Neeleshwar Hermitage
India, Indian SubcontinentPeaceful, stylish and slightly bohemian, Neeleshwar Hermitage is an intimate resort that provides the perfect serene space for a wellness retreat. Containing just 18 thatched cottages, this is the place to come for those who are seeking some privacy and seclusion. Built using local materials and techniques, it is an eco-friendly retreat where rainwater is harvested, solar energy is used and natural waste recycled; if you want to reconnect with nature and bask in its restorative benefits, Neeleshwar Hermitage is the perfect place to do so.
Ayurveda is the focus here with plenty of different Ayurvedic treatments on offer, however fitness, detox, and more are all available too and make up the impressive wellness offering. While the spa may be small, it is certainly perfectly formed and offers the ideal space to unwind, exuding a tranquil atmosphere that makes the relaxing treatments even more blissful. When not at the spa there is plenty more to be enjoyed at Neeleshwar, with a range of activities available to stimulate both the body and mind, with yoga and meditation being particular specialities of the resort.
Beyond wellness, Neeleshwar also provides the opportunity to learn more about India and the local area, celebrating the local community by offering Keralan cookery classes and cultural talks. Set in a fantastic location right by the sea, this really is the place to come to escape from it all, heal your mind, body, and soul, and reconnect with nature.

Step into the spa and enter a serene space that has been designed with your relaxation in mind. You will find all manner of treatments on offer, with Ayurveda being the speciality here - once your dosha type has been identified you will be offered a range of treatments that will be most beneficial to you, such as Smruthi where hot oil is dripped on your forehead, or Sharirananda, a blissful four-handed massage. The likes of more conventional and beautifying treatments are also available, including facials, body scrubs, and pedicures.
Mouth-watering dishes combining Indian, Middle Eastern and European influences are whipped up by the talented chef. Expect fresh ingredients and flavour-rich dishes served in the al fresco seafood restaurant Meenakshi or inside in Annapurna, which serves a predominantly vegetarian menu. The resort also offers a meeting table so solo travellers who do not wish to dine alone can eat together.

Lying on Kerala’s undeveloped northern coast, the setting is wildly divine; surrounded by empty beach and coconut groves. Unlike much of the Keralan coast, it is blissfully quiet with no noisy bars or hoards of crowds to spoil the chilled-out atmosphere.
