A former Maharaja’s palace, this is a romantic and uplifting place to undertake a proper two week programme of India’s ancient holistic system of health, Ayurveda. The minimum stay here is two weeks, the time that Kalari Kovilakom say is required for ayurveda treatments to have any real effect. Most people have a ‘panchakarma’, or general ayurvedic rejuvenation programme. The yoga focuses on slow, focused stretches in the Bihar School of Yoga’s Satyananda style.
Located just outside Kovalam, in a quiet location, Surya Samudra is a 22 all suite eco-friendly resort set in expansive tropical gardens . This delightful boutique resort is perched high on top of the cliffs overlooking two almost private white sand beaches.
