Our stay at Amara Ayurveda Retreat in Kovalam was truly wonderful. Right from the start, the team showed incredible hospitality—when we arrived a day late, they graciously pushed our stay forward without any extra cost. That level of understanding immediately set the tone for a heartfelt experience. The Ayurvedic therapies were the highlight of our trip. My wife absolutely loved her full-body massage with Gita, who was caring and skilled. I also had a deeply relaxing session with a therapist (a tall gentleman with a mustache) who was equally excellent—both of them made us feel at ease and completely rejuvenated. The saltwater swimming pool was another gem, soothing and refreshing after the treatments. Breakfast was delicious and thoughtfully catered to our preferences. While the traditional South Indian dishes were absolutely authentic and flavorful, the staff happily prepared eggs and omelettes for us as well—something we really appreciated. The serene greenery, warm staff, and the attention to detail in every corner made this retreat more than just a stay—it was a healing experience. We left feeling lighter, refreshed, and deeply grateful. Highly recommended for anyone looking for genuine Ayurveda, peace, and wellness in Kerala. 🌿✨

Ganesh Ayurveda holiday home was a great find. The location was just what we were looking for after 7 weeks travelling around India. A very quiet restful home overlooking the lake. The rooms ( I think 8 in total ) all have balconies with chairs and a table. The staff are very nice, especially Murugan the manager and the cleaning ladies. Breakfast is excellent with coffee or tea, a bowl of fruit, followed by an omelette and toast and jam. There is a very large clean pool which was great to cool off in. Overall I can highly recommend this property if you are looking to relax. Murugan can also arrange tuk tuk to Kovalam. I’d also recommend an early morning walk around the lake…excellent. Murugan can also arrange Ayurveda massages at the property.

Clean, comfortable room with a balcony and gorgeous sea views. Clean bathroom with plenty of hot water 24 hours. Welcoming reception area. Free, good wifi. Excellent location, just a 5-minute walk to the promenade and beach, and 2-3 minutes walk to the lighthouse. Or a 5-minute walk down to a quiet, secluded beach - that few people seem to find. Wonderful sea view from my balcony, furnished with a comfy chair and a small table. There isn't a restaurant on site, but Daniel arranged a great value breakfast and dinner for me. And tea/coffee was available. The staff were available 24 hours, and they couldn't be more helpful. Excellent value.

I enjoyed every single moment of my four night stay at The Travancore Heritage. They are master of hospitality and you feel immediately welcomed by the female reception staff. The property is very large, plenty of space, beautifully maintained. Wonderful gardens, easy to stroll around, with fantastic beach views. They have 2 restaurants, with a wonderful selection of food choices, the chef and his team take care of your every need. I managed to squeeze in a few Ayurveda treatments, (only due to they were fully booked), the best I have received in India. The top swimming pool was very clean and lovely to chill out on the day beds after a day of sightseeing, location easy to walk to beach, local shops (good shopping), temples and church. You will need a tut tuk to visit lighthouse and town, just walk outside the resort and they will help you out. The other pool is for families and children. Their is activities to do if you like and a short walk to the beach, the lifeguards are wonderful and set up your day beds for you, great location for sunset! My room was spacious and clean, the bed comfortable and I loved the balcony that I could view the ocean from, the staff even left me towel animals. A special shout out to Annie for going above and beyond, her kindness is a gift! You could easily stay here for a week, I highly recommend booking your stay here.
