Rooms & Cottages
Soma Palmshore offers 18 Standard Double Rooms, 15 Deluxe Double Rooms, and 2 Cottages, all with balconies overlooking the beach. Rooms include a private sun deck, satellite TV with 100 channels, and hot & cold running water. The cottages feature separate living and dining areas, bathtubs, and direct sea views.
Ayurveda & Yoga
The resort specializes in Ayurvedic treatments, including Panchakarma detox, Rejuvenation Therapy, and Stress Management. Daily yoga classes are held in two dedicated halls and an open-air platform. Treatments begin with a consultation based on the three doshas (Vata, Pitta, Kapha).
Dining & Cuisine
The open-air restaurant serves Ayurvedic vegetarian meals, with candlelight dinners on themed nights. Dishes are tailored to individual dietary needs based on treatment plans. Ingredients are sourced locally, including spices and herbs from nearby tribal cooperatives.
Location & Access
The resort is on Kovalam's Lighthouse Beach, 15 km from Thiruvananthapuram International Airport. Nearby landmarks include Vizhinjam Lighthouse (0.5 km), Halcyon Castle (2 km), and Adimalathura Beach (0.5 km). Airport transfers are included in treatment packages.
Eco Initiatives
Soma Palmshore recycles water via a sewage treatment plant for gardening. The property avoids plastic, uses solar energy, and sources herbs from an on-site garden with 600+ Kerala plant varieties. Weekly beach cleanups are organized for staff and guests.
“In my opinion, this is a very good option for travelers wanting a relaxing holiday. The hotel's commitment to authentic Ayurvedic treatments, overseen by medical experts, feels like its strongest suit. I think the private beach and curated wellness retreats seal the deal for health-conscious visitors to Kovalam.”
