About Us – Safire Residency

Safire Residency is a budget hotel under the Nattika Ayurveda Retreats group, offering comfortable and affordable accommodation for business and leisure travelers visiting Trivandrum. Unlike our flagship wellness retreats such as The Nattika Beach Ayurveda Resort, Rockholm at the Light House Beach, and Retreat Park am See Nattika in Germany, Safire Residency focuses on delivering practical, efficient, and value-oriented hospitality.

In addition to serving in-house guests, Safire Residency also houses the centralized laundry operations for Rockholm at the Lighthouse Beach, ensuring that high-quality linen care standards are consistently maintained across properties.

Conveniently located in the city, the hotel offers essential amenities and dependable service, while upholding the hallmark values of the Nattika group—care, reliability, and professionalism.
