Somatheeram Ayurveda Village is a three star resort outside Neyyattinkara in Thiruvananthapuram district, South Kerala, close to Kovalam and the coast. It has a private beach, outdoor pool, spa, massage, yoga and a restaurant, with a guest score of 4.5 out of 5 from 155 reviews. The deciding factor is whether you want a self contained coastal base with organised facilities rather than a town centre hotel.
What the resort provides
Somatheeram Ayurveda Village is a three star property with a long list of facilities. For meals and refreshment there is a restaurant, breakfast, room service and special diet menus. For relaxation there are massage, a spa, yoga, a beauty salon, a garden and an outdoor pool. The private beach and water sports are on site or close by.

There is free WiFi, air conditioning, non smoking rooms and wheelchair accessible facilities. Free parking and valet parking are available. The guest score stands at 4.5 out of 5 from 155 reviews.
Where the resort sits
The property is outside Neyyattinkara, in the wider Thiruvananthapuram district, South Kerala. Neyyattinkara is a town in Thiruvananthapuram district, and the resort is 6.4 km from the centre of Neyyattinkara. It is on the coast, by the sea, and 5.6 km from Kovalam.
Kovalam is a coast destination at 0 to 20 m altitude. It has three coves under a headland and a lighthouse, fifteen kilometres from the state capital and its airport. The beach that started Kerala tourism, and still the easiest sea in the state to reach from a plane.
Who suits a stay here
The resort suits travellers who want a resort with a private beach, pool, spa and yoga, and who do not mind being outside a town centre. It does not suit those who want to be in the middle of Kovalam or Neyyattinkara, or who prefer a small independent guesthouse. The reason is simple: the facilities and setting point to a self contained coastal stay.
Planning your stay
The best season is November to March. The sea is not swimmable in the southwest monsoon and the flags mean it. The resort works as an arrival or a decompression stop rather than a two week base. Thiruvananthapuram, its museums and Padmanabhaswamy temple are a half hour away, and the coves are separate beaches with separate characters.
What the property lists
Where it is
