Healing, in our guests' words.

Excellent experience

We stayed for 4 nights at Softouch Ayurveda Village and plan to go back there again soon. The vibe, the forest, waterfront, Ayurveda treatments and doctor consultation were all simply superb. It is a place to detox, relax and live with nature, and heal your body. I would highly recommend this place. Thank you Preethi for a warm stay and hospitality.

Hidden gem in God's own country, Kerala

My recent one-week Ayurveda Rejuvenation stay at Softouch Ayurveda Village was an absolute sanctuary for my body, mind, and spirit. Tucked away on the peaceful Chalakudy River, this boutique, NABH-accredited hospital masterfully blends clinical Ayurvedic expertise with quiet, high-end luxury. Because the property intentionally limits its capacity, the entire experience felt profoundly personal and deeply nurturing from the moment I arrived via their seamless Cochin Airport transfer. I received two highly focused therapies a day — including Abhyangam and Shirodhara administered by two exceptionally skilled and synchronized therapists. A persistent shoulder ache and feet pain vanished by day three, and my physical fatigue evaporated. The house doctors are always there to help you and keep checking upon you. They also advise you on your day to day lifestyle improvement and food diet to achieve better results after you come back. I stayed in a spacious, air-conditioned villa that beautifully balanced traditional Keralan architectural design with crisp, modern luxuries. Waking up every morning to a private balcony view of the lush, green gardens and the calm river immediately lowered my cortisol levels. The entire property remains remarkably immaculate, quiet, and optimized for an authentic digital detox. The daily yoga and meditation sessions in the open air perfectly complemented the physical treatments, helping to calm my racing mind. As part of the week-long package, the team arranged a beautiful afternoon excursion to the nearby Athirappilly Waterfalls, which was a spectacular highlight. The full-board, organic vegetarian meals were individually prepared based on our doctors’ dietary scripts. The home-cooked Keralan flavours were outstanding, keeping me light, satisfied, and highly energized. All the food was freshly prepared in house and under the supervision of the owner herself, which gives you a homely feeling. What truly elevates Softouch is the warmth of the owners and their elite team. From Remya’s highly efficient daily coordination to the sweet, attentive hospitality of the kitchen and medical staff, I was treated like a beloved family member rather than a clinical patient. They always took the time to explain the clinical “why” behind every herb, medicine, and lifestyle recommendation. If you are looking to counter the toxic buildup of a high-stress lifestyle, realign your health, and truly reset, do not hesitate to book a stay here. One week gave me an incredible energy recharge, but I already know I will return next year for a longer, 14-day detox program.

An awesome visit

I visited the facility with my mother. My mother is 88 years old and we had also taken her caregiver with us. Our experience at the facility was excellent. The leadership style of the owner Mrs Preeti, with a razor focus on customer care and attention to detail, percolates down to all the staff. For me there were some special needs for my mom and everybody went far and beyond to accommodate. The routine is filled and yet not too hectic, and you can set your own pace. The focus is on therapeutics and yet with some fun and frolic. During our stay there was an arranged traditional Kerala “ottamthullal” from Kerala Kala Mandapam — which was just awesome. We finished our visit with some fond memories. I could refer this facility to anyone without reservations for a quiet, relaxing, therapeutic and discovery visit.

My recent experience at Softouch was excellent. The doctors, treatment, ambience, staff — everything was so organised, and everything has a personal touch. The owner Preethy ma’am is so kind and concerned. Privacy is maintained with the small set-up, which was my preference when I selected Softouch. My personal health improvement is remarkable since coming back home. I feel light, with no bloating and no water retention. I want to continue going there every year. Thanks to Softouch for focusing on the treatment more than anything else, and special thanks to all the doctors — Dr Jugunu, Dr Henry and Dr Anjana. Not forgetting the awesome food — healthy but tasty.

Softouch was so much more than I expected. I came to Kerala mainly for healing and rehabilitation, but I left with so much more — beautiful memories, new perspectives, and a heart full of gratitude. The treatments, physiotherapy, daily routines, and vegetarian food gave my body the care it needed, but honestly, it was the people who made this experience so special. I met people I will genuinely remember and learned something from each of them. I left Kerala feeling lighter, stronger, and very grateful. Thank you to everyone who made this journey so meaningful.

This was our first time visiting a health resort in India, and after researching, we chose Softouch Ayurveda. We had spoken with more than five resorts in Kerala, and each of us had a different purpose for the trip. Some were seeking treatment (post-accident fractures, nerve and colon issues), while others were simply looking for relaxation. The place was absolutely wonderful in terms of attention and organisation. The staff were exceptionally kind and welcoming; we felt like we were at a family home, not a resort. The resort owners visited us daily, checking on us and helping us in every way possible. The rooms were clean and spacious, depending on your choice. We booked the Ayur Villa for three people. We were worried about the food, especially since it was only vegetables, particularly for those who could not eat fibre. They accommodated our request and provided protein for those with specific health issues. With the treatment, all our health problems started to improve, thank God. The activities were great. We made clay figures, walked around the area with a staff member, had a cooking class, enjoyed entertainment shows, kayaked — and the place itself was so refreshing, walking along the river surrounded by nature. The doctors answered our questions and were with us every step of the way, even in emergencies. Dr Henry was especially helpful, as was our nurse. At first it was a bit difficult, but after a day of understanding the system, things became clearer regarding the treatment and food. Thank you to each and every employee at Softouch and to the owners as well. You have all been amazing. I hope to come back soon.

Perfect escape from city noise.

Peaceful atmosphere close to nature. Friendly owners treated guests like family. Good homely food and a very relaxing Ayurvedic massage. Highly recommended.

A perfect choice for a stay close to nature.

Homely atmosphere, welcoming family, delicious home-cooked food, flexible check-in/check-out, relaxing massage, and a spacious, clean villa.

Fantastic health resort!

An excellent blend of luxury and authentic Ayurveda. Outstanding doctors and therapists. I enjoyed the Panchakarma treatments, a spacious cottage, nature walks, the nearby river and exceptional food. Highly recommended for wellness and chronic health concerns.
