Where you are going...
Nikki's Nest is located on the southwestern coast of India, directly overlooking the Indian Ocean. Nestled among tropical plants and flowers, this delightful resort is in close proximity to a fishing village and offers breathtaking views of the sea. The convenience of Trivandrum airport is approximately a 40-minute drive away.

Why you’ll love it...
This is the kind of hidden gem we want to tell everyone about! This intimate resort is full of character, run with passion by Nikki and her team, who focus on authentic Ayurveda and sustainable hospitality. Despite its modest scale, it offers a high level of personal care, with programmes designed by skilled doctors and therapists. Nikki’s Nest has received the Green Leaf Award for its ecological efforts and the NABH certificate from the Quality Council of India, recognising both its medical expertise and commitment to sustainability. The team also contributes actively to the community through beach clean-ups, caring for stray animals, and inspiring neighbouring resorts to follow their example. The location on a palm-fringed hillside overlooking the sea makes it a truly special place where nature, wellness, and heart come together.

Panchakarma, 14 nights

Wat een prachtige plek en wat een bijzondere ervaring om bij Nikki’s Nest te verblijven. Alles wordt met zoveel zorg geregeld. We deden elke dag yoga en genoten van de dagelijkse massages en Ayurvedische behandelingen, begeleid door vogelgezang en het geluid van de zee. Het personeel is ongelooflijk vriendelijk. Het buffet van ontbijt tot avondeten is heel gevarieerd, met veel keuze, vers bereid en met zoveel liefde gemaakt. De tempel in de buurt is indrukwekkend om te zien. En ja, de geluiden rondom de tempel zijn er duidelijk, maar eerlijk gezegd gaf dat juist extra kleur en sfeer aan ons verblijf in India.

Panchakarma, 14 nights

Nikki’s Nest is een fantastische plek om tot rust te komen en nieuwe energie op te doen. Het Ayurvedische eten is heerlijk, de behandelingen zijn uitstekend en de yogalessen zijn geweldig. De yogadocent is een ontzettend vriendelijk persoon. Het personeel is altijd behulpzaam en gastvrij, waardoor ik me tijdens mijn hele verblijf echt welkom voelde.

Panchakarma, 14 nights

Een prachtig resort aan zee met een uitstekende prijs-kwaliteitverhouding, zeker in het laagseizoen. Ons verblijf in juli overtrof alle verwachtingen. Volgens de adviezen van de vriendelijke en kundige Ayurvedische arts kregen we dagelijks twee uur gerichte massages en het beste eten voorgeschoteld. Het resort wordt goed onderhouden, alles is schoon en we voelden ons op elk moment veilig en verzorgd. Een nabijgelegen hindoeïstische tempel is duidelijk aanwezig, maar wij zagen dit eerder als een verrijking dan een verstoring. Net als het geluid van de zee en de vele vogels in de tuin. India bruist en is kleurrijk.
