Discover Mekosha: Boutique Wellness Retreat

Mekosha is an affordable luxury wellness resort near Varkala Beach in Kerala. It offers Ayurveda, yoga, meditation, in-room massage and gourmet food.​

Affordable Luxury Wellness Resort

Mekosha is arguably the most affordable luxury wellness resort in Kerala. It offers panchakarma, plated gourmet meals, and 5-star quality rooms. 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.​

What we love about Mekosha

✓ Gourmet Ayurvedic food
✓ 
Beautiful 5-star quality suites
✓ Super comfortable beds
✓ 
300 thread count linens
✓ Westin quality pillows 
✓ Chicken & seafood available
✓ Not crowded or noisy

The Ayurvedic food at Mekosha is truly gourmet. The chef's open kitchen policy is inviting. It creates the opportunity for guests to learn how to cook Ayurvedic food and even make tantalizing sweets.  At the price point Mekosha charges, no other resort in India offers accommodations of the same size and quality. The beds are super comfortable. 300 thread count lines and Westin quality pillows. Chicken and seafood dishes are available for a surcharge but can only be consumed in your room. Every room at Mekosha has a Western massage table for in-room spa treatments. Every room has a French Press for making your own coffee or tea. High quality coffee grounds are provided. A mini library is provided in your room, in case you forget to bring a book. 

You should know

  • It takes one hour to reach Mekosha from the airport in Trivandrum, the capital city of Kerala. 
  • The famous Varkala Beach is only 20 minutes from Mekosha and trips to the beach are facilitated. 
  • There are only 11 rooms at Mekosha. The resort is thus very private and very quiet.
  • All the therapies are conducted by a single Ayurvedic therapist and somewhat less satisfying than the double therapist model of Ayurvedic treatment.
  • There is no television anywhere on the property but there is wifi, so you can stream movies to your phone or tablet.  

In-room treatments

Every room at Mekosha is called a “spa suite” because it combines a spa treatment room with the luxury and comforts of a suite. Wellness guests usually receive at least one in-room treatment per day. This provides the flexibility and freedom to fall asleep on the massage table or crawl into bed immediately after a  relaxing treatment.  This feature is very rare among health resorts in India and, where available, it usually costs several times the rates that Mekosha charges.

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.  
2) What are the meal timings? 
Meal timings are flexible. However, Ayurvedic doctors generally encourage people to adopt the habit of eating meals at a fixed times everyday, insofar as possible. 

At Mekosha, the following meal timings are generally observed:

Breakfast is available from 7:30 am to 11:00 am.

Lunch is served from 12:30 pm to 2:30 pm.

Dinner is available from 7:00 pm to 9:00 pm.

Mekosha also has a room service menu, which includes chicken, seafood, and vegetarian dishes. Items ordered from the room service menu are chargeable. 

A kettle and a french press are provided in your suite, along with ground coffee and an assortment of caffeinated tea as well as  and caffeine-free herbal tea. 
3) What are the yoga timings?
Yoga is conducted everyday at 5:00 pm, followed by guided meditation at 6 pm. 

You do not need to bring or wear any special clothing for yoga. Shorts, track pants or any other loose and comfortable clothing that will allow you to stretch is recommended.

5) What is the treatment schedule like at Mekosha?
Every guest at Mekosha is given a personalized treatment schedule. There is a great deal of flexibility at Mekosha and generally you can request certain timings of treatments as per your preferences. You can request the doctor to schedule your treatments in such a manner that they do not conflict with yoga, meditation, and/or your preferred meal timings. 

Therapists at Mekosha are generally available from 7:00 am to 7:00 pm. In some case, the therapists will stay later, as and when requested to do so (by the doctor). 

On certain days during an Ayurveda program, it may be necessary to start treatments very early in the morning, prior to breakfast or medication for a particular purpose, such as virechana (purgation).
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.
