    Why Visit Marari Beach Resort?

    Discover what makes this destination truly special

    Marari Beach Resort
    Marari Beach Resort is designed to replicate the style and harmony of a traditional fishing village in Kerala. Spread across 30 acres of coconut groves, lily ponds, and fruit trees, the property features individual thatched-roof villas that offer both privacy and a connection to the natural surroundings. The resort deliberately omits televisions in the rooms to encourage guests to engage with the environment, whether it's through bird watching, reading in a hammock, or simply enjoying the quiet. The atmosphere is calm and focuses on wellness and sustainability. Guests can walk through organic gardens that supply the kitchen, participate in yoga and meditation sessions, or visit the dedicated Ayurveda center for traditional treatments. The experience is about slowing down and absorbing the coastal Keralan lifestyle, with direct access to the clean and relatively uncrowded Marari Beach.

    History & Significance

    Learn about the story and cultural importance of this destination

    History

    Established by the CGH Earth group, a pioneer in responsible tourism in India, Marari Beach Resort was developed in the late 1990s. The concept was to create a hotel that was not just built on the land but was of the land. Its design and operation are inspired by the lives of the local fishing community of Mararikulam. The architecture uses local materials and traditional construction techniques. The resort was conceived with a strong emphasis on ecological balance, organic farming, and community integration, a philosophy that has defined its identity and earned it numerous accolades for sustainable practices since its inception.

    Significance

    The resort is significant for its role in promoting sustainable and responsible luxury tourism in Kerala. It demonstrated that a high-end visitor experience could be created in harmony with the local environment and culture, rather than in isolation from it. Its model of using local staff, sourcing produce from its own gardens and nearby communities, and preserving the natural landscape has been influential. For visitors, it offers an authentic, immersive experience of coastal Kerala life, setting it apart from conventional beach resorts.
