Manaltheeram Ayurveda Beach Village

Nice Manaltheeram Ayurveda information.

this is a magic place, part of the Somatheeram Ayurveda Group managing various properties in Kerala, and pioneer in ayurveda for over 30 years. Nestled on a hill overlooking the beach, accommodation options and top class veg cuisine complete the unique range of treatments covering phisical and mind diseases. experience beyond expectation!!!

This beautiful resort is set in nature overlooking the mighty Arabian Sea, it’s like Heaven on Earth, where health and wellbeing are tended to by wonderful experienced professional staff. Loved every minute there and can highly recommend it to everyone seeking a retreat.

We had the most amazing 2 weeks at Manaltheeram The team looked after us incredibly well and we came away feeling wonderful!The setting is absolutely beautiful,the treatments very professional yet also enjoyable.Super accommodation and all the TLC you require .We will definitely come back soon !

A great place, very friendly staff, familiar atmosphere and professional treatments. Great combination between Ayurveda, medical surveillance and Yoga near the beach. Special thanks to the manager Basil Paul, the yoga teacher Vaisakhan, my therapist Geetha and to Doctor Medona and Doctor Binu.

It's like being in paradise ?The perfect place for me to finish up my (sometimes hectic) travels in India. Here I can calm down, relax and enjoy the Ayurveda treatments and food, Yoga and meditation and of course the beautiful facilities and the beach ?

What a great hideaway......fabulous location and excellent service from friendly helpful staff. Right on the beach cooling sea breeze and perfect location for early meditation and yoga. The food is exceptional cannot fault this resort.

It was a decision tospend my health holidays in Manaltheeram Ayurveda beach village and I must saythat this experience was beyond anything I had expected. The whole ayurveda village has a beautiful and peaceful atmospheredue to the nice setting between the beautiful blue sea and the rich greenerywhere the cottages are located. Manaltheeram Ayurveda village is the sisterconcern of somatheeram ayurveda village.Regarding the treatments,I am extremely happy with the results and had a life changing impact on me. Iwas there for 14 days and did the panchakarma treatments. Now it is a monthlater and I am still doing yoga, living with ayurvedic principles. Manaltheerama peaceful place for holistic wellbeing. Whether it be a long term illness thatyou hope to reverse through a diet or anti stress program, the doctors atManaltheeram treat with an ancient medical system that was born out of 5000years ago. Scientific research is now looking back to ayurveda in the modernlifestyles threatening to cause catastrophe in the western world, especially withautoimmune disease and obesity. Moreover, since all medicine originated inplants it makes sense to heal in a way that is more natural to our systems. Staffs are exemplaryin hospitality and the resort is run well. Because all staff and management areequally excellent at their roles it is hard to pick out favorites. Food isaccording to our doshas, fresh healthy vegan and vegetarian. Restaurant staffsare particularly attentive and there is an ayurvedic doctor at the restaurantto help you with food choices. What made this retreata very special experience were the wonderful people at Manaltheeram. Whether it’sthe management, the waiters in the restaurant, the therapists, thehousekeeping, the doctors, the reception or even in the beauty clinic,They wereall really professional, very attentive and giving you a welcoming feeling. I would like to thank the management and everybody at Manaltheeram for thegreat experience and the unforgettable time I had. I will definitely be backagain.

This is my 12th stay at Manaltheeram Ayurveda Hospital, every time they exceeded my expectations. I select always the same Therapist and Doctors team for my treatments. Here the treatment is very traditional and scientific. Upon arrival, my Doctors have given the first consultation and analysed my health condition by the Ayurveda traditional methods, and the next day itself they analysed my laboratory investigations also to make my process of treatments. Also every day my doctors evaluate my daily conditions and explain my treatments and their process. My lovely therapists, care for me a lot and do the treatments with more care and attention. They use all Personal protective equipment during the treatment, it gives me more confidence on the safety part of the hospital. I came to know this hospital is having the highest accreditation from India Government called "NABH", also they are the National award 2019 winner of India Government. It reflects in every service that offered to me. All these 12 years I am seeing almost the same faces among the staff and patients. Same like me most of the patients are repeaters. The sea is very calming and good to swim, my doctors give advice using such facilities during treatments. So much advice from the doctors on do's and don'ts during my treatments. The place looks like an Ayurveda resort, but it is a serious Ayurveda hospital with a big team of doctors, therapists, nursing assistants, pharmacists, etc. I am totally relieved of all my difficulties which I am suffering due to my work and lifestyle in Europe. Now I am very healthy and happy at all levels. I recommend Ayurveda for all.

This place is a paradise on earth. Everything looks exactly like the pictures. Fairytale views and landscapes. Kindest service and always helpful. Rooms cleaned daily under the watchful eye of the manager. Food ideally suited to dosh. Ayurvedic center and all treatments at the highest level and the care of doctors without discharges. Being in this center a person feels looked after and cared for in every respect from head to toe !!!! I RECOMMEND FROM ALL HEART ??

Beautiful landscape with sea beaches, pool view, wonderful garten and paradise. Welcome greetings and farewell and great coconut drink also flower arrangements. Good breakfast in a pleasant place with Beautiful sea views culture. All staff nice and friendly. Nice Ayurveda massage. But a little strict rule there in health cure. Thanks for the different fruit greeting. Thank you for everything, Thomas Simson and Akhil S. M. and special thanks for the support nice Suite room with sea view and nice garden to relax, Mr. K. Sreenu.

AyurSoma is the latest additon to the Somatheeram Ayurveda centres. We were allocated a really well designed apartment in the new AyurSoma adjacent to to Somatheeram and Manaltheeram along Chowara Beach. This is an authentic Ayurdeva Clinic/Hospital with attendant Doctors and qualified Therapists, coupled with authentic vegetarian cuisine. This was a really memorable experience a we were treated really well by all the staff, the doctors, the therapists, the restaurant staff and front desk. The setting along Chowara Beach is a really tranquil setting and adds to the ambiance, try this place and experience, you will really benefit from this!

We know India well over many years but had never undertaken a rejuvenation week . After a shakey start here we really loved it but you need to know that this is an Ayurvedic centre with rooms rather than an hotel with Ayurveda . So don’t come with expectations of luxury . Rooms are comfortable and very clean . The setting is lovely as is the beach . Housekeeping is outstanding . Cuisine is Ayurvedic bordering on vegan . Treatments are outstanding . My wife loved the yoga and meditation is available . Along with daily treatments , yoga, meditation and talks it’s actually challenging to fit everything in if you want everything ! Explanations could be better on arrival as could treatment scheduling We came for a week but it takes three days to get into it . Come for 10 days or two weeks . A lot of guests were repeaters and a lot of singles . No tv’ s so bring your own entertainment although the live music most nights under the palms is very nice . We will definitely return again for the relaxation value. Ps , laundry service is good value so don’t bring a suitcase of clothes especially as the tailor ( first one on the right as u go up the hill ) is excellent at copying anything u want !

People here arevery helpful at any time and for everything. The cooking at the restaurant is vegan, delicious and various. The accommodation, in small round cottages well aquipped, is top. We'll Come back again, if we can obtain à seaview cottage.

We booked a two weeks full treatment package, which includes 2 hrs Ayurveda treatments a day ( with your personal therapist!), access to three yoga classes a day as well as two meditation classes. And of course full board breakfast, lunch and dinner. Regarding the Ayurveda treatments we are overall very satisfied. Competent doctors and therapists. The food is good, but can be a little bit “too much” of same after two weeks. Food is also based upon Ayurveda concept and you are invited to eat according to your dosha. Yoga and meditation instructors good in instruction, but if you are a professional yogi, the classes can seem to be a bit too structured, with not so much flow. The resort is in a very relaxed spot, just on the beach. All rooms are constructed as small old time fishermen villages/huts. We have enjoyed our stay immensely and are looking forward for a next retreat another year here.

One of my friend recommended me Manaltheeram and I visited this place. Nicely located near the ocean, Had a great treatments, Qualified Doctors and Therapists. First time in my life I had yoga and I felt good. Tasty vegetatian food. Nice mainted cottages. i recommend this place those who are looking for good Ayurvedic treatments.

I came here to India to experience an authentic Ayurvedic resort.Wellbeing Escapes recommended Manaltheeram. It has been an amazing experience.. from its location perched on the hillside over looking the ocean,the vegetarian food is delicious and the treatments excellent.I was on two week detox regime with the daily oversight & care of my Ayurvedic doctor.My time has been made special by the staff team here...everyone is kind and caring. If you are looking for a complete break from our modern world in a simple/rustic setting nestled in the beauty of nature it’s the place for you !

I stayed for 7 days and had an excellent time. Loved the food, and the Ayurvedic treatment ( I did only “rejuvenation”; no treatment for any ailments, since I just came for leisure). There are a pool and a beach to swim aplenty, and although I had a “standard room” l did not miss anything. The property is very clean compared to everything outside it (German eyes may notice smaller slip ups here, but nothing that worried me) and staff are all very friendly and helpful. I think that this is an excellent place for foreign visitors because it is also very safe and guarded. I intend to come back for sure.

Manaltheeram has been the perfect place from day 01 ! The whole resort, all the facilities from the restaurant to the pool and the beach were truly perfect. Manaltheeram is a real ayurvedic resort where I've done a 14 days pancha karma (full body detox). The doctors are extremely professional and highly trained, polite and considerate they'll take you through this path with daily check ups and recommendations. The therapists were also simply perfect. The whole staff was super friendly and professional. I was travelling alone but thanks to them I never felt lonely !! The food is all vegetarian (you can sometimes ask for some white fish if you are craving it!) and the restaurant area is very lovely. It is the perfect place where to switch off and take care of yourself. I have also done some interesting trips in the area. Just ask the reception for recommendations and they'll help you out in any way they can ! Totally recommended and I'll definitely visit again!!

My deepest gratitude to be blessed with the uppertunity þó experience panchakarma with highly skilled Auyrvedic doctors Ajeez and Hamalana and massage therapist Sachidha and Anita. Amose was most helpful with hið exelent service and the staff in the restaurant warmhearted and elegant. We where called the smiling ladies and our smile reflected the beauty of the atmospher on this magical plafá the bach is á beauty.

All was excellent from beach to ayurvedic treatment. Everyone was so helpfull. Ayurvedic food buffet for your dosha types , lovely therapists every day, yoga under the palm trees facing the sea, housekeeping caring for you with extra step fun surprises as flowers or smiles, reception team always available for currency exchange or flight check-inn... the christmas party night was fun with martial arts and Bollywood dancers. A little paradise

Really nice place to recharge and spend time off in Manaltheeram and Somatheeram. Great ayurveda treatments, therapists, healthy vegetarian cousine and service of all kind. Beach is great with big waves.

I had an amazing experience visiting for my Ayurveda treatment. This resort is rated best Ayurveda resort in India and it doesn't disappoint! Right on the beach, you can hear the ocean at night from the cottages. The accommodations and grounds are very clean and the staff is incredibly attentive. Praveen, in housekeeping, Stefi, my massage therapist, and the dining room staff especially made my stay fantastic. The meals are from a buffet of over a dozen choices of dishes each night. Yum! And I still lost weight while here :) This was my first visit to India, and the resort easily organized a few excursions. The resort is walking distance from shops for shopping, as well as some shops on site, and just steps from the beach. I'm coming back!

This was my 4th visit in the space of 3 years - I call it my annual pilgrimage. The grounds of the property are just breathtaking. As soon as you arrive to the resort, you leave busy, and chaotic western life behind, and suddenly everything becomes simple and beautiful. The resort staff cater to your every need - they will go that extra mile, just so you can switch off and relax. During my stay, my friend was due to join me for 1 week, however she was due to stay at the neighbouring property at Somatheeram. The Resort Manager (Aneesh), realised that it would be quite an effort for us to travel from one resort to the other, so without me asking, he moved things around so that my friend could stay at Manaltheeram too. The ayurvedic treatments are fantastic, the therapists and doctors really care for you (there is nothing like it anywhere else). If you are looking to switch off from life, and want somewhere that is good for the mind, body, and soul - then I highly recommend you go to Manaltheeram. It really is Heaven!!

I visited Manaltheeram with my family. One of our children is already a grown-up child and the other one is 17 yr old. We had a reservation through an Indian agency at Somatheeram Ayurvedic Village but when we arrived we were very surprised and disappointed because it seemed really like a hospital. Mainly our children were afraid of it. BUT the general manager offered us their other hotel, Manaltheeram which is closer to the beach and we’ve got 2 super bungalows viewing to the ocean. They and our agent did their best to convince us to stay there. After to decide to stay, they fulfilled all of our extra wishes, the treatments were excellent the vegetarian dishes were very good the staff was very polite and helpful and we felt us excellent. Thank you to convince us to stay there.

This Beach Village is beautiful. The view right on the ocean is spectacular. The Restaurant is fabulous!!! Definitely get a room with some kind of ocean breeze or view. The staff at the Aryuvedic center are diligent. The massage tables need proper bolsters for your legs, and head rests or your head. The technicians giving massage order you around. The massages are not Western in style. . .so its more about lots of Aryuvedic oil, where you need time to absorb. They are treatments. The rooms have safes. My $100 Bose speaker was taken from my room immediately and never returned, despite alerting the manager. One poor maid rushed to assure me she didn’t do it, while the old odd behaving maid who stood around gazing lovingly at us, was too quick to deny anything when I showed her the picture of what I was searching for at which point she shifted from the sweet loving old woman, to a face screwed up in mock denial. I didn’t trust her. The resort simply replied on the last day that they would save it for me if they found it, as if I’d be coming by to pick it up after I leave the country. SOOO, do use the safe. My ipad and my daughter’s computer in the safe were in fact safe, thank GOD. BUT, now I realize that one can’t take anything for granted around there as far as theft goes. The staff were great about attending to housekeeping, laundry, and other services. SO,, it’s a great place. BUT, better warn guests when they check in to use the Safe, and please ferret out who on the staff are stealing from the guests.

My boyfriend and I stayed here for 2 nights during our stay in kovalam. The premises are extremely scenic and beautiful - the property directly looks out onto the beach (a private section which is clean and not too populated.) The grounds here are very picturesque and we were pleased with the setting. The location is a bit out of the way from the main city but you can get to Trivandrum airport within 30 min. Our room was large and clean for the most part - we did see some small spiders and the sheets had some small stains on them though. There are hammocks you can sit on outside the hotel overlooking the beach. The food here is good but expensive. We ate lunch and dinner at the resort and especially enjoyed the paneer makhani and bhindi masala. However we found the prices a bit steep compared to restaurants in the surrounding area. The service - although good - was also extremely slow and it takes a long time to even get your drinks. As you might imagine with an Ayurvedic resort (and with most resorts in Kerala) - there is no alcohol served here. To be honest - we did not come here for the Ayurvedic appeal of the resort, so I cannot speak directly to that aspect. We went for an hour massage and it was very relaxing and thorough - I also found it to be a reasonable price at 1700 rupees. (22 euro) We did attend one of the free meditation sessions (yoga sessions were not included in our package and were an expensive extra charge-800 rupees). This session was great and I really enjoyed it. Upon arriving I noticed that all of the guests were foreign- this resort clearly caters to a tourist clientele that is interested in Ayurvedic medicine. Although that was not of interest to my boyfriend and me, we still enjoyed our stay here and were really taken aback by the surroundings of the place.

My husband and I stayed at Manaltheeram last year at the beginning of the monsoon season. We did the Ayurveda Stress Management package for 02 person for 14 nights. The service was really personalized. You get a consultation twice a day and about 3 hours of different daily massages. The beauty of the place, the sounds of the sea, birds, nature in general make this place a great one to unwind and de stress. The rooms were kept clean and tidy and the cleaning ladies would often leave flowers on the bed. I had Redhika and Lakshmi (gives the best face massages ever!) for my daily treatments and my husband had Thiago and Srikumar. He was a bit shy at first but ended up enjoying the relaxing treatments. There were very attentive staff like Aneesh who would serve tea with the kindest of smiles and Katie at reception and also Vinotikumar who made sure we always enjoyed our meals. I’ll definitely go back if I can but might not have the complete treatments. I’d like to enjoy more time wandering around.

It is one of the most authentic Ayurveda retreat I have heard of or visited. Wonderful mediattauon and yoga at all level. Ayurvedic treatments are phenomenal.. great satvic food and I feel very light, healthy and positive :)! Thanks to the wonderful staff here..

The place is perfectly located, peaceful, at the center of a green and lush nature. The treatments are excellent (Dr and therapists). The food is delicious. And the staff is a bundle of kindness and so professional. I highly recommend this particular place for relaxation, rejuvenation and the deep healing treatments. You are being looked after from your arrival till your departure with attention, love and care. Even the guests are wonderful! I will certainly come back regularly. Thank you so very much for all that you do and offer with your pure intentions at hearts to help people and the planet. Bless you

Recently booked superior cottage for my parents wedding anniversary, right from booking till check out, the service was excellent. Very friendly staff and amazing hospitality and we take this moment to thank each and every staff who had provided us the best services. Thanks for all your efforts. My parents were very happy staying there. The cottage had a sea view which was mind blowing. Overall the stay was a pleasant experience. Communication and response to e-mails were way beyond good. We were glad choosing Soma Manaltheeram!!!

We had originally booked their sister property soma palmshore but got diverted to this property without being informed, apparently as an upgrade. This place is stunning and staff are very friendly however as this is a clinic and very far from everything we weren't happy about being moved without being told - however the next day when we discussed the matter with the staff and said we wanted to go to where we booked - after some initial hassles they sorted it for us and were very helpful. Although we stayed here for only 24 hours, the booking issue aside, this place is breathtakingly stunning and peaceful. if we had wanted to stay for a holistic holiday this would have been perfect but given we wanted a beach holiday close to the local beach and restaurants this wasn't suitable for us. the only reason we went to our original booked property due to this place being so far away from everything - plus our budget would have been blown having to go into kovalam all the time as there's nothing much around the area. for the resort and the staff - 5 stars the fact they didn't bother inform us about moving us to a completely different place - 0 stars! if you're looking for a holistic holiday in a stunning location with super nice staff - this is the place to be. would definitely like to come back on our own terms!

It was a spontaneous decision to spend my birthday in Manaltheeram Ayurvedic village and I must say that this experience was beyond anything I had expected. The whole village has a beautiful and peaceful atmpsphere due to the nice setting between the beautiful blue sea and the rich jungle where the cottages are located. The cottages are well designed and whether you prefer to be more private in the upper garden or in the front row at the beach, they are all great. For the little extra luxury and privacy I absolutly recommend the Kerala house which is located on the other side in a beautiful flower garden overlooking the sea. But what made this retreat a very special experience were the wonderful people at Manaltheeram. Whether its the management, the waiters in the restaurant, the therapists, the housekeeping, the doctors, the reception or even in the beauty salon. They were all really professional, very attentive and giving you a welcoming feeling. Regarding the treatments I can say that I am extremely happy with the results and that they had a life changing impact on me. I was there for 9 days and did the Rejuvenation and Slimming treatments. Now it is a month later and I am still doing yoga, living vegetarian (though I loved to eat meat before) and losing weight without any effort as it does not feel like I am on a diet. My friends tell me about the glow I have and I feel re-energized without feeling hungry at all. So losing weight just comes naturally. And finally after I have been trying for 10 years.,, I want to thank the management and everybody at Manaltheeram for the great birthday and the unforgettable time I had. I will defintely be back again.

Great hotel with incredibly friendly and attentive staff. Very relaxing and beautiful hotel location The doctors and therapists at the Ayurvedic Center are very experienced and the treatments are done professionally and very carefully.

A small paradise far from everyday stress. Yoga and meditation lessons were great. Real Ayurvedic treatment with very nice medical staff. Massages were amazing. Food is vegetarian and really good/tasteful. We would definitely recommend this place if you need rest in a peaceful environment facing the ocean.

I came to Kerala for my dear ayurvedic doctor friend's wedding, who originally wanted to help me try panchakarma at the ayurvedic government hospital where he used to work. However, having been unwell for several weeks before coming to Kerala and culminating in a sickness, I decided that it may be better to be near the sea air to recuperate. Manaltheeram and Somatheeram group had been also recommended to me by a friend who had come at Christmas, as the oldest ayurvedic research resort winning awards. Manaltheeram therefore is a combination of authentic ayurvedic consultations, prescribed herbal medicine to try to treat the root cause of disease or simply to rejuvenate, alongside massage therapies to detoxify. This, coupled with all the comforts of a fine resort, such as traditional Kerala round cottages set on a hill overlooking the wild Arabian sea; amongst gardens with many herbs used in the treatments, makes Manaltheeram a peaceful place for holistic wellbeing. Whether it be a long term illness that you hope to reverse through naturopath or a diet or anti stress program, the doctors at Manaltheeram treat with an ancient medical system that was born out of the sanskrit teachings 5000 years ago. Scientific research is now looking back to ayurveda as antibiotics stop working and modern lifestyles threaten to cause catastrophe in the western world, especially with auto immune disease and obesity. Moreover, since all medicine originated in plants it makes sense to heal in a way that is more natural to our systems. The doctors here decided to focus on two of my main issues of digestion and insomnia with prescriptions for herbal medicines to continue at home. Massage therapy is authentic ayurveda including herbal pouch 4 hand massage and shirodara oil on forehead for insomnia. Monsoon months are considered the perfect time for ayurveda detoxification, as skin pores are open to receive herbal oils, which should be repeated yearly. May is hot and sunny, although humid the sea makes a refreshing breeze that counteracts. Bear in mind that sea in may is too strong to swim, however there is also a 15% discount and Manaltheeram was 100% full with lots of repeat guests. Staff are exemplary in hospitality and the resort is run well. Because all staff and management are equally excellent at their roles it is hard to pick out favourites. Food is according to your dosha, fresh healthy vegan and vegetarian. Restaurant staff are particularly attentive and there is an ayurvedic doctor at the restaurant to help you with food choices. There is a small pool to swim and excursions if you wish to experience some culture. Safety is a priority with guards on attendance and all departments are available 24/7 including the doctor. I chose Manaltheeram as smaller and more intimate than next door Somatheeram but my friend enjoyed Somatheeram equally. We both agreed that this is the perfect group of resorts to travel solo as everyone is so friendly and add some new knowledge and another dimension to the wellbeing you are seeking. This somatheeram group of ayurvedic research resorts are very professional. If you are looking for ayurveda from the source, Manaltheeram in Kerala is the place to come for your wellness holiday.

I suggest this place to everyone who want to relax and have a good time at the beach. Somatheeram group is fantastic. Enjoyed my time here! The people who work here are so kind and the treatment are onjoyable

Despite an initial issue with our booking upon arrival (I will not delve into too much details, but long story short they wanted to move us to another nearby resort because they had given our room to someone else) the rest of our stay was very pleasant. We stayed for 3 days and underwent rejuvenation treatment, which was very soothing and relaxing. Food can be improved. Staff is attentive and cordial, apart from one of the beach staff who was extremely rude on one occasion. The place itself is paradise.

I only had 1 week time to relax but that was still very good. I have been to another Ayurveda retreat 1 year ago that was very close by and this year I chose Manaltheeram, so I have a good comparison. The food at Manaltheeram is just the best I ever had in Kerala. It’s unbelievingly tasty and you can be happy if you are not set on a specific diet and can just take whatever dosha-type-food you like from the amazing buffet. The treatments are ok and the doctors I guess too. I cannot tell about the quality, I had no major problems except sleepiness and need for relaxation, and the consultation starts every day with „sleep good? Toilet good?“ followed by checking your pulse, so I cannot really tell how exceptional that is... The massages were wonderful but I did not like too much the treatment rooms - they are one by one close to each other and rather small with a low ceiling that makes you feel a bit uncomfortable. There are some separated rooms with windows to the sea, but you have to ask to get a treatment in one of those rooms and I am happy that I found out because no one tells you. The service is extremely good and super friendly (in the reception as well as restaurant or other areas on the ground), most staff speak very good English and they help you right away when you only have started with your sentence. I enjoyed a lot the daily yoga classes, I forgot the name of the teacher but he was not only fun but also very good in that what he tought us. I went to the intermediate sessions (5pm), there are also beginners (10am) and advanced (8am). And twice daily a meditation session. The rooms are super clean and very nice, I had a garden view room. They stand quite close to one another, but the garden and everything around is very well looked after. Every night comes someone to smoke out your room so you have no insects in it - worked absolutely fine! One Tipp: make sure to bring a thermos bottle with you, so you can just fill it up with tea or water and carry it around.

This is was such a perfect Ayurveda experience for me and my mum. We both enjoyed two weeks time of ayurveda program. I highly recomend everything what we had oportunity to see. We had two hours treatment everyday and dietary program for Vatha, Kapha, Pita. Food was excelent and the staff the Best. Everybody is helpful, nice and smile every day. You can spend time either at pool or at sea. There is free taxi from/to airport if you run 14days program. Also we did some trips with hotel (Backwaters and trip to Trivadrum with Best taxi driver- Bayju). You can also enjoy yoga and meditation. For me the best ayurveda experience ever!

I go to Manaltheeram every year, and each year my stay gets longer. I stayed 5 weeks this year. Everything is simply perfect. Beautiful and comfortable cottages with amazing sea views, delicious fresh food, excellent Ayurveda clinic with very professional doctors and caring therapists. The treatments will cure you from any ache or pain and you will feel renewed. The yoga classes are among the best classes I've had, and I've practiced all over the world. The yoga masters (especially the 2 Deepus and Arun) will help you improve your practice in no time with their precise guidance and emphasis on proper breathing and alignment. Truly best teachers who sing the mantras with deep beautiful voices. The restaurant manager and staff learn what you like or dislike and will always bring you what you need before you even know you needed it. Amazing. Praveen, the housecleaning manager will always make sure that your room is perfectly clean and will always surprise you with fresh cut flower arrangements. Jijo will organize anything you need, from trips outside the resort to pretty much anything. They just don't do their job, they care. And that makes all the difference and it is what makes me come back each year. Manaltheeram does not feel like just a hotel to me.The entire staff is so attentive and caring that it becomes family.

Nice location close to the beach with sunbed and towel service. Ocean is rough and not easy to swim in. Around 30min by taxi from Trivandrum aiport, free shuttle. Buffet style breakfast, lunch and dinner. Kind and helpful staff. lose to Somatheeram which you can also visit for a swim or lunch/dinner. Kovalam beach is @ 15-20min by tuk-tuk. Panchakarma treatment was nice with daily doctor consult. We had a great stay ??

We had a stopover for five days in here. It was a wonderful relax-time on our roundtrip through southindia. The veg. meals are wonderful (even we both love meat). The staff tries to see every wish in your eyes. In the evening there was always a traditional performance of music or dances. Even when it sounds for european ears different, so it is a good possibility to learn something about this land.

Staying at this resort has been a great experience for us. It not only looked but also felt like paradise. The care of the staff, the Ayurveda treatments, the quality and variety of the food and of course the beautiful accommodation in this stunning location. We hope to be back soon and can only recommend this beautiful resort.

We came for the first time to Somatheeram in March 2016 and stayed now at the second resort of the Soma group, Manaltheeram. Both times we enjoyed our stay very much - the ayurvedic treatments, yoga classes, food, beach are excellent. We would recommend both resorts to anyone seeking a healthy and relaxing vacation!

I stayed in the manatheeram Ayurvedic hospital and research resort for three nights with three of my friends. The resort location is beautiful near the beach, beautiful rooms and cottages. The area is green with beautiful flowers. Great doctors and treatment. Good vegetarian meals, good service. I hope to be here again

Great people, great treatment, great food... everything was just great! The view, the beach were fabulos! The doctors and all the personal were very friendly! Can’t wait to get back next year. Thank you for all!
