Upon arrival at Cochin International Airport, you will be warmly welcomed by our local representative and transferred to your hotel in the heritage-rich enclave of Fort Kochi. Once settled in, spend the day soaking in the old-world charm of this culturally layered port town. Begin with a visit to the iconic Chinese Fishing Nets swaying along the shoreline, followed by a stop at St. Francis Church, the oldest European church in India, steeped in colonial history. Continue to the beautifully preserved Mattancherry Palace (Dutch Palace), known for its detailed murals and royal artifacts. Later, stroll through Jew Town, an atmospheric neighborhood filled with antique shops, spice markets, and the historic Paradesi Synagogue. As evening falls, return to your hotel for a gentle sunset meditation or yoga session, offering a peaceful start to your wellness journey.
After a relaxed breakfast at your hotel, you’ll drive to Alleppey (Alappuzha), the gateway to Kerala’s famed backwaters. Here, you’ll board your private, traditional Kettuvallam houseboat, elegantly furnished for a tranquil overnight cruise through palm-fringed canals and glistening lagoons. As you glide past scenes of village life, lush paddy fields, and coconut groves, enjoy a freshly prepared Kerala-style lunch onboard. The afternoon invites quiet introspection—perhaps journaling, reading, or simply gazing at the serene waters. In the golden hour of sunset, participate in a gentle pranayama (breathwork) and relaxation session on the open-air deck. Later, savor a candlelit dinner under a starlit sky as the boat anchors for the night, enveloped in peaceful stillness.
Wake to the peaceful rhythm of the backwaters and enjoy a light breakfast as your cruise concludes. Disembark and begin your scenic drive southward along the coast to Kovalam, a serene beach town known for its tranquil beaches and strong roots in Ayurveda and yoga. Upon arrival, check in to the luxurious Niraamaya Retreats Surya Samudra, perched on a cliff with sweeping views of the Arabian Sea. After some rest and orientation at the resort, join a Sunset Yoga session, focused on restorative asanas, mindful breathing, and deep relaxation techniques an ideal way to release travel fatigue and begin your immersive wellness retreat.
Begin your day in harmony with a Sunrise Yoga session overlooking the ocean, incorporating gentle stretches, sun salutations, and mindful movement to awaken the body. After a nourishing, sattvic breakfast, deepen your connection to the practice with a Yoga for Beginners class, introducing you to fundamental postures and breathwork. The afternoon is reserved for rest and rejuvenation you may choose to journal, nap, enjoy the beach, or indulge in an authentic Ayurvedic massage tailored to your dosha. In the evening, gather for a guided meditation session, anchoring you in the present moment and cultivating a sense of grounded inner stillness.
Ease into the day with a Pranayama session, learning breath control techniques to soothe the nervous system and enhance clarity. After breakfast, take a gentle walk along the coastline or simply relax in the lush surroundings of the retreat. In the afternoon, continue your asana journey with another Yoga for Beginners session, focusing on improved flexibility, balance, and alignment. As the sun begins to set, return to your mat for a restorative Sunset Yoga practice, incorporating supported poses and guided relaxation for physical release and mental calm.
Greet the morning with an energizing Sunrise Yoga practice, awakening both body and spirit through flowing sequences and pranayama. Following breakfast, take part in a combined Pranayama & Meditation session, designed to guide you deeper into self-awareness and breath consciousness. The rest of the day is yours to enjoy optional Ayurvedic treatments, lounge by the sea, or explore the tranquil retreat grounds. In the evening, unwind with a final restorative yoga class, helping to release any stored tension and promote restful, rejuvenating sleep.
On your final full day, rise for a heart-opening Sunrise Yoga and Meditation session, designed to help integrate the physical and emotional experiences of your wellness journey. This reflective practice centers on gratitude, compassion, and inner peace. The remainder of the day is yours to spend as you wish whether in quiet rest, thoughtful journaling, or a personal Ayurvedic consultation for post-retreat guidance. In the late afternoon, participate in a final Pranayama and mindfulness meditation session, offering gentle closure and helping you carry your inner calm forward into everyday life.
On your last morning, you may choose to take a light beach walk or self-guided yoga session to gently transition from retreat mode. After a wholesome Ayurvedic breakfast, complete your check-out formalities. You will then be transferred to Trivandrum International Airport for your onward journey. Depart with a deep sense of renewal body, mind, and soul harmonized through the healing rhythms of Kerala’s nature, wellness traditions, and conscious movement.
