About the Destination

Overview

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.
