| A signature feature of Surya Samudra Private Retreats is ‘Spa Nirmaaya’ a perfect place to optimise your well being. Authentic Ayurveda therapies, Swedish messages and reflexology are offered to rejuvenate body, mind and soul. An interesting innovation is the specially designed Jetlag therapy for globetrotting travellers. Surya Samudra Kovalam also has much to keep guests entertained and occupied. Yoga sessions are conducted by a professional instructor, and there is the pool, hewn out of a single rock, to cool off in. The evenings are spiced with Kerala’s classical theatre, dance, music and other performing arts. Then there are specially organised tours that lead into Kerala’s hinterland: an intricate tapestry of backwaters, verdant forests, and misty mountains. The kids playroom, Kalliveedu is well stocked with indoor games and toys. Perched above this, affording a magnificent view of the sea is the Vayanashaala, a quiet library, which has Internet connected workstations too. Starting from Kovalam, Surya Samudra is paving the way to provide similar experiences through new private retreats across South and West India – Kumarakom, Wynad, Puducherry (Pondicherry), Chikmagalur, and Goa. Each designed to give aficionados of luxury travel a refreshing new way of enjoying a relaxing holiday in India, be it by the sea, in a forest, by the lake, or on a coffee estate. The private retreat at Kumarakom is due to open early in 2011. As they say, “In each world lies a new world waiting to be uncovered”. Surya Samudra Private Retreats are part of Jupiter Capital Ventures. Go Back >Visit website >Resort Map |
