SOUTH INDIA - Kerala, Kollengode
Can there be a royal road to deep healing? We believe there can. Kalari Kovilakom is the Palace for Ayurveda, perhaps the first and only one of its kind. It offers intensive programmes in wellness based this ancient Indian science. And it offers them in a magnificent palatial setting that took years of restoration to create. Yet, Kalari Kovilakom gives you something infinitely more valuable. A chance to begin your life all over again.
At Kalari, every therapy is personal. Our treatments are individually developed for you by our doctors, often combined with yoga and other methods to provide deep-seated, lasting change from within. There are no game rooms, no shopping expeditions, no television sets. The evenings are alive with chanting and hymns, unsullied by the sounds of the city. You are in a space like no other on earth that we know of.
Kalari Kovilakom was built in the 19th century. It was the erstwhile palace of the Vengunad Kingdom and has now been converted into a palace for Ayurveda. Today, Kalari Kovilakom has been refurbished and restored into a unique Ayurveda resort. There are 18 palatial suites- Old Guest Wing and Palace Wing- which offers the experience of authentic palace wing. While the Old Guest Wing features 20’s colonial Western styled rooms, the Palace Wing exhibits traditional Kerala architecture. Besides, there is an Ayurvedic Kitchen where food is served on the basis of therapies, treatments and constitution among others. The Ayurvedic treatment rooms can accommodate 10 people simultaneously. There are extensive spaces for music and cultural performances.
