Niraamaya Wellness Retreats, Surya Samudra, Kovalam

We stayed in this retreat with a sea view room and I must say it's the most beautiful and gorgeous view. On arrival the ritual of welcoming the guests by the staff makes you feel so special. Everything is so natural and well maintained. Staff are so respectful and quick to attend to your needs. It has its own private beach. The restaurant inside the resort is awesome with delicious food and have a great view. If you want something to be made outside the menu, staff is always helpful to provide it for you. They customize the food accordingly. They go to great lengths, to provide you what you want. The only one drawback in the room we stayed is the open to sky bathroom. In normal weather it's great but when it rains, it's a mess in the bathroom. The floor gets all wet which I am not a fan of personally. If you are a nature lover, want great view and the best staff then go to Niraamaya Surya Samudra retreat!! But overall I will give 4.5 out of 5 rating.(I wish I could give 5 star rating, but open to sky restroom was a little bummer because of heavy rains when we went) One of the best resorts or hotels that I stayed at and I would always choose this whenever I go to this place.

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.
