Carnoustie Ayurveda & Wellness Resort
About
Set along the shores of the Arabian Sea in Kerala, the birthplace of Ayurveda and the cradle of ancient yoga, Marma and Kalaripayattu traditions, Carnoustie Ayurveda & Wellness Resort is surrounded by the tranquility of nature. Spread across 25 acres of landscaped gardens, the resort combines the restorative traditions of Ayurveda with the natural beauty and cultural richness of Kerala, creating a peaceful setting for physical, emotional and spiritual wellbeing.
Wellness is at the heart of the experience at Carnoustie. The resort offers a range of personalized Ayurveda and wellness retreats focusing on detoxification, weight management, rejuvenation, stress management and healthy ageing. The programmes are complemented by yoga and time spent in nature, allowing guests to step away from everyday routines and follow a slower, more mindful rhythm during their stay.
Food forms an integral part of the Ayurvedic experience at Carnoustie. Each guest's meals are individually planned following a consultation with the Ayurvedic doctors and nutritional experts, considering their unique constitution or Prakruti, and designed to complement their chosen wellness programme.
For a more leisurely dining experience, CHIMAERA offers a selection of regional seafood specialties, while IDA serves a variety of multi-cuisine dishes for those looking for familiar flavours.
The natural surroundings offer plenty of opportunities for relaxation and exploration. Guests can unwind on the resort's quiet stretch of beach, take a canoe along the waterways, enjoy the swimming pool or explore the famous Kerala backwaters aboard the resort's luxurious houseboat. Cycling and village walks provide a closer connection with the surrounding landscape and local way of life, while the expansive gardens offer peaceful spaces to rest and reconnect with nature.
The experience extends beyond wellness to the rich cultural heritage of Kerala. Traditional art and dance performances by local artists, accompanied by the rhythmic sounds of Kerala's percussion music, bring the region's traditions to life. Guests can also explore local village life by bicycle or discover the architectural and cultural heritage of the early Jewish and Colonial settlements of Fort Kochi.
Early morning beachside yoga provides a particularly peaceful way to begin the day, surrounded by the sound of the sea and the natural beauty of the coastline. With its combination of traditional healing, nature, cultural experiences and a peaceful coastal setting, Carnoustie offers a considered approach to wellness that allows guests to restore the body, quieten the mind and reconnect with themselves.
Please note that alcohol is not served at Carnoustie Ayurveda & Wellness Resort.
