Kalari Kovilakom

Located well off the main Keralan tourist trail in the foothills of the Annamalai mountain range, Kalari Kovilakom is set in an ancient palace that has been beautifully converted into a luxurious 19 bedroom wellness retreat.

Its breathtaking and tranquil setting aside, the reason why people come to Kalari Kovilakom year after year is to transform their physical, mental and spiritual health through traditional Ayurvedic medicine. Following an extensive consultation with one of the retreat's Ayurvedic doctors or Vaidyas, a personalised programme will be prescribed to help you achieve whatever your specific health and wellness goal may be. These in-depth and bespoke programmes will include a personalised Ayurvedic diet, daily morning Yoga and meditation sessions and tailored daily massages in one of the retreat's 12 light and airy treatment rooms. It is important to note that the minimum stay at Kalari Kovilakom is two weeks, which is the time required for Ayurvedic treatments to have any real and long-lasting effect.

When not undergoing treatments, guests can retire to their spacious and well-appointed rooms, relax in the retreat's peaceful gardens or explore the stunning natural beauty of the surrounding area.
