Property Overview 

Nestled on the foothills of the Western Ghats in Malayatoor, Kerala, Vajra Ayurveda is a sanctuary of holistic wellness, blending ancient healing traditions with sustainable, eco‑sensitive design. Surrounded by verdant hills, spice groves, and winding streams, the resort offers a quiet retreat from urban life while remaining accessible to major transport hubs. At Vajra, every element is orchestrated around the principles of balance, rejuvenation, and mindful living.

The architecture is inspired by traditional Kerala aesthetics, with sloping roofs, local laterite walls, timber elements, and open courtyards that encourage natural ventilation and daylight. The resort comprises private villas and wellness cottages, each designed to harmonize with the landscape and minimize ecological impact. Lush gardens, herbal groves, and walking trails wind through the property, creating a seamless connection with nature.

Guests are invited into an immersive wellness experience: daily yoga and meditation sessions, Ayurvedic diagnostics and treatments under the guidance of experienced Vaidyas, and organic, farm‑to‑plate cuisine adapted to individual doshas. Sustainable features such as rainwater harvesting, solar energy usage, zero‑plastic zones, composting and organic farming reinforce Vajra’s commitment to environmental integrity. Whether you seek detox, stress relief, spiritual reset, or simply a slow, healing getaway, Vajra Ayurveda offers a deeply restorative stay.

The property also provides in‑house amenities such as yoga halls, meditation pavilions, herbal therapy rooms, a spa, nature trails, and communal wellness spaces—all with a design ethos that fuses simplicity, authenticity, and respect for the environment.
