Rockholm Ayurveda Beach Retreat

Rockholm Ayurveda Beach Retreat — a cozy beach resort in the picturesque coastal town of Kovalam, just 22 km from Kerala's capital, Trivandrum. With palm-fringed beaches, a relaxing atmosphere, and authentic Ayurveda, this place is ideal for those seeking harmony of body and spirit.

Once, in the 1980s, Rockholm was a prestigious seaside hotel, but it has now been transformed into a tranquil retreat inspired by Ayurveda and yoga. There are only 23 rooms here, decorated in an Art Deco style with eco-friendly design elements. The resort has retained its historic charm, complementing it with modern comfort and guest care.

Rockholm Ayurvedic Centre: Traditional healing in harmony with nature

The Rockholm Ayurvedic Centre is styled in a classical manner, following ancient healing principles. Guests have at their disposal:

• 4 spacious, naturally lit, sea-view treatment rooms;
• Steam bath;
• Chief Physician's Office;
• A herb garden with medicinal plants.

Every week, Ayurvedic doctors conduct garden tours, explaining the properties of plants and their use in treatment. Guests can even plant their own medicinal plant and take it home later.

Personalised approach to health

Before starting therapy, doctors conduct detailed diagnostics:

• Review of the medical history;
• Examination and palpation according to Ayurvedic canons.;
• Analysis of doshic imbalance (Vikruti) and body constitution (Prakruti).

Based on this data, a personalised detox and recovery programme is created. The treatment is accompanied by a special diet tailored to the guest's needs. All procedures and preparations comply with GMP and ISO standards, including both traditional Ayurvedic formulations and modern forms (capsules, extracts).
