Our stay at Amara Ayurveda Retreat in Kovalam was truly wonderful. Right from the start, the team showed incredible hospitality—when we arrived a day late, they graciously pushed our stay forward without any extra cost. That level of understanding immediately set the tone for a heartfelt experience. The Ayurvedic therapies were the highlight of our trip. My wife absolutely loved her full-body massage with Gita, who was caring and skilled. I also had a deeply relaxing session with a therapist (a tall gentleman with a mustache) who was equally excellent—both of them made us feel at ease and completely rejuvenated. The saltwater swimming pool was another gem, soothing and refreshing after the treatments. Breakfast was delicious and thoughtfully catered to our preferences. While the traditional South Indian dishes were absolutely authentic and flavorful, the staff happily prepared eggs and omelettes for us as well—something we really appreciated. The serene greenery, warm staff, and the attention to detail in every corner made this retreat more than just a stay—it was a healing experience. We left feeling lighter, refreshed, and deeply grateful. Highly recommended for anyone looking for genuine Ayurveda, peace, and wellness in Kerala. 🌿✨

I loved the Indian breakfasts. When Diljit (the Manager) makes chickpea curry. That was SO GOOD! That was the best chickpea curry I have ever eaten! I also liked the hostel because it has a very clean spacious nice well equpped kitchen on the top floor - the roof floor. So I could go buy fish to the nearby very pittoresque fishmen village called Vizhinjam in the early morning and then I cooked it myself. That was top! I also made myself pancakes! It is so nice to have a nice kitchen. And a fridge. And a cast iron pan! They also have a washing machine, so I could wash my clothes. That was a plus. The female dorm room is not big, but it has a little balcony so it remains airy. The bathroom was super clean. Also bed sheets were clean and nice smelling. The location could not be better as it is 1 min walk to the Kovalam Beach, the main beach. So you can walk there bare feet. The hostel also has a big roof top veranda - a covered space, green - has a shade from nearby tall trees, from there you can see the sea and enjoy the breeze. Birds, crows will come to see if you have some food for them. They are like hostel pets! They almost eat from your hand! It is like a Bird Zoo!
