FACILITIES
Yoga
Yoga, the science of man, based on ancient Indian wisdom and culture, is an art of living a healthy, balanced, peaceful and contented life. Yoga, being a total integrated system, studies man in his wholeness - body, mind and spirit and is integrated to certain principles, ideas, values, attitudes and a way of life for personal and social benefits.

Ayurveda
Ayurveda is the traditional healing science of India. This is an age-old holistic medicine which emphasizes relaxed mind-body harmony, keeping pace with the laws of NATURE. As Modern medicine with its strong synthetic chemical drugs fails to combat nature, there is rapid & progressive acceptance in the world over this natural medicine. The whole world is desperately looking for new lifestyles that include healthy diet, stress-free careers, happy lasting relationship & for a relaxed mind-body harmony side-lining the laws of nature. "Back to nature" concept lands here only.

Reiki
Reiki (ray-key) is a Japanese word for Universal Life Force and a system of natural healing that channels Reiki through the hands. The traditional Asian medical paradigm views injury, dysfunction and disease as manifesting when subtle energies are weak, distorted or out-of-balance. Reiki accesses the source of Life to heal the self and others on spiritual, mental, emotional and physical levels. Reiki allows the source of well-being to enhance and balance natural life forces through non-intrusive therapeutic touch. Health maintenance, pain relief, mental quietude and healing result from its application. Reiki augments and accelerates the healing process. It can be effective in cases that do not respond to other forms of treatment. It can be used in conjunction with any other therapeutic modality.

Some Comments
"Illicit stills, chair - bearing carioes and raffles drawn by an elephant greeted Saw Llewellyn in Kerala, southern India. But they couldn't compare with Sabu, the Mozart of hotel managers". Set among a labyrinth of tiny orchards of mango and banana in the southern Indian state of Kerala, Hotel Blue Sea at Kovalam works according to a raga - like rhythm all of its own. Hotel Blue Sea is a large cool and colonial Kerala home with a typical central courtyard. The Blue Sea contains two of the funkiest rooms in hoteldom - The Balcony Room, which has a shady balcony bigger than mm many drawing, rooms, and the Roof Room, effectively a Kerala home 60 ft. in the air. Here you can lead the life of a maharaja to the true sense of the term. THE SUNDAY TELEGRAPH - OCTOBER 20, 1996. HONE & AWAY - Travel pages 17 - 24. TRAVEL - By Sam Llewellyn .
My own favourite is the mildly eccentric Hotel Blue Sea, once the family home of the two brothers who run it, about five minutes back from the beach. Their rooftop room (£ 25 a night), Where I lived like a rajah (apart from the temperamental plumbing), is the best place in which I have stayed for years, and fonfirms my long - held article of faith that for real service it's either the super de luxes of the simple family - owned places which do you best. And the hotel even has a large pool. The Sunday Times - 19th February, 1995. Travel to the Light House, Resort Kovalam Report.
