Holistic Wellness Experiences

At Sterling Lake Palace Alleppey, wellness is not a service but a journey. At the Subuthi Spa, we offer a variety of signature Ayurvedic therapies such as the Abhyanga Massage, Podi Kizhi, Shirodhara, Ela Kizhi, and Kati Vasti that create a balance of energy in the body and harmonise it. This is a short retreat designed to detox your mind and body through ancient Ayurvedic healing, revitalising therapies and nourishing wellness practices. Here is what the program offers

Savour the Ayurvedic dinner in the evening, which has been particularly prepared to aid in your quest for wellness. Podi Kizhi treatment, which uses warm herbal powders to gently energise the body, begins on day two after an early morning yoga session.
