What makes The Leela Kovalam a top choice for luxury Ayurveda and Panchakarma in Kerala?

The Leela Kovalam seamlessly combines modern 5-star luxury with authentic Ayurvedic wellness experiences, making it one of the best luxury Ayurveda retreats in Kerala. The resort offers lavish accommodations, breathtaking sea views, and distinctive double-therapist Ayurvedic massages (Abhyanga), catering to guests who desire both holistic wellness and high-end amenities. At The Leela Kovalam, you can undergo a comprehensive and serious Panchakarma in a luxurious coastal setting which is perfect for those seeking detox, rejuvenation, and Ayurvedic healing with greater comfort than traditional Ayurvedic cottages.

Both resorts offer exceptional Ayurveda and yoga experiences in Kerala but with different aesthetics. The Leela Kovalam is ideal for those preferring a grand, contemporary 5-star resort setting, complete with Dubai-style luxury, expansive facilities, and over 180 rooms. Niraamaya Retreats Surya Samudra, on the other hand, offers an intimate Ayurvedic spa experience in traditional Kerala-style cottages.

Our all-inclusive wellness packages mean no hidden fees and complete peace of mind.

The Leela Kovalam is among the few Ayurvedic resorts in Kerala that offer four-hand (double-therapist) massages such as Abhyanga, enhancing the depth of relaxation and detoxification. The Ayurvedic spa is staffed with skilled therapists trained in traditional Panchakarma protocols and rejuvenation therapies. This wellness experience is set in a luxurious environment, making The Leela an ideal destination for those seeking authentic Ayurvedic treatment in Trivandrum without compromising on comfort or modern amenities.

Is alcohol available at The Leela Kovalam during my Ayurveda stay?

Yes, The Leela Kovalam features one of the finest bars in Trivandrum, offering a wide range of fine wines and spirits.
