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. 🌿✨

We booked an upper floor at first. But when we had arrived, we were offered to stay at the separate building on the territory. The house consists of two rooms with separate entries and mutual kitchen (refrigerator, dishes, gas stove, kettle). Room has attached bathroom. The house is new, including furniture, bathroom, kitchen equipment. Everything is very clean and neat: the house (everyday cleaning possible), the garden. Bathroom is spacious with hot water. There is garden furniture, AC in the room, WiFi. You can have a transfer, laundry, Indian breakfast for additional payment. The place is quiet, but you can easily reach supermarket and bus stop on foot. The host is very helpful and responsible. He helped me with all my nneeds (sim card, bike, money exchang ing, etc).

The manager is so nice and helpful, really went out of his way to be welcoming! The location is great- seconds from the beach. They hadn’t been open long when I stayed - the mural in my room was beautiful, and the artist was here painting other rooms, so I think it will look gorgeous when it’s all finished.
