Accommodation

The architecture at Soma Kerala Palace is a blend of several remarkable structures that belong to a long-gone epoch. It is for this reason, that each of our rooms rather, royal chambers, have an old-world aura.

Sreedhari
Sreedhari was an Ayurveda Shala (Hospital) built in 1890, functioning in Pala, Kottayam. The structure was carefully disbanded and became a part of Soma Kerala Palace in the year 2003. Today, Sreedhari has palatial rooms that are evocative of the Tharavadus of ancient Kerala.

Restaurant
That the cuisine of Kerala is all about spices, coconuts and sea foods, is a misconception. There is a lot more to it apart from the flavours lent by the spices and coconuts. The difference in the way it is prepared and served is what makes the food of Kerala, a gourmet's delight!

At Soma Kerala Palace, we bring alive some old forgotten recipes of Kerala that were known for their delicious flavours and nutritive value. At the resort you can not only indulge your taste buds in these mouth watering delicacies but also watch them being prepared by specialists.

The food made in earthen pots and large brass vessels, gives the food a special essence which gets better when served on plantain leaves. The ambience of our elegant restaurant further adds to your dining experience.
