Somatheeram Ayurvedic Health Resort in Detail
Your Ayurveda Resort
The Somatheeram Ayurvedic Health Resort is located on a tropical hillside, interwoven with stairs, direct access to the beach, and a breathtaking panoramic view over the picturesque Malabar Coast. Since its establishment in 1990 as the first Ayurveda resort in India with Western standards, it has been named the best Ayurveda center by the Kerala government ten times and is NABH (Ayurveda Hospital) accredited. Under European-Indian management (owner speaks German) with many returning guests, it is ideal for health-conscious guests who want to experience authentic Ayurveda in its country of origin without compromising on comfort and quality. A haven of peace and relaxation, nestled in a subtropical garden (about 5 hectares), where more than 200 different, sometimes rare, Ayurvedic medicinal plants thrive.

Everything was perfect. The complex with the cottages - the location by the sea (the many steps were a good exercise for the knees) - the food - the doctors - the therapists - the room and garden caretakers - the yoga and pranayama offer - the well-kept pool. The entire staff was friendly and accommodating. I felt very very comfortable!
