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.
"The original dwellings of the lords and ladies of Vengunad are still yours to delight in, unchanged from times past. We restored them as authentically as we could. Then added as many modern facilities as we dared, without compromising the Palace's original character. The air-conditioning, the luxury bath fittings and the four - poster beds will certainly lull you, but they shouldn't mislead you. For Kalari offers unvarnished ayurveda, administered in its purest form, in accordance with millennia-old texts and traditions."
Kalari Kovilakom has 18 palatial suites which offer the experience of authentic palace living, each of which exhibits an array of modern amenities such as air conditioning, luxury bath fittings and four-poster beds. These suites are categorized as Old Guest Wing and Palace Wing.
The guest rooms at the Old Guest Wing exhibit the 20’s colonial Western styled guest rooms. The section was especially built for the European visitors and feature 4 poster beds and 30’s style tile flooring.
The guest rooms at the Palace Wing exhibits traditional Kerala architecture reminiscent of the ‘Zenana’. The antique swing Diwan, four poster beds, air conditioning, lovely old style bathrooms and hot & cold water are some of the features of these rooms.
