Property Overview

Perched on the scenic laterite cliffs of Varkala overlooking the Arabian Sea, Krishnatheeram Ayur Holy Beach Resort offers a soulful fusion of Ayurveda, yoga, beach serenity and mindful sustainable living. Designed in thatched‑roof cottages and ethno‑Kerala architecture, the resort is steps away from the cliffs and beach, allowing guests to awaken each morning to waves, sea breeze, and the gentle aroma of herbs from the on‑site gardens. With approx. 18‑27 rooms depending on sources, each room is crafted with warm colours, local materials like cane furnishings, ceiling fans, air‑conditioning (in some), and private bathrooms to marry comfort with simple organic charm.

Holistic wellness is central here. Yoga and meditation sessions launch the day; Ayurvedic therapies—Abhyangam, Dhara, Kizhi, medicated steam, etc.—help restore balance and relieve stress. The Ayurvedic centre (“Charaka”) is staffed by trained physicians and therapists. Dining is wholesome: the restaurant offers vegetarian, local Kerala, and international dishes, and there is earnest effort to include healthy, lighter and food guided by wellness principles.

On the sustainability front, the property retains coconut palms and local vegetation, uses thatched roofs (trad‑local building materials), open‑air restaurant views, respects local landscape (cliffside, preserving laterite cliffs), capitalises on sea breeze for natural ventilation, offers minimal plastic/waste‑mindful operations (some reviews mention ecological architecture).

The stay experience is relaxing and intimate: beach walks, watching sunsets, yoga by the sea/terrace, sea‑sound lullabies at night. Unique design features include thatched‑roof cottages, cane furniture, a layout hugging the cliff so sea views are omnipresent, open terraces or lounges with ocean outlook. For someone wanting a quieter, nature‑infused Ayurvedic healing escape by the sea, this is a strong choice.
