Niraamaya Retreats Surya Samudra, Kovalam is considered one of Kerala’s foremost wellness retreats, which offers the healing powers of immersive Ayurveda traditions and recreates its rich culinary traditions in unsullied surroundings. The Niraamaya Spa at the retreat, which just won the Best Luxury Ayurveda Retreat 2019 at the World Luxury Spa Awards 2019, is a space to relax, rejuvenate and experience the magic of Ayurveda, an ancient healing science which considers monsoons to be the best season for healing or rejuvenation. Higher levels of humidity help open up the pores, allowing medicated and herbal oils to seep in and restore the body’s health and vitality. Monsoon’s moist air helps soften the skin and leads to better removal of toxins from the body.

The retreat delivers bespoke experiences, from stay to spa, from cuisine to destination, celebrating the timeless values of Kerala’s Ayurveda, architectural and culinary heritage.
