The Carnoustie Ayurveda & Wellness Resort, situated at the Marari beach close to the Alappuzha backwaters, comprises of 40 luxury villas, a traditional Ayurveda Spa, Two Backwater Suite in Muhamma, One Two Bedroom House Boat and a Sailing Club. The villas are designed to reduce energy and water consumption as well as minimize the use of exhaustible materials. The eco-friendly resort ensures that we use materials such as jute, bamboo, recycled cardboard instead of wood, reprocessed plastic and scrap wood. While at the resort, travellers can take lake/ backwater tours to gaze at the gorgeous paddy fields of Alapphuza, try out the early-morning yoga sessions, unwind at the beach, relax at the spa, enjoy performances by local traditional dancers and Kerala’s range of percussion music, try their hand at night fishing, cycle around villages or sail the backwaters and learn a bit of archery.

Detailed Reviews
We are really thankful to the entire staff of carnoustie.
Would like to start from day one, quite common where resort send car for airport transfer. But here with, there was separate car for luggage to make sure we have a comfortable ride. Not only that sandwiches, fruits and water alongwith that. Coming to beautiful resort, beauty, greenery, their clean beach, always on their toes housekeeping staff, never saying no for anything thats how well trained and master chefs in the restaurant. These ayurveda and wellness beauty has so much of minimalistic appreciable stuffs example their soap holder is also man made from leaves. Not using plastic in any sense. Much more things to appreciate. Trust me do visit and its one of the best resort have ever been to.

This place was recommended by my wife and I had no idea about the place and had not seen any pics before reaching the property! But truly at first glance, it stood up to my expectations. The staff ,right from the Chauffeur to the Manager and owner were so humble and welcoming. The property , rooms , pool and lush greenery is a delight to watch. Private beach is just the right place to see the Sunset with the fishermen returning with catch of the day. We thoroughly enjoyed the untouched beach and cleanliness around. The food in the restaurant was amazing and the staff and chef ensured that our taste buds were always taken care of. We felt a touch of belongingness from the staff with respect to any demand or request made by us. The rooms as spacious and clean , washrooms were well maintained and well ventilated. Overall , a lush green space with excellent blend of hospitality and services. Not to forget the amazing House Boat ride and Meals on-board was a wonderful experience. Kudos to the owner And the staff for making it a memorable stay for us. Definitely longing to visit this place again soon!

My 15-day stay and experience at Carnoustie exceeded my expectations. The ambiance, facilities, and the program design combined with the professionalism of Dr Mobi and her skilled team of therapists, the courteous and solicitous restaurant team led by Joseph, the housekeeping team and other levels of operations ensured my well-being at every turn. The healthy diet helped to redefine my relationship with food and showed me what's possible. Definitely a place where one can unwind and reinvigorate the body, mind and spirit! Will certainly be back...

Never ever visited a pool villa so unclean, unmaintained and broken… children had injuries due to the pool tile not properly maintained and broken pool deck. Food was horrible that we purchased local fish had to ask them to try for us. Prawns was served with loads of salt and we were asked to adjust by having it with cucumber. Breakfasts which was complimentary had to be ordered the prior night of it was not dosa. No buffets for breakfast.
Pathways had no lights during night and even after several complaints it was not rectified. Staff shortage was noted and no one knew anything about the resort.
No consideration was given to senior citizens , leave alone youngsters. Okay
There were no life guards on the so called private beach area… the beach chairs were infested with worms and flies due to under- maintenance. We had to buy beach chairs to sit near beach area.
When we raised any complaints, right from the staffs to management they were making lame excuses like they just joined or the cook was new etc etc..
Even after repeated requests of keeping the property neat and tidy even before checking in, they hardly looked into the matter.
To make things worse, we waited for more than 45 minutes for the breakfast to be served even after confirming the order the night before.
Everything felt NOT RIGHT!!!!
The only appreciation, I would mention would be that they cooked the fish (sardine) that we bought with our own money.

This place truly lives up to the god's own country line !! Heaven on land is carnoustie ...It's soothing ,relaxing and the place is extremely serene and beautiful .
Right from the watchman at the front gate to the staff , servers , people at the restaurant everyone is extremely warm and courteous .
My husband and i signed up detox panchakarma for a week and the results very amazing and the massaged are fab and so are the therapies .I neva knew diet food could be so delicious though portions are less .
The place is expensive but it's worth every penny .Every person must invest into in their health and signup for programme at this resort atleast once .
My 22 month old baby boy had a blast as the property is on a private beach .He would get any food that was asked for and staff very extremely nice and took care of baby while he was playing around ..
It's a must go to place !!
Warm Regards ,
Srividya Gopa !!!

15 days were very enjoyable. I think the reviews are largely accurate. This is a resort being restored to it's former glorious self and to images on the website. They are trying to do what few places do, combine ayurvedic clinic and resort facilities. They do it very well. This is a mild ayurvedic experience, very nice for those trying for the first time. Like other reviewers, I enjoyed the spa treatments and the care the Drs took. I also found the food offered by Chef Ashok and team to be fantastic. Tasty, filling and healthy. The cooking demo offered by Ass Chef Rajiv was also great. The restaurant manager, Joseph and team, worked hard to ensure each guest's individual requirements were met. Most guests seemed pretty demanding and all staff seemed very keen to do their best to deliver. The grounds are continuing to need upkeep (well covered in the reviews) however each individual room/villa is private and set in a truly beautiful tropical garden. 14 days is the optimal time to get the full benefit. I had no personal recommendations about the place. I'm so pleased I found it online. I met some wonderful people and would definitely return. A big thank you to all the staff.

We had a beautiful experience with the treatment as well as with our stay. With 2 kids the treatment felt so easy as the staff was always there to fulfill all there wishes while we were busy with our treatments.. the housekeeping staff as well as the restaurant staff is very loving and kind. Healthy and hygienic food with beautiful surroundings with so much greenery and of course the beach was like a cherry on the cake.
Dr. Mobi is like a motherly figure who take care of our likes and dislikes and plans our day so effortlessly. Her beautiful smile and so much love for her patients makes our day worth spent.
We loved it here and looking forward to visit soon.
Love,
Villa 801

My review is going to be very empathetic to a resort coming out of 3 years of a hard hitting pandemic, perhaps too early ? The hotel infrastructure is in need of some refurbishment which they have in hand. Hence my 3 rating.
That aside the staff more than compensate for the buildings . Under the supervision of Satheesh the Operations Manager your request for a slight repair will get sorted.
The staff are all doing their best and are helpful and pleasant.
My summary would be a resort staffed by 5 Star people in a 3 star rating infrastructure.
I recommend a massage while you’re there and enjoy the peace and tranquillity of the location and be little forgiving of the odd nail missing.

Parvati: I will remember these wonderful 21 days for the rest of my life ! I was here for the first time from March 8 , 2023 till March 29 and I plan to come here again ..Having arrived here , I wanted not only to relax but also to heal my health and I succeeded ! I am very happy that I chose this hotel! A wonderful hotel with its huge green territory , the first coastline , balanced meals. I want to express my special gratitude to Dr. Moby , Dr. Moly and all the girls at the SPA .. for the care and attentiveness, all the procedures were on 💯! All the staff are very friendly , I felt protected and surrounded by care and love ! I also want to express my special gratitude to the operational manager of Satheesh, who always solved any issues quickly and professionally! I also express my special gratitude to the chef for a special delicious diet meal . I express my gratitude to my driver -Saneesh , very attentive, drives the car very carefully and safe ! The girls also cleaned the villa qualitatively every day. My favorite girl is Manju, she was always creative : she left flowers in the room and figurines made of Towels - it was very nice to always come back ! Every day yoga was thank you - Anoop for his approach to yoga was always professional and fun ! So I advise everyone to come here as minimum for 21 days not less and melt in this beautiful space of care and professional specialists!!! See you soon 😊
