Somatheeram Ayurveda Village

There are some experiences that go beyond words—Somatheeram is one of them. Nestled in the sacred, lush coastal beauty of Kerala, this place is not just a resort—it is a sanctuary for the soul. I arrived with the intention of doing Panchakarma, but I am leaving with so much more: a renewed body, a peaceful heart, and a deeper connection to my inner self. From the moment I arrived, I was embraced with warmth, care, and attentiveness that felt deeply genuine. The team at Somatheeram- every doctor, therapist, housekeeper, and staff member—be it at the reception or in the restaurant—offered their service with mindfulness and love. Their dedication went far beyond the expected. Whether it was tailoring meals not listed on the menu (black masala tea/lactose free desserts or gluten free meals) , checking in with sincere concern during treatments. Having previously experienced wellness at renowned places like Henri Chenot, I can honestly say that what Somatheeram offers is on a different level—deeper, purer, and more spiritually aligned. I leave with immense gratitude—for the wisdom of Ayurveda, for the sacredness of India, and most of all, for the extraordinary souls who make Somatheeram so special. Ps special thanks and deepest gratitude to the entire team. I’m thankful to Mr Baby Mathiew and his dear spouse for the flowers and personal call on my birthday. The hospitality is in the DNA of Somatheram; it goes beyond of what was expected. With my deepest thanks, Sholpan

It was a marvellous experience The ayurvedic treatments were exceptional and the doctors took care of me from the first to the last minute of my stay . The swimming pool was with an exceptional panoramic view of the Arabian sea . The front office was extremely helpful aswell as housekeeping the flours in the garden were enchanting.

We stayed for 12 nights in this beautiful little resort and enjoyed every minute. Excellent food (every day a large variety of yuuummiiiee vegetarian food)), great massages (thanks to Ancy), good supervision of the ayurvedic doctors and very relaxing yoga sessions (thank you Sabu for the nice singing-meditation parts!). The resort is in a green garden and on a hill with great views over the arabian sea. We didn‘t go swimming in the sea, but the pool is large and absolutely refreshing. A big thank you to the hotel manager Mr Sujesh and his whole team for taking such good care of us. If we needed a taxi, it was there in 2mins; if we wanted to visit Trivandrum or the backeaters, it was arranged in 5 mins! You all made our stay very enjoyable, many thanks!

This is a unique place where everyone will find peace, distance from the world and relax. Fascinating accommodation, excellent food, unique treatments, helpful, friendly and exceptional staff. We spent here a wonderful time with fantastic service and support given by profesional team.

"Excellent Ayurveda center with a peaceful ambience, skilled doctor, and friendly staff. Highly recommended for anyone seeking authentic Ayurvedic care. A must-visit!"

I loved every minute of my Ayurveda wellness retreat experience at the mother property of Somatheeram in Kovalam . From the pickup service to the warm welcome by the reception desk and the Property manager Sujesh - every individual is caring and extremely helpful in every situation. This property is absolutely beautiful. The way the gardens have been maintained to the idols and statues placed everywhere- you will definitely slow down and look at them and appreciate it. The cottages are spacious and comfortable with decent size bathrooms and plenty of storage space for the guests. The food here is outstanding and based on the prakriti analysis that the doctor prescribes - you can choose from various options and it is actually very tasty and healthy. I really enjoyed my treatments , oil massages , steam bath, milk bath and scrub ! I felt like a queen . The owner Sir Baby Matthews and his family have developed a great relationship with the staff and every guests that visit . I would really encourage you to try this place and you will not regret the decision. Overall, a 5 star experience. Somatheeram is an excellent place for learning about your healthy body, mind and soul . After the treatment, when you go back , try to implement some of the things that the doctors advise to get the maximum benefits for long term as Ayurveda is not to cure a condition but best to prevent it if done correctly under the right supervision. And try to look at all the properties that they have and choose the best for yourself . There’s Ayursoma & Manaltheeram within 5 minutes and they are all beautiful. I can’t wait to go back with my husband and my friends in future . I really enjoyed the yoga and meditation sessions in the morning & I really looked forward to the treatments every afternoon. There’s an Ayurvedic medicine shop in the premises where you can purchase anything that you like. We should definitely go for holidays that are focused on healthy living and healthy eating. Oh and I forgot to mention the swimming pool and the hammocks that were part of the daily routine and I have thoroughly enjoyed myself and going back completely rejuvenated. Thank you to each and every member from the Somatheeram family . You guys are so professional and so caring ! Keep it up .
