Ayurveda is a traditional Indian practice of energizing, healing and rejuvenating the human body. At Somatheeram resort, Ayurveda is practiced with total care and sincerity, amidst tranquil backdrop of nature. Accommodation with all modern amenities, is provided in five categories – some traditional mud-brick cottages with thatched roofs, some made of granite, with beautiful carved wood work inside. There are one, two or four bedroom cottages, which can be rented by groups or individually. The view of the ocean in front, the swaying fronds of palms, the peace and quiet of the vast complex all help to sooth your stressed nerves even before you start your special Ayurvedic treatment!
