation offered from the hotel to the airport, the description of the hotel as a beach hotel, and the variety of food offered.
