Located near Trivandrum, the capital of Kerala, Manaltheeram 4* is just as famous and distinguished an Ayurveda resort as its sister property, Somatheeram Ayurveda Resort.

Resort Overview

The lush landscape of Manaltheeram Ayurveda Beach Village is truly special, as it has not been radically altered but only thoughtfully enhanced to provide every possible comfort. As a result, this greenery-filled retreat has preserved its stunning natural beauty. It is easy to understand why being here, surrounded by such splendor, makes you see the world through different eyes.

Built from eco-friendly materials and equipped with all essential comforts, the accommodation at Manaltheeram is designed in an elegant classical Kerala style. Most rooms feature their own small garden area, while their positioning allows for picturesque sea views.

Ayurveda — the science of life — was born thousands of years ago and continues to be practiced throughout India today. It emphasizes prevention rather than cure, and teaches the importance of keeping body, mind, and spirit in harmony, as this balance is one of the foundations of true health.

Manaltheeram Ayurveda Beach Village holds the prestigious Green Leaf certification awarded by the Kerala state government. It is also a sister property of the renowned Somatheeram Ayurveda Resort, preserving the finest traditions of authentic Ayurveda.

At Manaltheeram, Ayurvedic treatment combines a variety of exercises, therapies, treatments, and proper nutrition, all carried out under professional supervision in a calm and restorative environment. Experienced doctors prescribe treatment plans according to each guest’s condition and constitution, while the therapists are highly trained and perform every procedure with genuine care and skill.
