An Amazing and Memorable Stay at Niraamaya Wellness Retreats, Kovalam
My wife and I had an absolutely amazing time at Niraamaya Wellness Retreats in Kovalam, Kerala. From the moment we arrived, we were made to feel welcome, cared for and truly looked after. The resort itself is beautiful and peaceful. Although there is a new port being developed on one side of the resort, this did not take away from the wonderful experience we had during our stay. The wellness treatments were absolutely wonderful. We had the pleasure of being treated by Hina and Sham, and we also had consultations with Dr. Lekhshmi both before and during our stay. All three were incredibly caring, polite, positive and professional. Their warmth and genuine concern made the treatments and our overall wellness experience even more special. The choice and quality of food was also excellent, with plenty of variety and everything we tasted being delicious. The restaurant hospitality team — Branchit, Pooja, Sherry and Swami — were exceptional. Nothing was ever too much trouble, and their friendly and attentive service made every meal a pleasure. There were also some particularly memorable personal touches. I celebrated my birthday during our stay, and the team organised a lovely cake-cutting celebration for me. On our final meal, they surprised us with a wonderful Bon Voyage cake, which was such a thoughtful way to end our stay. We also had the opportunity to take part in a one-hour cooking masterclass with the chef Rudresh and two team members ( sorry we can’t recall their names ) It was great fun and another experience that added to the many happy memories we created. Our time at Niraamaya was so much more than simply a holiday. It was a time to relax, recharge, enjoy wonderful treatments and food, and experience genuine Kerala hospitality. We leave with very happy memories and enormous appreciation for everyone who made our stay so special. A heartfelt thank you to the entire team — we hope to return one day! Anil & Sheila Malhotra X
The place was amazing with good beach views and clean rooms. It’s fully immersed in nature with greenery all over. The restaurant was amazing and food was getting restocked almost immediately. The room service was mostly on time barring a couple of times in my 4 days stay. The staff were super accommodating and were very helpful and always pleasant with all of us. All in all excellent experience (except for the two lizards in my room 😬)
All in All, everything, atmosphere, aura, calmness, entertainment, food, caring, hospitality.
A perfect place for wellness, peacse and move away from this busy high pace rinning world
An exceptional stay at Niraamaya Retreats! The spa treatments were incredibly relaxing, and Dr. Lekshmi’s hospitality made the experience truly special. Highly recommended!"
