For the rest of your life

RITUAL

The ancient Indian scriptures constantly remind us that the hidden essence of life is what they call ananda – bliss. Here at the Hermitage, our aim has always been to awaken and enliven this inner quality in our guests and everything here, from the arrangement of the surroundings to our food and wellness therapies, is dedicated to this end.

With this in mind, and to celebrate our re-opening, we have devised two unique 3-night packages.

BLISS by the BEACH

The natural surroundings of The Hermitage provide an ideal setting for deep relaxation and reflection, while the unspoilt beach, clean and free of hawkers, offers long walks soothed by the gentle caress of the Indian ocean. Local bike rides will reveal the charm of village life along the coast. The Hermitage Wellness Programme, which includes individually tailored treatments, menus and lifestyle advice, will keep you fit and glowing long after you leave the magical ambience of this place!

BLISS on the BACKWATERS

This package offers a combination of everything that The Hermitage offers along with delightful time spent on the tranquil backwaters, exploring another facet of the reticent jewel that is Malabar. A two night stay in the paradise garden of the hotel is complimented by a night on the stylish Lotus houseboat, and all the individually crafted regimes of treatment and diet you have been enjoying on land can be continued whilst on the cruise.

"Neeleshwar is hybrid of a boutique hotel and an Ayurvedic wellness centre. Its 18 palm roofed villas are scattered across the sand, their porches cooled by spinning ceiling fans, and at the rear of each is a large outdoor bathroom with a tub set in a small walled garden. At the seafood restaurant, tables spill out into the beach, freshly draped in new combinations of linens for each meal: turquoise and pink or deep orange and violet."
