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.

Fantastic resort in Kumarakom
Fantastic resort in Kumarakom - well maintained property, clean, manicured. Suite was spacious, comfortable and the pool was clean and nice. Outdoor bathrooms were unique experience! Lots of activities for kids including kayaking, fishing, carrom etc. Ayurveda spa was also nice. We did a boathouse overnight stay, lunch cruise and a canal cruise. The last one was my favorite as it takes you closer to the bird sanctuary and villages. Staff was very friendly and special mention to activity coordinator Kavi who took some great family photos! Tough to find too many negatives, minor gripes were the mosquitoes and bugs (which are to be expected in the backwaters). Overall, a wonderful resort for a family vacation!

My husband and I went to Kumarakom Lake Resort to celebrate our anniversary and my birthday. We were spoiled rotten from the moment we stepped on to the property. All the staff are exceptionally attentive, kind and smart. Just quality human beings. My husband is vegan and he basically had personalized service for every meal with special vegan food cooked for him everyday INCLUDING dessert. It was unbelievable. The food was really delicious possibly some of the best we've had in the world (I am now a fan of Kerala cuisine). It was also exceptionally healthy which was so nice because we didn't feel heavy after every meal. Akshay at the restaurant took special care of us everyday and painstakingly explained each and every dish for all 10 or so meals we had at the restaurant. He is really special. We had a nice surprise on the cruise when we discovered the activity manager, Kavi is a bit of a celebrity photographer. He took photos of us that were honestly better than my wedding pictures. He's also really humble for someone who's such a big deal. I posted the photos on social media and everyone was blown away by the work he did. On my birthday, Arun arranged a beautiful private dinner for me and my husband as a surprise and we had a personal waiter Adith. Adith was so much fun to have around because he taught me how to eat each of teh dishes Kerala style in the right combinations. I honestly had the best birthday ever with everyone at Kumarakom. They sure know how to make a gal feel special! Other than that, Chef Printo was amazing as were Arathy, Alan and I think Ashwini from guest relations. The place is gorgeous with an amazing yoga instructor. I did yoga every morning and thoroughly enjoyed it. I just felt so healthy and good. The Ayurveda treatments are good- but not amazing. I feel like they can maybe do a bit better there especially with the consult etc. They can really make it very cool if they give you a detailed questionnaire and recommendations on dietary guidelines etc. Would add a really nice touch. I found the massage prices too high. I also didn't like that the rooms were open so in the one facial I had I was being eaten by mosquitos which wasn't pleasant. The only other negative was the mosquitos which really tortured me but they didnt seem to bother my husband so much. I would also say that I found some of the food wayyy overpriced. I think they can improve on that. Overall I would return in a heartbeat. It was so much fun. They have multiple activities in the resort and you just don't know how time flies. I felt like all teh staff became my friends. I have so much respect for each of them and it is so rare to see people who really care. I hope the management of the resort takes care to recognise and retain them.

The place is good in terms of ambience, reception and staff. Now I’ll come to where it starts to lag First is WiFi Very low speed if you want to work, use JIO it works amazing in this place.(50+mbps) Secondly, everything was fine before the sun set then came an army of mosquitoes everywhere. I don’t know why they have an open washroom when they can’t deal with mosquitoes and insects. I love the wild, didn’t expect it right here. Should carry odomos along, as neither allout nor fast card is enough for this. Thirdly, if you are tall, this place is a nightmare. You will surely hit your head, no matter how cautious you are. But yeah, they have some Ayurvedic helper to guide you if you’re injured.

My husband and I were going to stay for 8 days but we stayed there only for 4 days... This was actually our honeymoon and Kumarakom was second destination for our Indian honeymoon trip. First 6 days we spent in Jaipur. We were supposed to have ayurvedic 8 days treatment. As soon as we arrived at hotel we met the ayurveda doctor and they planed our next 8 days treatments. We had a first oil massage treatment on the day we arrived and next day I had terrible rash all over my body. Then I had food poisoned diarrhea all day, all night for third days from their buffet foods. My husband also had mild one too for 3 days. On third day I could not even get out form the bed and eat... The hotel doctor advised I should go to the hospital and I went and had drip for 3 hours. It was terrible. After I came back from the hospital to the hotel, we booked flight tickets to go back home. I just wanted to get out of the hotel. It was a nightmare trip ever. We knew we might get food poison in India so we made sure to avoid this as much as we could... booking 5 star hotels and eating hotel foods... still we couldn't avoid this. I really do not recommend this hotel. I just think buffet style restaurant in that kind of high humid weather is very dangerous. And also the hotel should offer some kind of compensation for this kind of bad experienced guests. We didn't get any of that.

We stayed at the resort in February, and were impressed with the accommodation and the setting. we had a Heritage Villa, which was well appointed, and had a private pool which was a definite plus. The gardens are well-kept and quite beautiful. The Gym has all of the equipment facing a blank wall, rather than a view of the gardens, which is a pity. My wife had the Ayurveda massage, which was good but expensive. Some services which were in the hotel information pack were not available, such as pedicure. Our one big disappointment was the catering. With the exception of the Seafood restaurant (Vembanad), which was very good, the main restaurant was a big disappointment, and not of a standard justified by the rest of the hotel.. Breakfast would not have been amiss in a Premier Inn, and lunch and dinner were also below our expected standard. Service was impeccable, but the quality and variety of the food was poor in the Ettukettu restaurant. We ate by the infinity pool one day, but again this was disappointing, being a chicken tikka sandwich with lots of bread and soggy chips. The Seafood Restaurant, however, is a different story. We ate here in the evening, and service was again superb, but the food was of a standard which was up to the level of the hotel. In general, a very good resort, but let down by the food, unless you choose to eat at the (slightly more expensive) seafood restaurant.
