Kerala's Most Affordable Luxury Ayurveda Resort
Kerala's Most Affordable Luxury Ayurveda Resort
Mekosha is a boutique Ayurvedic health resort and yoga retreat on the outskirts of Trivandrum, Kerala. Every room at Mekosha is a “spa suite”, meaning that you have a private massage table in your room. This provides the comfort, flexibility and freedom to fall asleep on the massage table or crawl into bed immediately after your treatment – this feature is very rare among Ayurveda resorts in India and, where available, it usually costs several times the rates that Mekosha charges

The entire resort has only 11 suites, thus assuring each guest of privacy, quietude and special attention. One limitation, however, is that there is no television in any of the suites, although free wifi is available. Mekosha is suitable for those looking for authentic Ayurvedic treatment, 5-star quality accommodations, and a high degree of privacy and personalized hospitality.

Frequently Asked Questions
1) Do I need to carry any toiletries and bathroom accessories?
There is no need to carry your own towels or bathrobe. Mekosha provides these. They are of good quality.
Mekosha also provides soap, shampoo and conditioner. However, if you have a special brand of shampoo or other hair products that you cannot do without, then carry it with you.
Note: There is no bathtub in the bathrooms at Mekosha, so there is no need to carry bath oils or epsom salt.
The mud packs that are applied at Mekosha tend to be very strong in odour, which does not easily wash off, even after the shower. Therefore, you may wish to carry a loofah pad or a bath lily that provides for gentle exfoliation.

6) Do I need to bring a jacket or any warm clothes?
No. Kerala is very warm all year round. Resorts near Trivandrum, Kovalam, Chowara and Varkala experience tropical weather all months of the year. Rainfall is possible at any time, but it is a warm rain. Although temperatures are cooler between November and February, they are hot by Western standards. Dress lightly. Carry very light clothing that breathes easily. Jeans and denims are not recommended for Kerala.
