Niraamaya Wellness Retreats Backwaters and Beyond Kumarakom

The ambience and room I had at Niraamaya was very very peaceful, relaxing, and rejuvenating. I also was fortunate enough to get great yoga instruction from Athul Krishnan. He was very disciplined and on time always. He allowed me to learn a variety of different yoga maneuvers, breathing exercises and I felt like I was pampered. His voice was radiating and his demeanor was always personable. I highly recommend him as an outstanding yoga teacher. Ajaysh was my masseuse and he was extremely thorough, diligent and explained the variety of different oils and medicinal herbs that were utilized. He did an amazing job in also helping me clear up my sinuses. I highly recommend his as a masseuse. Dr. Anjali was great in giving medicinal advice as well. The kitchen staff and chef were amazing and provided excellent tasting and nutritious food. I felt very relaxed and was able to de-stress and had an amazing experience.

We booked a lake view pool villa for our stay for this weekend, we had a great relaxing time with our family after a very very long time. Thanks to the staff who made our stay as comfortable and enjoyable as possible. We will surely relish the memory of staying there

The perfect holiday- serene surroundings, one with nature, comfortable rooms, amazing food and superlative staff taking care of you!!! Thank you Joemon and the entire staff- Sajeesh, Gautam, Prasumna for making our holiday memorable filled with special moments. The tasty Kerala delicacies by the chef , the fun hi tea get together with kite flying & the geese and the spa, all make for the ideal getaway. The caring staff to make sure all your needs are met , stems from the open and helpful nature of the higher ups like Joemon. A big big thank you from us

Here for a family vacation with my elderly parents to visit my father's home town. We checked in late on the first night. There is about 20 stairs from the front entrance to the check in area. The elevator wasn't working. I told the hotel well ahead of time that my parents have limited mobility. There isn't any assistance to help them out to their room from the dining area and the lobby which is 75 meters away. When we get to the room I see my father crawling up the stairs because there is no railing or anything else to hold on to. I ask the manager if they have any railings or if there is any way to help reduce a fall risk and the manager was quite unhelpful. When we got to dinner where 3 tables were occupied, I ask for something quick to get for my small children. I figure chicken nuggets and pappadam would be the fastest thing. After 45 minutes minutes, I ask the waiter if they are ready yet, another 15 minutes before the nuggets came out. Yes, that's right 60 minutes before frozen fried chicken nuggets were ready. The rest of the theyal, thorin, meen curry and dhal came out another 20 minutes later. It's a shame because the staff are nice and the property is beautiful. I just would expect more basic care for guest needs, especially at this price point.

My husband and I had a great experience with Niraamaya Kovalam Resort in February 2023 and so decided to try their Kumarakom location this year. We weren’t disappointed, and found the same beautiful surroundings, personalized service and comfortable accommodations as on our previous experience. Our private lake-view villa with small pool was the perfect getaway from India’s large, crowded cities. I enjoyed the Ayurveda massages on a near-daily basis, while my husband appreciated the range of western and Indian dishes in the restaurant. We’d like to give a special shoutout to Prasanna, Restaurant Supervisor, and Habilash, Housekeeping Supervisor, both of whom contributed greatly to making our stay comfortable. Although relaxing and enjoying the tranquil beauty of Kumarakom was our main purpose, we were also able to visit the centuries-old Hindu temples of Ettumanoor and Vaikom within a short drive of an hour or less, and take a leisurely boat trip to sites located on Lake Vembanad. We will definitely be back to Kerala and look forward to visiting Niraamaya’s other locations.

My experience was great. The yoga teacher we had was amazing . We are going to plan to come again in October just because of yoga teacher and the services in kitchen we received. I want to say thank you to Atul Krishna and doctor Anjali.chef Arun sundram was very nice to.
