A landmark in Ayurvedic wellness, Somatheeram Ayurveda Village commands a prime location atop a hillock overlooking Chowara Beach, blending seamlessly into its lush, tropical surroundings. Upon arrival, guests are greeted with the earthy aroma of natural mud bricks and the vibrant colors of local flora; each thatched cottage tells the story of traditional Kerala architecture, creating an immediate sense of place. The lobby, an inviting hall of tranquility, showcases artifacts reflecting the rich cultural heritage of Kerala, gently setting the mood for rejuvenation. Notable features include the eco-conscious design of the resort, the expansive Ayurvedic spa, and a philosophy that harmonizes man and nature while treating the senses to the rich flora of India. There's an inviting outdoor pool with loungers; serene yoga sessions amidst whispering palm fronds; extensive Ayurvedic dining options offering over 250 flavorful dishes, from delicate dosa to aromatic curries.
