Soma Manaltheeram
Ayurveda Beach Village
Award-winning Ayurvedic hospital set on a stunning golden beach in Kerala — offering authentic Panchakarma, personalised wellness, yoga, and dosha-specific nourishment on the shores of the Arabian Sea.
Where the Arabian Sea
Meets Ancient Healing
Manaltheeram Ayurveda Beach Village gives you an opportunity to pamper yourself with a heavenly experience — let the "Science of Life" restore your physical, mental, spiritual, and emotional equilibrium. Situated 21 kilometres from Thiruvananthapuram International Airport, this award-winning resort is set on a stunning stretch of golden sand beach in Kerala.
Manaltheeram is as outstanding as its sister concern — the World's First Ayurveda Retreat, "Somatheeram Research Institute & Ayurveda Hospital." Authentic treatments, dosha-specific meals, and expert-led yoga create a holistic experience beyond compare.
Ayurvedic Treatments
All treatments are prescribed by our resident Ayurvedic physicians following a detailed consultation of your Prakriti and dosha imbalances. Every therapy is classical, authentic, and completely personalised — administered by well-trained therapists under experienced doctor supervision.
Full-body warm herbal oil massage by two therapists using synchronised hand and foot techniques — nourishes every layer of tissue, boosts circulation and calms the nervous system.
A steady stream of warm medicated oil poured over the third-eye point on the forehead. Profoundly calms the mind, relieves anxiety, insomnia and neurological stress.
The royal oil treatment — warm medicated oil squeezed from cloth over the body while massaged. Exceptional for musculo-skeletal conditions, arthritis and deep rejuvenation.
Massage with medicated rice bolus bags (navara) cooked in herbal milk decoction — a uniquely Kerala treatment that deeply nourishes tissues and alleviates neuromuscular conditions.
The five classical purification procedures — Vamana, Virechana, Basti, Nasya and Raktamokshana — administered after thorough doctor assessment for complete cellular detox.
Internal oleation using medicated ghee on an empty stomach — a preparatory Panchakarma step that softens the body tissues and loosens deep-seated toxins for purification.
Medicated oil administered through the nasal passages — the gateway to the brain. Treats sinusitis, migraines, neurological conditions and head-region disorders effectively.
Up to three guided yoga sessions and two meditation classes daily, conducted on the beach or in open-air pavilions — personalised to complement your Ayurvedic treatment programme.
