A Unique Relaxation Cure in Kerala

Dreaming of a wellness and relaxation cure? Head to Chowara: a small fishing village in the South of Kerala. Experience an authentic Ayurvedic cure in a specialized establishment; Somatheeram Ayurvedic Village. The first to present the combination of a seaside resort, Ayurveda, and yoga. It is in this southern state of India that you find the best practitioners of this ancient science. Ayurveda is a traditional Indian medicine. It draws its roots from the foundations of Hinduism. This means that everything related to Ayurveda is associated with the knowledge of life and the art of living well.

The Ayurvedic science encompasses personal hygiene, dietetics, massages (using natural oils), physical exercises (yoga), and exercises for mental and emotional control.

Somatheeram Ayurvedic Village is the first Ayurvedic hospital in the world with a "small village" atmosphere. It is the only one in India to have SPA Europe certification. It has no less than 20 doctors and 90 highly qualified and experienced therapists. Cures of 8 days are offered but it is better to opt for a cure of at least two weeks for the treatments to be truly effective. Located on a hill by the beach, the place inspires serenity. Everything is designed for relaxation to be at the heart of your stay, in an idyllic setting. Several types of accommodations are offered to meet all your needs: traditional houses, stone bungalows, and cottages totaling fifty spacious rooms with bathrooms.

During your free time, you can relax, swim (whether at the beach or in the center's large pool), unwind. All while admiring the exceptional panorama, strolling under coconut trees, watching the emerald sea. Pure happiness! You can also walk along the coast and discover fishing villages. Several visits in the surroundings are possible: Thiruvananthapuram, the peaceful capital of Kerala, is only 30 minutes away by transport and offers several activities. Museums, shopping opportunities, zoos, numerous parks. Also nearby are the backwaters of Poovar: you can take a boat or motorboat tour under the shade of palm trees. There are several circuits depending on the type of craft and the duration of the cruise, which take you to the meeting point between the blackwaters and the sea, where the landscape is breathtaking. The Kovalam seaside resort, north of Chowara, is easily accessible by auto-rickshaw (the famous Indian tuk-tuk).

Before your departure, you will undergo an assessment. Dietary and general advice will be given to help sustain the program followed. The benefits of this cure are tangible, both physically and psychologically.

The change of scenery in this sumptuous exotic setting imbued with serenity will also contribute to the well-being felt.
