Rejuvenation Therapy (Rasayana Chikilsa)
Manaltheeram’s Rasayana package — oil massage by two therapists, rejuvenation medicines and a steam bath — sold as seven or fourteen nights.
What this actually is
The programme
- Accommodation in the room category booked
- Daily Ayurvedic treatments as per the package
- Ayurvedic vegetarian full board, from an individual diet menu
- Initial, daily and final consultation by the doctor
Rejuvenation Therapy (Rasayana Chikilsa) is package 1 of Manaltheeram’s Ayurveda Panchakarma and Rasayana packages. The tariff describes body massage with medicated oil and cream by two therapists using hands and feet, internal rejuvenation medicines and a medicated steam bath, for 90 minutes to two hours a day.
The tariff says the therapy is meant to rejuvenate mind, body and soul, tone the skin and strengthen the whole system. The consulting doctor takes the final decision on the programme, and its length — and so the price — can change on the doctor’s direction.
Is this your kind of stay?
Who it suits — and who it doesn’t
Travel-planning guidance. Medical suitability is for your own doctor and the qualified team at the property.
Consider this if
- A first Ayurveda stay — the package is sold from seven nights
- Rest and restoration rather than a full Panchakarma cleanse
Consider another option if
- Children under 12 — the tariff states that, as an Ayurveda hospital, it does not recommend them unless the doctors advise admission

Where you stay
Soma Manaltheeram Ayurveda Beach Village
The Somatheeram group’s beach-level Ayurveda hospital at Chowara: thatched mud-and-brick cottages among the palms, most with a sea view, and the same doctor-led packages as Somatheeram.
Worth knowing: The whole booking is paid in advance, and cancelling within 30 days of arrival costs all of it. A specific room costs 5% more and rooms are assigned by medical need first. A €60 per person supplement applies on 31 December, and the tariff does not recommend it for children under 12 unless the doctors advise admission.

Make a trip of it
Before, during and after your 14 nights
The excursions and extra stays we arrange in Kerala, placed by when to take each — a good day out on the wrong day of a treatment course is not a good day out.
Before you begin
Arrive early — see the country while you are fresh
Extra stay · 3 nights
Kochi & the backwaters
The obvious and correct opener: fort Kochi, a barge night, and an unhurried arrival into the time zone before anyone takes your pulse.
Nature · Overnight, or a half day
A night on the backwaters
A converted rice barge from Alleppey through the Kuttanad channels. The overnight is worth it; the three-hour version is a queue of identical boats.
Culture · Full day
Fort Kochi and Mattancherry
The Chinese fishing nets, the Paradesi synagogue, the Dutch Palace murals and a spice-market walk. Five hundred years of Portuguese, Dutch and Jewish Kochi in one walkable afternoon.
During the stay
Light enough for a rest day or a free afternoon
Rejuvenation Therapy (Rasayana Chikilsa) · 14 nights at Soma Manaltheeram Ayurveda Beach VillageCulture · 3 hours
Kathakali, properly
Arrive an hour early to watch the make-up go on — it is the better half. Ask us for the Kochi hall that still plays to Malayali audiences rather than the tourist matinée.
Culture · 2 hours
The oil kitchen and the pharmacy
At the houses that still compound their own preparations, ask to be shown the room. Most will say yes and few guests think to ask. It is the single most convincing hour of the fortnight.
After you finish
The reward, once the treatment is done
Extra stay · 5 nights
The Golden Triangle
Delhi, Agra and Jaipur on the way home. Long flights internally and worth every one of them if it is a first trip to India.
Extra stay · 4 nights
Tamil Nadu temples
Madurai, Thanjavur and Chettinad — the living Dravidian south, three hours east and a different civilisation.
Nature · Full day, or two nights
A tea estate day in Munnar
Four hours up from Kochi into the Western Ghats at 1,600 m. Genuinely cold, entirely different country. Too far and too long for a treatment rest day — take it before or after.
Nature · Two nights
Periyar, for the elephants
A tiger reserve where you will not see a tiger and will see elephant, gaur and hornbill. A boat on the lake at dawn is the version worth doing.
