Marari Beach Resort - Marari

Far from the madding crowd, and distant from the world of trendy hotspots and beach raves, Marari’s lietmotifs are space and silence. 

A sprawl of lawns, far-flung lotus ponds and whispering coconut groves, all threaded through with stone- flagged pathways. A wind-break of palms runs the length of the property, and beyond, is only the sand, the sea and the sky all whispering their special language. The resort is a carefully nurtured biodiversity haven that attracts nearly 80 varieties of birds. 

Rooms - Garden Villas, Garden Pool Villas, Deluxe Pool Villas
Homespun simplicity and locally sourced natural materials combine to create a warm ambience. There's no TV set in any of our rooms.
Our bathrooms are inspired by the old Kerala villa styles, where the bathing areas usually stood at a little distance from the main house. Often, these were open to the sky, partly for ventilation, but mainly because it was just so much fun bathing that way,
At Marari, you can experience this idea in updated, contemporary form (Which means that all modcons are reassuringly present ). Few things can match the special joy of a hot shower in a secluded courtyard, open to the sky with only the tingle of warming sunlight and the swaying treetops for company.

Dining - The Marari culinary journey is as multi-layered and subtle as one of our curries.The foundation is, of course the fruits of the ocean. Fresh fish and shellfish -crafted into an endless array of possibilities.The next layer is just-picked produce from our own organic farm.

Leisure
The crisp Malabar sunshine just cries out for a long and leisurely browning session.  Or for that matter, just while away an afternoon with a book from the library.

Village Colours
A stroll or a bicycle ride through the village around the resort can be a fascinating experience. Meandering sleepy lanes, dotted with little groceries, patchworks of political posters, perma-smiling schoolkids, the colours unroll.
