Niraamaya Wellness Retreats, Surya Samudra, Kovalam

I went to Mauritius a few months back and I can say with full confidence that Niraamaya experience in Kerala was better or at par with my Maldivian and Mauritius stay. You can go for both leisure and detox as it has one of the best ayurvedic tharepies in India.

I stayed at Niraamaya Retreats - Kovalam Beach Resort from 27th February to 10th March 2025 and had an incredible 14-day experience. Known for its world-class Ayurvedic treatments, I chose a wellness package that included personalized therapies, therapeutic massages, and a specially curated vegetarian diet. The meals, prepared with fresh spices, were an absolute delight. Set on a scenic hillside surrounded by lush greenery, the resort offers stunning views with the beach just 50 meters away. However, some paths are uneven with multiple steps, so walking carefully is advised. The resort is committed to eco-conscious living, promoting sustainability among guests. A highlight of my stay was sunrise yoga by the seaside, where the soothing sound of waves enhanced the meditation experience. The staff were exceptional, ensuring every guest felt welcome and cared for. Housekeeping maintained impeccable cleanliness, sweeping daily for mosquitoes and providing nets for a peaceful, bite-free sleep. A special thank you to the team for their warm hospitality and the thoughtful gift—a beautifully engraved wooden box with my name and authentic Kerala spices, which I will cherish. This retreat has been life-changing, helping me with weight loss and overall well-being through Ayurveda, especially when Western medicine had failed me.

I had an amazing experience at the Niraamaya Wellness Retreats in Kovalam and highly recommend this exceptional and idyllic destination. I did a five day personalised yoga and meditation retreat which was absolutely wonderful and tailored to my needs thanks to Unni the most gentle, patient and accomodating yoga Guru I ever met. The highlight of the retreat was the Christmas Eve Gala and Christmas day celebration with an elephant which were both astonishing. A huge thank you to the whole team for their hard work, caring hospitality and making my stay memorable. Thank you in particular to Akshay from housekeeping, Gouri from the Samsara restaurant and last but not least to Gourav Dev, Chief of Operations who went above and beyond throughout my whole stay and helped me plant a memory tree. There's still Human Kindness in the world and you can find it at Niraamaya in Kovalam.
