Perched along Kovalam’s coastline, Somatheeram Ayurveda Village is a sanctuary of holistic healing, blending ancient traditions with modern wellness. Founded in 1985 by visionary entrepreneur Baby Mathew, this retreat pioneered the concept of an “Ayurveda Hospital in a Resort Ambience.” Today, it stands as a global leader in Ayurveda, under the esteemed Somatheeram Ayurveda Group, offering three NABH-accredited Ayurveda Hospitals catering to diverse health needs.
At the heart of Somatheeram’s healing philosophy are its signature Ayurvedic therapies. Panchakarma Therapy deeply detoxifies the body, removing accumulated toxins and restoring balance. Rasayana Therapy focuses on rejuvenation, enhancing vitality and longevity, while Kayakalpa Therapy is designed to slow ageing and boost immunity. Somatheeram also emphasises the mind-body connection through daily yoga and meditation sessions led by seasoned instructors. Supported by holistic healing techniques and certified Ayurveda medicines, every treatment at Somatheeram is a step towards lasting wellbeing.
Somatheeram Ayurveda Village is not just a retreat; it embodies the essence of traditional Ayurveda set amidst the tranquil shores of Kerala. Our commitment lies in offering healing experiences that rejuvenate both body and spirit, ensuring every guest leaves with a renewed sense of wellbeing, health and vitality.
