THE MARARI BEACH

• Near a picturesque village tucked away behind a line of dense palms
• Sprawled expansively across 25 acres of land
• A cottage almost identical to a local fisherman's hut
• An Ayurveda centre for draining away residues of urban stress.

Simplicity and harmony mark the interiors which nevertheless contain all the comforts of a modern resort. Air conditioning is made possible by a roof invisible from the outside. There are modern twin - or - double beds, elegant, locally-inspired furniture and even a tea and coffee making facility. The bathrooms are open-roofed courtyards, similar to those in the homes of old Kerala with hot-and-cold water supply too. Spacious Pool Villas are a good option to the cottages. These feature cozy living rooms and -luxury itself- your own private pool.

Like the fisher folk who inspired it all, the Marari Beach is a caring part of its environment. Just across the road from the resort is the waste water recycling plant. No effluents are released into the sea, and the manure created goes into our organic farm, right next door. The farm ensures that the vegetables and fruits we serve are the freshest you can get. As a guest at Marari, you can be sure of an experience that respects the ecology

The Marari Breach is not the place for a raucous beach holiday. There are no rave parties here, no noisy water scooters. The trick at Marari is to open up, relax and rejuvenate and while away the hours and wait for one of the sumptuous lunches to be served

Both at the buffet and at our speciality sea food restaurant, Fort Cochin, the fresh catch of the day forms the centerpiece. You can choose from a variety of prawns, lobsters, crayfish and the famous 'karimeen', grilled on the spot or prepared to your tastes. Complementing it all is an array of Kerala specialties.
