If you are looking for a break to help you seriously un-wind, or even to fix some minor ailment, then you could do worse than visit Somatheerum Beach Resort in Kerela, southern India.
Somatheerum is an ayurvedic and yoga centre combined in very relaxing surroundings. The resort sits atop a small cliff with steps down to a beautiful wide beach. At the top of the cliff are the ruins of a church and nestling in the palms trees at the back of the beach is quite a substantial fishing village. At night a myriad of fishing lights can be seen out at sea like strings of pearls, and during the day the local population are pulling in their boats, tending their nets or playing football. The place has a wonderful spiritual and calming ambience with little to pander to commercial tourism for miles around.
