Sterling Holiday Resorts proudly celebrates the recognition of Subuthi Spa at Sterling Lake Palace Alleppey as one of the Top 10 Resort Spas in India, awarded at the Spa & Wellness Summit 2025 held in Mumbai. The award was presented by none other than Dr. Mickey Mehta, a pioneer in India's wellness movement, cementing the spa's reputation for authentic and immersive Ayurvedic experiences.

Renowned for its traditional therapies rooted in ancient science, Subuthi Spa offers personalized treatments like Abhyanga, Shirodhara, Pizhichil, and Njavarakizhi—each tailored by expert Vaidyas using Nadi Pariksha, a diagnostic method that identifies an individual’s doshas: Vata, Pitta, and Kapha. These treatments go beyond relaxation, creating a path to inner alignment and lasting wellness.

As the monsoon season unfolds—considered by Ayurveda as the most effective period for detox and rejuvenation—Subuthi Spa transforms into a tranquil haven for holistic healing. The spa’s lush setting and mindful treatments invite guests to reconnect body, mind, and spirit in harmony with the climate.

“Subuthi Spa has been crafted to deliver immersive, mindful experiences that nurture every dimension of wellbeing—physical, emotional, and spiritual,” said Anupam Dutta, Chief Marketing Officer, Sterling Holiday Resorts. “This recognition reaffirms our promise to create sanctuaries of healing across India—be it through our award-winning spas or our curated ‘What A Trip’ wellness retreats.”
