Established over thirty years ago on Chowara Beach near Kovalam as the first Ayurvedic retreat to bring classical Kerala Ayurveda systematically to international guests, Somatheeram has been awarded Best Ayurvedic Centre in Kerala ten times and carries a depth of institutional knowledge that few properties on the Malabar coast can match. The physician team specialises in treating the stress, metabolic, and lifestyle conditions that characterise modern Western lives, with programmes spanning gentle Rejuvenation to full Panchakarma Body Purification, Stress Management, and Immune System strengthening, all conducted under resident medical supervision alongside daily yoga and meditation with dedicated yoga masters, and an Ayurvedic kitchen calibrated to each guest’s treatment plan.
Beachfront in Kerala, managed by a German-Indian team with three decades of experience translating authentic Ayurveda for European guests, Somatheeram remains one of the most reliably grounded and internationally respected starting points for anyone beginning a serious Ayurvedic healing journey in India.

Somatheeram Resort provides authentic Ayurvedic treatments to rejuvenate your well being.
Somatheeram has already been awarded the “Best Ayurvedic Center” in Kerala 10 times. The team of doctors consists of renowned Ayurveda specialists and has specialized in the treatment of western diseases for more than 30 years. Not least because of this, over 98% of the spa guests are satisfied with their Ayurveda cure in the Somatheeram Ayurvedic Health Resort.
Hatha Yoga in the Somatheeram Ayurvedic Health Resort puts people in a state of calm – and thus in a state of equilibrium. Because of its healing and preventive effects, which have been known for centuries, Hatha Yoga is an important part of Somatheeram Ayurveda cures. The exercises of Somatheeram yoga masters alleviate this pain.
Strengthening the health of the healthy and curing the illness of the patient: These are the goals of Ayurvedic medicine - and thus also those of Somatheeram doctors and therapists. Ayurveda is based on a forward-looking strategy: Preventive therapies should keep people healthy and thus prevent diseases. This is what our name stands for: Somatheeram Ayurvedic Health Resort. The doctors and therapists use the extensive wealth of knowledge and experience from more than 5000 years every day and always look at people in their uniqueness. Diagnosis and therapy are based on the patient's personal condition.
Somatheeram attaches great importance to the fact that the quality is impeccable for the benefit of the guests. Therefore there is an in-house production of Oils and Medicine, which is under the strict supervision of our doctors. A research and development team also help ensure that the quality of our medicines is flawless. "Somatheeram Production" has been officially awarded the certificate of Good Manufacturing Practice (GPM).
