Kalari Kovilakom

In the evergreen tropical heartland of the Union State Kerala, designed as Palace for Ayurveda with Perfection and without compromise. On arrival the guest will feel moving back to a bygone era: Kalari Kovilakom was once the residence of King Vengunad and Queen Dhaatri Valiya Rani (1890). A traditional old wood palace, antique furniture, hallways with exotic woods and beautiful paintings still bear witness to the glamorous era. This is also the ancient place of Kalari, the training centre of Kerala`s unique martial art Kalaripayattu. Due to the efforts by the queen the cultural ethos of Kalari is preserved and followed as is the thousand years old Ayurvedic tradition.

The carefully and elaborately restored palace property represents a unique combination of two extremes: Discreet luxury with thriftiness, in order to harmonise the external material world with the inner spiritual world. Luxury is situated in the simplicity of the things, as "less" means actually "more" as the fascination we are looking for already exists in the hidden. Therefore the luxurious ambience of the palaces meets the simplicity of an Ashram. The oasis amidst profuse nature will also not be disrupted through modern influences as TV, music player etc.

Experience the holistic healing method of Ayurveda, completed by Yoga and Meditation, where nothing is conceived, devised, diluted or packed. Wake up before sunrise, give yourself time for deployment of your senses for your thoughts, for reading or just for doing nothing.
