About the Center

Soma Palmshore is part of the Somatheeram Ayurveda Group, founded by Mr. Baby Mathew in 1985. A pioneer in introducing Ayurveda to international guests, he created the concept of combining authentic Ayurvedic healing with a resort environment, establishing Somatheeram as one of the world's first Ayurveda resorts. Soma Palmshore continues this legacy by offering traditional Ayurvedic treatments alongside a relaxed beachfront holiday experience.

Set amidst lush greenery overlooking the Arabian Sea, the resort features Kerala-style cottages with tiled roofs, wooden elements and open spaces designed to harmonize with the natural surroundings. The property’s architecture focuses on simplicity, comfort and a close connection with nature, with landscaped gardens, coconut palms and open-air spaces creating a peaceful environment for healing.

Unlike the palace-inspired Ayurvedic experiences of AyurSoma, Soma Palmshore offers a more laid-back retreat feel where guests can combine the full range of Ayurveda treatments with a beach holiday ambience. Yoga too, is an integral part of the holistic wellness experience. With beachfront yoga halls and open spaces, the resort offers daily yoga and meditation sessions as well as specialized yoga retreats.

Guests can also experience the essence of Kerala alongside their healing journey through traditional cultural performances, yoga and meditation sessions, Ayurvedic cooking demonstrations, herbal garden visits and authentic Kerala cuisine experiences. Excursions to nearby beaches, villages and backwaters can also be arranged to connect guests with the region’s natural beauty, creating a wellness experience beyond treatments.

Like its sister properties, Soma Palmshore also follows the Somatheeram Group’s commitment to responsible tourism through sustainable practices such as organic farming for fresh Ayurvedic meals, rainwater harvesting, responsible water management, waste segregation and recycling. The resort also maintains herbal gardens, preserves the surrounding natural ecosystem, and supports local communities through regional sourcing and employment opportunities.
