Discover the Tastes of Kerala
Sampling the extraordinary variety
of Kerala cuisine is an wonderful
experience for food lovers,
influenced as it is by tradition,
the vegetation, the aquatic wealth
and climatic conditions. Coconut
grows abundantly in the state, and
is used in many dishes. In fact the
name Kerala has its origins from the
word 'Kera', which means coconut. So
Kerala is literally 'the Land of
Coconuts'.
Puttu, Idiyappam and Vellayappam are
breakfast delicacies made from rice
powder. They are usually had with
Kadala curry (Chana or Chick Pea
curry) and vegetarian dishes like
Avial, Olan and Koottu Curry. These
are very special to the state, and
make abundant use of the wide
variety of fresh vegetables found
here, and of-course the coconut!
Being a coastal region, Kerala is
blessed with variety of seafood and
an abundance of fresh water fish
too. Karimeen are wonderfully tasty,
and the shrimp are simply divine
either in curries or simply with
garlic butter. Tapioca and fish
curry is a favorite dish for the
common man. Originally thought of as
a 'Poor mans meal', it's now common
to find it on the pages of any five
star menu worth its salt!! A wide
variety of fish curries and fries
are also part of the region's
cuisine.
A special menu is available for
guests who wish to discover the
delightful tastes of Kerala. Just
ask, and chef will be delighted to
discuss his favorites with you!

Ayurveda
Ayurveda (the science of life and
longevity) is not only the ancient
form of preventative healing but
also a philosophy of living and
staying in harmony with nature.
Rarely treating symptoms, Ayurveda
cures by removing the cause of
disease. The belief of Ayurveda is
that transgressions against Nature's
law and against our own inner wisdom
are causes of all diseases. Ayurveda
removes the cause of disease by
correcting these transgressions and
re-establishing balance to our
system .The diagnosis of the human
body’s three humors or Doshas – vata,
pitta and kapha (air, fire and
water), to achieve the right balance
of the body is central to philosophy
of Ayurveda. It is from these doshas
that our individual constitution or
Prakriti is formed.
Ayurveda bestows mankind with the
bliss of life and perpetuates life
by it's virtue.
Ayurvedic Treatment
The treatment consists of specific
combinations of herbal oil massages,
steam baths, yoga, meditation and
well-prepared vegetarian ayurvedic
diet. An extensive consultation with
an experienced Ayurvedic physician
at the start of the program is
conducted and a tailor made package
developed, based on each
individual’s constitution or
Prakriti.
The various packages offered are:
·
Detoxification/Rejuvenation
To repair the worn out tissues,
improve blood circulation, stop
premature ageing, eliminate toxins
from your system and preserve a
glowing wrinkle free skin.
·
De-stress
Aimed at remove stress and strain
and enable one to lead a fatigue
free life.
·

massage and yoga to enable losing
excess weight and provide healthy
life style choices to maintain a
stream lined body.
·

Ayurvedic Massages
·
SUKHA MASSAGE lasts for
about 60 to 75 minutes. It is an
excellent blend of Ayurveda, Yoga
and Marma. Special medicated oils
made from vegetable oils and several
medicinal herbs are used in Sukha
Massage. This massage is excellent
for physical relaxation. Muscles
respond and relax, blood vessels
dilate and the circulation rate of
the blood increases substantially.
Increased oxygen rich blood supply
to your brain will open up the
hidden powers in you.
·
RAKSHA MASSAGE is a
holistic healing and rejuvenating
massage combining Ayurveda, Kalari,
Marma and Yoga. This is a
three-dimensional medical approach
of Physical, Mental and Spiritual
aspects. This massage takes about 90
minutes and is carried out by two
persons simultaneously. They use
medicated oils in copious quantities
and you will soon find yourself
covered from head to toe. The oils’
fascinating scent itself is
rejuvenating. The massage is
concluded by the application of warm
oil using powdered medicinal herbs
that is simply an unforgettable
experience! Highly recommended.
·
KUTCHA MASSAGE is
particularly intended for
flexibility and endurance. For those
who practice martial arts, sports,
dance and games, this is the best
form of Ayurvedic massage combined
with Kalari techniques. In this
massage, the Masseur massages your
body with his feet, suspending
himself from a rope fixed to the
roof. The movement of the feet is
effectively coordinated to apply the
right amount of pressure where the
body needs. This form of massage is
very ancient and traditional in
India.
Massages are followed by a steam
bath, the oil on the body is wiped
away and you can then relax on the
balcony of the massage parlor,
watching the beautiful Periyar
river. Those will be the most
exhilarating few minutes of your
life!
