For the rich and famous, the Carnoustie Ayurveda & Wellness Resort has a range of wellness programmes, including Panchakarma, Yoga and anti-ageing. The expansive (and expensive!) campus and serene surroundings add to the overall appeal.

It is ideal for those who are looking for a high-end vacation with luxury villas, private pools and in-house beach. For instance, a 2-nights and 3-days stay in Mallika-Pool villa, which happens to be the cheapest lodging option at the resort, will cost you a whopping Rs 90,000!

And that’s just covers the stay. The Ayurveda programmes at the resort can cost you upwards of Rs 2 lakh.

But then, with great luxury (and mullah) comes great satisfaction. TripAdvisor review of the Carnoustie Ayurveda & Wellness Resort gives it a big thumbs up!

Somatheeram is located on the Chowara Beach, spread over a 15 acre campus, and is surrounded by lush greenery – sounds like a perfect setting for Ayurveda therapy, along with the rejuvenation of the mind and body. From therapies focusing on body purification to stress management programme, to the much revered Panchakarma therapy to Rasayana Chikilsa, they have it all covered.

But of course, all that upliftment of the body and soul doesn’t come cheap. A seven-day stay at Somatheeram will cost you anything between Rs 65,000 to a couple of lakhs, depending on the type of room and the season you are visiting in, with May to September being the cheapest, while December to Februray being the costliest.

A 14-nights package inclusive of stay, meals, consultation and chosen treatment (Panchakarma to specific treatments) may set you back at least by 1.5 lakh rupees, and for the upper budget – sky is the limit.

Users seem to have enjoyed their stay at the resort. A look at the TripAdvisor review will tell you that:
