Wellness Seekers
Situated on a wide, palm-lined beach this resort is a perfect getaway with very few tourists, instead populated with the occasional, picturesque fishing boat.
The only frustrating factor for some guests is the hotel’s lack of alcohol licensing. While this can be inconvenient, you can bring your own and the hotel will buy local beers for you.
Whether you want to go down the cultural route or relax by the water, this blissful resort offers a range of activities for guests to enjoy.
There is a gorgeous green pool which perfectly complements the lush surroundings. Guests can also enjoy beach yoga, cycling along the water’s edge and beach volleyball, all easily timed to coincide with the sunset to fully appreciate the joys of Kerala, a region famed for its scenic beauty.
For those more intrepid, take a backwater cruise or visit a nearby plantation or venture further afield to the Bekal Fort or the Ranipuram Hills.
The Rooms
Abiding by the traditional Keralan aesthetic, the cottages are spacious and well-furnished with a private sitting area. Particularly significant is the resort’s restaurant, offering an extensive seafood menu inspired by French cuisine.
