Frequently asked questions

Who should go to Rockholm at the Light House Beach?

Consider Rockholm at the Lighthouse Beach if you value: Direct access to a semi-private beach. The option of experiencing a personalized Panchakarma program, whether it's a serious detox or a gentle one. High-quality yoga sessions alongside authentic Ayurvedic treatments. A smaller, more intimate wellness resort with highly personalized service. Vegetarian cuisine that is rich in flavor but not necessarily limited to Satvik standards. A smoke-free environment. The ability to abstain from caffeine and meat during your stay. The main highlight of Rockholm is that all 19 rooms offer breathtaking sea views and modern amenities.

Who should not go to Rockholm at the Light House Beach?

Rockholm may not be the right choice for you if: You are a smoker or need a smoking room. You plan to bring a child under the age of 12. You need your daily caffeine fix and are unwilling to give up coffee or chai. You expect long, daily spa treatments beyond 90 minutes to 1 hour and 45 minutes. Please note that: Smoking is prohibited on the property. Children under 12 are not permitted. Coffee and tea are not openly provided to in-house guests. Treatments are limited to 90 minutes to 1 hour and 45 minutes per day. If you desire more extensive treatments, contact Ayurooms for alternative recommendations.

How Close is Rockholm to the Beach?
Is Rockholm Good for Weight Loss?
Is Rockholm Good for Panchakarma?

Rockholm is well-suited for Panchakarma, particularly if you are disciplined and serious about your Ayurvedic journey. However, its suitability depends on your prior experience with Panchakarma and the specific health issues you aim to address. It’s important to note that certain Panchakarma treatments, such as Vamana (therapeutic vomiting) and Rakta Moksha (bloodletting), are rarely performed at Rockholm. If your condition requires these specific therapies, Rockholm may not be the best choice. For a more tailored recommendation, consult Aly Alidina at Ayurooms.

If your health requires such advanced treatments, Ayurooms can suggest alternative Ayurveda resorts in Kerala that match your needs.
