Think “kool” life, think KERALA

“Are you looking for longevity?” asked the doctor at the Zuri Resort & Spa during the spa orientation. Well, after the 7hours of an excruciating pick-up ride from Munnar to Kumarakom, I was game to save my soul with some lulling rejuvenating massage, body pampering treatments, mind quieting therapies, and to simply engulf my senses in the mesmerizing whiff of the spa lotions.




Monsoon is the best season to indulge oneself in an ayurveda treatment further stated the doctor. The equable climate of Kerala during this season and the natural abundance of herbs and medicinal plants in its flora all complimented, and were favourable for Ayurveda. Lucky me - I thought am in the right place at the right time.


Zuri is an 18acres 5Star deluxe property with an artificial pond that connects to the famous and unbounded Vembanadu Lake. The property houses 72 rooms, including 10 lake view pool villas, complimented with high-speed wireless Internet access, which is not at all accessible. That’s a sure sign to tell the guests to simply enjoy the good times with Nature. The beauty of the property itself is therapeutic to the eyes, no wonder so many tourists from the Middle East and other Arabian shores land here to enjoy the


pleasant weather and its hospitality. Here, guests are encouraged to use the cycle to commute to their rooms. Very eco-friendly and healthy, I must say. The property also features the Lime Tree, an all-day dining restaurant, banquet and meeting rooms, the Body Temple Island for meditation and the famous Maya Spa, recipient of the Asia Spa Award.

I just had to dial 8331 (how convenient) to de-stress at Maya and be part of the therapeutic regime, which included complimentary use of Sauna, Jacuzzi and Steam bath as listed in the welcome note. Now I know how hot it feels to be grilled in an oven for the Sauna had me sweating profusely, but once the damp, herbal scented towel covered my eyes I was tempted to catch a few nods. But, I was cautioned not to drift off …..Alas I enter eternity. After a cold shower I felt refreshed and looked forward to some more relaxing moments with a Jacuzzi experience. The ambiance was perfect for a Cleopatra session - the dim lights, soothing music, warm water and the bubbles coming out of the jet holes, and a cool drink to keep company with - all seemed to be in sync to offer a soothing spell to my whole being.

I truly felt like a Diva living a dream.............Experience it to make your dream into a reality!
