Surya Samudra offers a selection of 5, 7, 14 and 21 day Ayurveda wellness programmes. The most popular is the basic programme that's suitable for all guests and simply includes 90 minutes of daily Ayurveda spa treatments and a daily yoga class. Other more immersive programmes include detox and weight loss.

Overlooking the swimming pool and the ocean beyond, Café Samsara is the hotel's casual all-day dining venue where you can enjoy a freshly prepared gourmet breakfast, and regional and international dishes for both lunch and dinner. 'Essence' is your alternative spot for dinner – a cliff-top restaurant specialising in sumptuous South East Asian cuisine. Following a delicious dinner, enjoy drinks and light snacks at Madira, the laid-back, sandy terrace bar that serves cocktails and a vast selection of wines and beers.

There are plenty of opportunities to explore the temples and bazaars in the local area on an immersive cultural tour, head out to the backwaters for a cruise and beach picnic or join a cooking class.
