“Ayurveda translates literally as ‘the science of life’ and the key to Ayurveda, India’s most ancient holistic healing system, is in treating the mind, body and spirit as one entity to ensure toatal harmony and wellbeing. A treatment might entail oil therapy, yoga, meditation and massage, and what is so wonderful is that it is all natural.” An extract from ‘Simply Ayurveda’ by authors Bharti Vyas, Jane Warren and Jeanette Ewin.
Friday’s Place is on the same river location as Poovar Island Resort and Isola Di Cocco. These are arguably the best resort ayurveda centres in the area and we are happy to arrange an ayurvedic massage experience or treatment regime with them. Alternative treatment with them and your alternative retreat with us, makes for a genuinely complete holistic experience.
The little private garden outside your verandah, shady and quiet, is ideal for yoga.
Southern Kerala and adjoining Tamil Nadu support a rich array of bird life on the coastal plain and up into the hills, the Western Ghats. Last year we had Brahminy Kites and Paraqueets nesting on our land! We are happy to arrange day trips out for the twitcher in you.
The Kerala coast one kilometre down river from us can provide good fishing off the beach. There are some rocky outcrops just up the coast at Surya Samudra and Kovalam. We fish in the river for eels and Kurimeen and even off the bridges which interconnect the cottages. The crabs make really good eating!
We now have our Explorer 200 8" Reflecting Telescope for a real close up of our starriest skys.
The evenings just get better!
