Rejuvenation or Body Purification Therapy
Soma Palmshore’s Ayurveda package at Kovalam — Rejuvenation or Purification with treatment and full board — from seven nights.
What this actually is
The programme
- Accommodation in a sea-facing room of the category booked
- Ayurveda treatments as per the package
- Ayurvedic vegetarian full board
- Daily yoga and meditation, complimentary
Package 1 at Soma Palmshore is sold as Rejuvenation Therapy or Body Purification Therapy at the same rates, with accommodation, Ayurveda treatments as per the package and Ayurvedic vegetarian full board, per its 2026–27 tariff.
The Somatheeram group describes Rejuvenation as oil massage by two therapists with rejuvenation medicines and a steam bath, and Body Purification as Panchakarma-based treatment with internal herbal medicines; the house’s doctor sets the treatment.
Is this your kind of stay?
Who it suits — and who it doesn’t
Travel-planning guidance. Medical suitability is for your own doctor and the qualified team at the property.
Consider this if
- A first week of Ayurveda combined with Kovalam’s beach
Consider another option if
- Anyone wanting a strictly hospital-first regime — the package tariff does not set out daily doctor’s consultations

Where you stay
Soma Palmshore
The Somatheeram group’s house at Kovalam itself, on the cliffs along Lighthouse Road: three categories of sea-facing rooms, with Ayurveda packages from seven nights or a room on breakfast.
Worth knowing: It is a beach resort with an Ayurveda hospital rather than a hospital first: the package tariff lists treatment, Ayurvedic full board and complimentary yoga, but not the daily doctor’s consultations its sister houses spell out. Stays from November to February must be paid in full, and Christmas and New Year gala dinners are mandatory.
The full profileWho looks after you
Supervision, by qualification and number
Teams are described by role and qualification rather than by name, because staffing changes. The property confirms the current team and how practitioners are assigned before or on arrival.
- Clinical supervision
- The tariff lists an Ayurveda hospital and a doctor on call among the amenities; it does not set out a consultation schedule for its packages.
- The team around you
- The tariff does not publish staff numbers.
- Consultations
- Not set out in the package tariff; we confirm the schedule with the house before you book.
Make a trip of it
Before, during and after your 7 nights
The excursions and extra stays we arrange in Kerala, placed by when to take each — a good day out on the wrong day of a treatment course is not a good day out.
Before you begin
Arrive early — see the country while you are fresh
Extra stay · 3 nights
Kochi & the backwaters
The obvious and correct opener: fort Kochi, a barge night, and an unhurried arrival into the time zone before anyone takes your pulse.
Nature · Overnight, or a half day
A night on the backwaters
A converted rice barge from Alleppey through the Kuttanad channels. The overnight is worth it; the three-hour version is a queue of identical boats.
Culture · Full day
Fort Kochi and Mattancherry
The Chinese fishing nets, the Paradesi synagogue, the Dutch Palace murals and a spice-market walk. Five hundred years of Portuguese, Dutch and Jewish Kochi in one walkable afternoon.
During the stay
Light enough for a rest day or a free afternoon
Rejuvenation or Body Purification Therapy · 7 nights at Soma PalmshoreCulture · 3 hours
Kathakali, properly
Arrive an hour early to watch the make-up go on — it is the better half. Ask us for the Kochi hall that still plays to Malayali audiences rather than the tourist matinée.
Culture · 2 hours
The oil kitchen and the pharmacy
At the houses that still compound their own preparations, ask to be shown the room. Most will say yes and few guests think to ask. It is the single most convincing hour of the fortnight.
After you finish
The reward, once the treatment is done
Extra stay · 5 nights
The Golden Triangle
Delhi, Agra and Jaipur on the way home. Long flights internally and worth every one of them if it is a first trip to India.
Extra stay · 4 nights
Tamil Nadu temples
Madurai, Thanjavur and Chettinad — the living Dravidian south, three hours east and a different civilisation.
Nature · Full day, or two nights
A tea estate day in Munnar
Four hours up from Kochi into the Western Ghats at 1,600 m. Genuinely cold, entirely different country. Too far and too long for a treatment rest day — take it before or after.
Nature · Two nights
Periyar, for the elephants
A tiger reserve where you will not see a tiger and will see elephant, gaur and hornbill. A boat on the lake at dawn is the version worth doing.
