Niraamaya Retreats Surya Samudra, Kovalam, Kerala
A cliffside luxury retreat in Kovalam offering award-winning spa treatments with stunning sea views and a unique blend of Kerala’s cultural richness and holistic healing through curated local experiences.
Niraamaya Retreats Surya Samudra, perched on a cliff above the Arabian Sea is a Relais & Châteaux luxury wellness resort in Kovalam, Kerala with two private beaches and an iconic sea-view infinity pool. This is the place for travellers who want Ayurveda and yoga by the sea without compromising on five-star comfort, privacy, and gourmet dining.
At the award-winning Niraamaya Spa, in-house Ayurvedic doctors design gentle detox and rejuvenation programs alongside therapies from Thai and Western traditions. (Note: certain classical Panchakarma procedures like basti and vamana aren’t performed here, making Niraamaya ideal for wellness getaways rather than intensive clinical detox.) Yoga by the ocean is offered in a serene cliff-top setting; private sessions are available, and Ayurooms packages can include daily yoga.
Traditional Kerala heritage cottages dot the coconut groves, each with outdoor sit-outs and open-to-sky showers. Just 25–30 minutes from Trivandrum (Thiruvananthapuram) Airport, this luxury beach resort in Kerala suits couples, families, and solo travellers seeking spa breaks, short wellness retreats, and sunset views, with beer and wine, expansive breakfasts, and a thoughtful wellness menu.
