Set in a tantalizing environment of palm trees and bewitching blue waters and untouched by the ravages of tourism, Somatheeram gleans the essence of Kerala's exquisiteness. It comes under the Heritage category. Its accommodations are widely scattered down the contoured hills amongst the verdant coconut groves and other naturally preserved plants. Somatheeram is best known for its rejuvanating Ayurvedic treatments with its rich culture, tradition and surrounding natural grandeur.
