Fort Ayurveda / 90 Minutes Elakizhi -Fresh Herbs Program

Set within the serene countryside of Fort Kochi, Fort Ayurveda offers a calm and restorative setting that feels intimately connected to the beauty of its natural surroundings. Its beachside location provides gentle coastal breezes and a charming view of the Kochi harbour, creating an atmosphere where guests can unwind, reflect, and begin their healing journey in tranquillity. This peaceful environment makes the centre an inviting retreat for those seeking relaxation and rejuvenation during their stay in the historic coastal town.

Deeply rooted in Kerala’s Ayurvedic heritage, the centre is managed by Fort House Hotel and operates from two locations in Fort Kochi—Hotel Fort House on Calvathy Road and a second centre on Santa Cruz School Road behind the Basilica. Guided by traditional principles and a commitment to high hygienic standards, the team remains attentive to the expectations of international guests. Treatments are provided by well-trained female and male therapists who uphold the ethos of compassionate care, while the resident doctor offers detailed guidance on therapies, diet, and lifestyle practices aligned with each guest’s needs.

Accommodation at the Fort House Hotel is simple, clean, and comfortable, designed to complement the centre’s holistic approach. Guests enjoy access to a highly regarded multi-cuisine restaurant, where chefs prepare thoughtfully designed vegetarian meals for Ayurveda package guests as prescribed by the doctor. The ambience of the hotel, together with its harbour-facing sit-out and convenient pick-up and drop-off facilities in and around Fort Kochi and Mattancherry, enhances the ease and comfort of a guest’s stay.

At the heart of Fort Ayurveda lies an extensive menu of preventive, curative, and rejuvenative therapies delivered with traditional precision. Among them, Sirodhara offers a particularly calming experience, with warm herbal oil gently streamed over the forehead to settle the nervous system, improve sleep, and encourage deep relaxation over a 90-minute session. Guests may combine their treatment plans with a leisurely holiday in Fort Kochi, enjoying Ayurveda alongside the cultural richness of the area.

The centre’s commitment to continuous improvement is reflected in its attentiveness to guest feedback and its steady enhancement of facilities and services. Many visitors return, affirming the trust they place in Fort Ayurveda’s thoughtful approach, hygienic standards, and dedication to preserving the healing essence of classical Ayurveda within a welcoming coastal retreat.
