The Soma Group was born in 1985 with their first venture, Somatheeram Ayurveda Resort, which was the first of its kind in the world. Located in Trivandrum, Kerala, 9 km south of the famous Kovalam Beach, the resort is a Classified Heritage and Green Leaf Classified Ayurveda Resort.
The Group expanded under the excellent stewardship of Mr. Baby Mathew, Managing Director and Architect of Somatheeram Ayurveda Resort. Mr. Baby Mathew who has been promoting Ayurveda and Tourism both at the national and international level, has played a significant role in making Ayurveda popular in Europe.
The Soma Group owns and operates hotels and resorts across Kerala.
What makes Soma Kerala Palace different from other holiday resorts is its ancient architecture which is recreated using master pieces, about 250 years old, disbanded from their actual site. Classical art forms such as Koodiyattom, Thulall and Padayani, performed by veterans of the art, form a part of the Kalaa Sandhya (Cultural Evening) which was once a means of entertainment for the royalty.
The backdrop of the lilting backwaters and the swaying palms makes the setting picture perfect. It is one place where you will find all your worries ebbing away and your spirits elevating. So take a break from the monotony of daily life to experience Kerala the way it is.
The resort set on an island on the Vembanad Lake, Chempu, Cochin, Kerala, is at a distance of 4 kms from Vaikkom town. Our special boat service brings our guests from the mainland to the resort. The resort is at a distance of 56 kms from the Cochin International Airport and about 150 kms away from the Trivandrum International Airport.
