Nikkis Nest / 7 Nights Rejuvenation Program

Nestled within an ancient fishing village, Nikki’s Nest offers captivating views of the vast ocean and local fishermen setting out in catamarans guided by the stars. The resort's architecture embraces open, breezy corridors, lush green lawns, and cottages scattered across a palm-fringed hillock, gently descending to the Arabian Sea. Each cottage, adorned with essential comforts, boasts a private verandah for an immersive experience along India’s scenic south coast.

Upon reservation, guests luxuriate in an array of amenities, including a refreshing swimming pool, a spacious sundeck, complimentary Wi-Fi, secure lockers, currency exchange services, and expert tour guidance. The resort also provides beach essentials like umbrellas, deck chairs, and towels, with mosquito nets available upon request. Special cultural performances enhance the guest experience during significant occasions, and a thoughtful 'survival kit' is graciously provided for those awaiting delayed baggage.

Attend to personal well-being at Nikki’s beauty clinic, where Ayurveda-trained masseurs cater to the beauty needs of both male and female guests. The Spices and Gift Corner offers organic spices from the plantation, Indian handicrafts, Nikki’s Nest's exclusive recipe book, and organic coconut oil. Laundry services are accessible at reasonable rates based on garment types.

For enthusiasts seeking astrological insights, Nikki’s Nest facilitates consultations with proficient Indian astrologers. Arrange for convenient taxi or tuk-tuk services at the front desk, with fares contingent on the chosen mode of transport and distance covered. Embrace the art of reasonable bargaining while exploring souvenir shops to ensure a delightful shopping experience.

While the local community radiates warmth, caution is advised against engaging with individuals pressuring tourists for money. In unforeseen circumstances, guests can confidently reach out to Nikki’s Nest's reception. Leisurely walks along the beach, away from lifeguards, especially in beachwear, are discouraged due to local conservative norms. Modesty in dress is recommended when visiting temples, covering arms and legs respectfully.

While Nikki’s Nest encourages guests to explore the elephant orphanage and sanctuary, ethical concerns prompt the discouragement of elephant rides. Instead, guests are invited to observe and study the elephants' behavior. Should any animal-related issues arise, guests are encouraged to promptly contact the reception, empowering Nikki’s Nest staff to collaborate with animal welfare organizations for potential rescues.

With a collective experience spanning 19-26 years, the team of doctors at Nikki’s Nest has been steadfastly devoted to Ayurveda, health, and well-being. Supported by 25 experienced masseurs, 17 treatment rooms, a comprehensive Ayurveda kitchen, and invigorating yoga sessions, Nikki’s Nest has been a haven for Ayurveda wellness since 1996.

In the unwavering commitment to deliver top-notch quality for Ayurveda treatment guests, Nikki’s Nest produces its own Ayurveda oils and treatment powders at Duke’s Forest Lodge, the plantation. Under the vigilant supervision of the Ayurveda doctor, the manufacturing process ensures the highest quality. The oils and powders are meticulously crafted from herbs and roots, either naturally sourced from reliable outlets or freshly picked from the plantation.

Kerala, blessed with rich soil and a conducive climate, nurtures a diverse range of rare medicinal herbs and plants. The preference for herbal-based Ayurvedic medicines aligns with the state's tradition of classical preparations. The resort steers clear of using minerals and metals in medicines, focusing on herbal formulations that harness the potency of Kerala's rich medicinal vegetation.

To maintain transparency and guest confidence, the resort outsources internal medicines like tablets from reputed companies with Research and Development wings. These companies hold licenses from the Drugs Control Department of the state and have received a Good Manufacturing Stamp from the central government of India. The Ayurveda physicians explain the medications in detail, providing information on the manufacturing company, ingredients, and preparation methods. Guests are encouraged to consult physicians for any concerns about the products used.

At Nikki’s Nest, the team embraces both Sodhana (Panchakarma) and Samana forms of therapy based on consultation, dosha ratios, guest capacity, body conditions, and physician recommendations. The therapies and massages aim to rejuvenate, relax, and provide a wholesome holiday experience.

Yoga and meditation, essential complements to Ayurveda, are integral to de-stress, enhance strength, flexibility, and balance. Conducted by experienced instructors, daily yoga sessions cater to experts, moderates, and beginners. Sunday mornings are kept free from yoga, allowing guests to enjoy a leisurely vacation day.

The resort's Yoga platform, with a view of the ocean and positive energy flowing from a nearby Hindu temple, fosters a serene environment for holistic well-being.

Producing Ayurveda Oils and Powders

The use of Ayurveda oils and powders for both external and internal applications is a meticulous process at Nikki’s Nest. Ingredients are naturally sourced or freshly plucked from the plantation, under the supervision of the Ayurveda doctor. Producing Ayurveda products ensures quality and the meticulous combination of necessary ingredients for each specific classical product.

Putting Used Ayurveda Oil to Good Use

Excess oil collected after treatments is repurposed for various beneficial applications. It is provided to small-scale cottage industries for lubricating machines, used in rubberized road tarring work, and blended into a mixture for termite-proofing. This sustainable approach underscores the commitment to environmental responsibility.
