Somatheeram has been awarded and classified many times as „Best Ayurveda Heritage Resort“ and is simply a perfect hideaway with captivating and comfortable surroundings located 21 km south of Trivandrum International airport near famous Kovalam beach in Kerala.
Located in the southern tip of India, Kerala is indeed the handiwork of a Goddess with a green thumb. Therefore Kerala is known as „God’s own country“. It’s green all over with never ending stretches of coconut palms, paddy fields, gum tree plantations, beautifull lakes and rivers streching down as far as 300 kilometers.
The ayurveda doctors of the Somatheeram welcome you
Here at Somatheeram, one of the first Ayurveda resorts, established in 1985, the day breaks calm by the lovely sound of many birds and serene, spreading a bliss of sunshine – ambled along the paved walkways amid the terraced gardens, surrounded by lush green trees and colourfull flowers.
Etheral calm pervades the place at sunset and soft music flows like a fragrance far out in the sea. A thousand lights gleam from the fishing rafts matching the heavens lit by countless stars.
Idle away in a swinging hammock beneath the shady coconut palmtrees or practice Yoga overlocking the endless horizon of the beach 50 meters below the resort packed with fishermen boats. The noontide is cool, the breaze robs the heat away. Bathe in the brilliant morning sun on the beach or board a raft or a catamoran to explore the coast from the sea.

The Somatheeram cottages offered are the most cosy and comfort retreat. The finest features of traditional Kerala architecture make each building a unique piece of art.
