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. 🌿✨

The River Loom is a fantastic place beautifully set in nature, immediately on a river bank and a stone throw away from the beach. The room was nicely decorated and had everything needed for a short stay. We particularly loved the garden and the terrace with all its beautiful plants! The host and staff are incredibly friendly and helpful! We came as guests and left as friends :-). Absolutely recommendable without reservations!

Ganesh Ayurveda holiday home was a great find. The location was just what we were looking for after 7 weeks travelling around India. A very quiet restful home overlooking the lake. The rooms ( I think 8 in total ) all have balconies with chairs and a table. The staff are very nice, especially Murugan the manager and the cleaning ladies. Breakfast is excellent with coffee or tea, a bowl of fruit, followed by an omelette and toast and jam. There is a very large clean pool which was great to cool off in. Overall I can highly recommend this property if you are looking to relax. Murugan can also arrange tuk tuk to Kovalam. I’d also recommend an early morning walk around the lake…excellent. Murugan can also arrange Ayurveda massages at the property.
