Heavenly Relaxation

After a 2-week intense yoga holiday, I treated myself to a couple of nights at the Nilaya. The massages were fantastic – I highly recommend the shirodara and hot oil massages. The lovely swimming pool was perfect for lounging during the day, allowing me to wind down and completely relax.

Really good Culinary Experience

During my stay, every meal was a delight! The chef came to meet us and painstakingly explained some exotic dishes. Whatever we ordered was extremely delicious, showcasing a mix of Continental and Indian cuisines.

Beyond Beautiful Rooms

The rooms at Nilaya Hermitage are beyond beautiful and very spacious. I stayed in the Star room, which was enormous and had a private terrace outside. The decor is just splendid, creating an atmosphere of tranquility and comfort.

My stay at Nilaya Hermitage was absolutely magical! The luxurious stone cottages were beautifully designed and provided a tranquil escape. However, I did encounter some frustrations with the dining options, which could use improvement. The location offered stunning views and a peaceful atmosphere, but it does feel a bit isolated from more lively areas and beach access.
