The iconic 'Nalukettu,' a traditional four-sided thatched roof adorned with wooden hulls, houses Ayurmana, meticulously relocated to preserve its historic charm and serve as a repository of ancient Ayurvedic practices.
The Ayurveda Center at Kumarakom Lake Resort boasts a rich lineage steeped in traditional Ayurvedic treatment and holistic well-being. The ancestral house of Chathamangalattumana from Udayamperoor in Thripunithura, known as Nalukettu, was lovingly dismantled and reassembled at the resort. This ancestral Brahmin's house, believed to carry the genuine grace of Kodugallor Goddess and Narasimha Moorthy, has a storied history of Ayurvedic practice, providing solace to patients. Today, reconstructed at Kumarakom Lake Resort, this Nalukettu stands as the Ayurveda Center, continuing its legacy.
In the face of modern challenges, Ayurveda, the wisdom of sages, gains renewed relevance, advocating a lifestyle in complete harmony with nature. It seeks a perfect balance of body, mind, and soul, addressing each ailment and individual independently. Ayurmana, the heritage retreat of Ayurvedic healing at Kumarakom Lake Resort, embodies the historic powers of the oldest sciences. The 200-year-old Ayurmana, once the home of the Chathamangalathu Mana family, renowned Ayurvedic practitioners, now proudly stands as a renowned Ayurveda spa, preserving this rich legacy.
The Ayurvedic system revolves around three biological elements—Vata, Pitta, and Kapha, collectively known as "Tridosha." Maintaining a balanced state of these elements is crucial for overall health, while imbalances can lead to disorders. These doshas influence the formation of seven dhatus (tissues) and their metabolic waste products (Malas), constituting the body's integral components. Health prevails in a balanced state, but vitiation and imbalance lead to disease and aging.
Kumarakom Lake Resort invites guests to discover harmony with nature through Yoga, a practice designed to isolate the ego from the body and mind. Yoga's asanas or postures sharpen concentration, improve health, and assist in attaining peace of mind.
The resort offers various Ayurveda packages, including Panchakarma, Rejuvenation, De-stress Package, Weight Reduction, and Beauty-Care Treatment. Treatments range from Rejuvenation Massage (Abhyangam), Sirodhara, and Ksheeradhara to Udwarthanam, Pizhichil, and Nasyam. Each treatment aims to enhance overall well-being, providing therapeutic and relaxation benefits.
At Kumarakom Lake Resort, Ayurmana beckons as a haven for those seeking holistic wellness, immersing guests in the ancient wisdom of Ayurveda within the serene backdrop of Kumarakom.

My wife and I recently had the pleasure of staying at Kumarakom Lake Resort, and I must say, it was an extraordinary experience from start to finish. Not only was the resort itself stunning, but the food and massage therapy services provided were exceptional. Let's start with the food. The resort's restaurant offered a wide variety of delectable dishes that catered to different dietary preferences. Every meal was a culinary delight, prepared with utmost care and presented beautifully. The flavors were exquisite, and the quality of ingredients used was evident in every bite. I especially appreciated the attention to detail in the presentation, which added an extra touch of elegance to the dining experience. Moving on to the Ayurvedic treatments were conducted by skilled and knowledgeable therapists who had a deep understanding of the principles and techniques of Ayurveda. It was truly a blissful experience that left me feeling refreshed and revitalized. Additionally, the staff at Resort were warm, friendly, and attentive throughout my stay. From the moment I arrived until the time of departure, they went above and beyond to ensure my comfort and satisfaction. Their genuine hospitality and willingness to assist with any request added an extra layer of enjoyment to my overall experience. Aleena was exceptionally kind to constantly check on us throughout the day. Thank you so much. Even when my wife asked for a fruit that they didn't carry in their restaurant, they had someone get it from market for us which was prepared and left in an ice container fresh in our room for when we get back. They also surprised us with a special made anniversary cake. Amazing. They went out of their way to make us feel special. The resort itself boasted breathtaking surroundings, with pristine landscapes and awe-inspiring views. There is a direct access from the villas into a pool which was nice. The attention to detail in the vintage design and maintenance of the property was evident, creating a tranquil and luxurious ambiance. Overall, my stay at Kumarakom Lake Resort was a memorable one. I highly recommend this resort to anyone seeking a truly indulgent and rejuvenating getaway. Whether it's the delectable culinary experiences or the heavenly massages, this Resort delivers an unforgettable experience that leaves you feeling pampered and rejuvenated.

The Kumarakom Lake Resort is the best holiday or vacation spot our family has been to in the recent past. Our airport pick up was perfect. It was a good 2-hour ride from Cochin airport to the resort. Half the travel is on narrow roads, so if you have any motion sickness, be prepared! The day we checked in there was about close to 40 guests vacating the resort, the entire staff were running around trying to send them all out in a timely fashion. The initial 10 minutes contributed to some confusion though, the front office staff were in constant communication regarding the situation and helped us settle! The staff are extremely wonderful. Srilakshmi, Dhanush and Driver Vishnu get a special shout out! We have stayed at many places before, but there is something worthwhile to mention here, the ambience, the traditional construction and the details of it, along with the layout and the lake view made it all worth everything. The curio shop within the resort is ok too, but I found it very expensive. The food was excellent. The buffet for dinner, lunch and breakfast were good. However, Vempanad Restaurant was worth every bit! The lakeview bungalow was really good. The private pool is a large jacuzzi tub than a swimming pool. The four day stay was exactly what we hoped for. I have to make a special mention about the Ayurveda Massages we went to. They are the best. Plan on taking advantage of them. Yes, the entire stay was worth it and I would redo it.
