Niraamaya Retreats Surya Samudra - Reviews

Nirvana @ Niraamaya
This was ny second visit to Niraamaya. A few other guest I met wonder and asked me why i am visiting again. Three reasons
1. The beautiful view of vast Arabian sea.
2. The Ayurveda treatment
3. The peaceful serenity

Starting with Bhavya. The booking manager who got everything arranged. And always on call ready to help whenever i needed any help. You are the best.

Shout out to the GM Himadri Bhatt, she personally looks into each aspect of guests needs and does very best to provide as much comfort. Because of her dedication, empathy and diligence, her team seemed to reach its best potential. It was very evident that her leadership makes each team member better.

I had a late check in, and because of that i booked basic room on my day of visit and rest 4 days in the heritage primium. To my surprise Niramaaya team has arranged for me to settle in my premium room from the very first day so that i dont face hassle of shifting. This was a great start of my stay.

My mom had horrible rashes because of the summer heat, the ayurveda doctor Dr.Bejoy personally came to our room to check on her and helped with medicines and listened to her concerns. My Ayurveda treatment he arranged for fantastic four days session of relaxation and rejuvenation. I had severe backpain that I couldnt move but in 2 days of treatment 80% of the pain was gone by end of treatment i had no pain at all.

It was a very short trip and my only regret is I couldnt spend more time. Next time I am planning for 10 days at minimum to soaking in the beauty of kerala and healing of Ayurveda and the balance of yoga with Teacher Unni.

Teacher Unni is a wise man, with great insight on life, spirituality and enlightenment. He is a master of yoga, and his sessions are not only heal physically but also balance mentally. Yoga by the seaside is an experience i would highly recommend.

Easter breakfast was so super fun with great kerala cuisines and puttu my new favorite. Shout out to both Chefs who personally took care of us. The elaborate presentation made us feel so special. Thanks to Jobin, Samsung, Nobin and Leo who cared so much for us. The entire team is just amazing and feels like a family. Shout out to Anupam who was on a vacation himself but coordinated over phone with Jobin and team, and got everything set for us. We missed seeing you Anupam but you and the team made us feel like home.

Finally shout out to Niteesha, Neeruappam, Binu, Juliette and Shaijal at the housekeeping side. Probably the most important. Each member of said team did their extremely best and beyond when it came to take care of the room. I am a germophobe and i need my room clean , done to detail. Trust me when i say i would just want to steal these guys away lol. They are so understanding, helpful and dedicated towards their job that if one department i would give 100 on 10, its this one. Thank you so much team, you are the MVP of the entire stay. Special call out - the first day by the time i settle in the room and asked for a "goodnight" machine at midnight, these folks didnt blink but helped me with all my requirements.

Finally the security was so diligent and aware of their duties of protecting us.

Last thing - towards the beach shop keeper Paru Anil has incredible dresses, which he and his wife makes. They are artistic, trustworthy and great human beings. If you havent bought a dress from him, the trip wont be concluded. Pack light and buy colorful magic at his beachside biotique.

The Staff is amazing, very friendly & accomodating, the smile and their welcoming attitude is their signature.
The Facility is well maintained an kept very properly. The view and the location on the shore are unique and very relaxing.
The Treatments under guidance of Doc Bejoy are great. Also here, the terapists do an amazing job.
The Restauration is very versatile and high quality, the ayurveda diet is very tasty and varied. Local Foods are great and a real event.
The Yoga and Meditation sessions are on a level everybody is capable of.
The Activities can be selected individually, the staff is careful for your wishes and well organized.
The Resort in general is very accomodating and very well lead.
Thank you!

Our stay was delightful at the Niraamaya Resorts. Accompanied by a friend, we loved the kind and thoughtful hospitality of the resort for each of their guests. It felt like a home away from home. The cottage we stayed in had a magnificent ocean view, and the soothing sounds of the waves transcended into the cottage, making it quite Serene. We had a pleasurable dining experience. Some dishes were curated according to our dietary preferences and were quite delicious. The yoga sessions by yoga master Unni were genuinely relaxing and refreshing. The Ayurveda Spa, with its experienced doctors and massage therapists, was therapeutic. I would undoubtedly recommend Niraamaya to anyone looking to unwind and have a rejuvenating, tranquil experience!

The retreat is exceptionally beautiful, one can feel the instant calmness not only in the beauty of the property but in all the staff associated.
We had such a relaxing holiday , starting with the energising yoga by the beach, courtesy yoga guru Mr.Unni.

We went in a group of 8-2 familes. The rooms given to us werent wheelchair friendly. So many stairs and is dangerous in the night time with kids. Heritage classics are rooms created in a corner forgotten. In the night its so scary to go as the pathway is so dark. The service is really slow. The bar is not operational and no drinks are available at the restaurant. Only lassi and coffee.
Wasnt calming at all. With all the walking and climbing to HEritage classics it was a rather tiring experience. Wouldnt recommend it to anyone.

Nestled in breathtaking surroundings, with sweeping views of the sea and an unspoiled beach, the hotel serves as a sanctuary for tired travellers. It offers an authentic Keralite encounter. Our stay was marked by serenity and calmness. Seated on the porch of our Heritage Premium Cottage, it was just us and the natural world. The staff embodied the warmth, hospitality, and generosity characteristic of the people of Kerala.

We enjoyed great comfort in our expansive cottage, complete with a generous four-poster bed and an outdoor shower. Our heartfelt gratitude goes to the ever-smiling Santhosh for diligently maintaining its cleanliness. On the occasion of our wedding anniversary, he surprised us with a lovely towel display featuring two swans and a heart on our bed.

The alfresco restaurant delighted our taste buds with authentic Kerala cuisine, richly spiced and incredibly flavourful. The ever-attentive guest service staff, including Swamy, Sujata, Ani, Anupam, and Ani K, served us in the restaurant, all supervised by the ever-smiling Restaurant Manager, Jobin. On our Anniversary, we were pleasantly surprised during dinner when we were led to a special poolside table. There, we enjoyed a delicious grilled Mahi Mahi fish dish, skilfully prepared by Executive Chef Saju, accompanied by a crisp and refreshing white wine. These delightful moments have etched lovely memories in our hearts.

And so to Unni, experienced yoga teacher. He generously devoted his time to providing me with personalised one-on-one lessons. Unfortunately, I could not attend his complimentary group class on a clifftop promontory at 7am, due to my much-needed sleep. These individual sessions proved immensely beneficial, especially considering my four-year hiatus from yoga practise. Unni thoughtfully tailored the lessons to gently restore my mobility and flexibility. His embodiment of care, compassion, and love resonates with the spirit of the Kerala people that we encountered at the hotel. I eagerly await the opportunity to join his online classes soon!

Last, but not least, the Ayurveda Spa was truly the cherry on the cake during our wellness holiday. My husband and I had an in-depth consultation with Spa Manager Dr. Bejoy Mathew. His advice on weight loss was refreshingly simple yet highly effective: count calories and take a brisk 40-minute walk daily on a flat surface. If walking isn

This was our third visit to Niraamaya Retreats Surya Samudra Kovalam, we were there between October 5-7

The hotel is a member of Relais & Chateaux and is, or rather was, one of the best hotels in the world. Depending on the bungalow, this costs between

Stay here can be called a luxury ayurvedic experience. Even the rooms here say the same. No negatives here
