Marari Beach Resort MI Evaluation - Gold

The village of Maraikulam lies on a forgotten shore, midway up the Malabar coast, where the Indian Ocean finally decides that it has now become the Arabian Sea. Modeled on the fishermen’s' dwellings of Mararikulam, your accommodations are a fine balance between traditional form and modern function. 

The roof is palm thatch, but we've added a concrete base that keeps the air-conditioning in and the odd insect out. Bathrooms too, combine modern fixtures with the traditional Kerala open-roofed style. And the little taps outside each cottage are another local touch. The fisher folk use them to clean the sand off their feet, and you can do likewise. Barefoot is a great way to be at Marari Beach, even indoors! 

Cottages like the one we've just described form the standard accommodation , but if you favour more private luxuries, maybe you'd like to pick one of our pool villa cottages, which are suite-style and have a secluded walled courtyard with a private pool all your own.

ACCOMMODATION 

A choice of three grades of accommodations: Garden Villas and Garden Pool Vilas and Deluxe Pool Villas. 

Pool Villas

The pool villas are a private world, with secluded courtyards, spacious suite-style accommodations and of course, your own private plunge pool.

DINING 

The accent at Marari Beach is on fresh fish. The Malabar coast is abundant with splendid seafood varieties, from blue crabs and fat mussels, to giant prawns, lobster, sea bass, shark, mackerel and red snapper; from barracuda, bigeye and skipjack tuna, to baby octopus and reef cod ...the list is endless. 

The spacious main restaurant serves up Kerala cuisine, buffet style, along with a host of international favourites and of course, the freshest seafood available.

Most evenings, you can catch some live music here too. 

This long Verandah is the appropriate place to enjoy a sundowner. Apart from the bar area, the clubhouse offers television (the only one on the premises) and a large selection of paperbacks in English, French and German.

LEISURE 

To an Ayurvedic masseur, giving a massage is a form of worship, and the centre at Marari reflects the spiritual nature of the treatments.

Expert doctors guide the process, and the result is a powerful healing system, the results of whichyou can measure for yourself, even after two or three sessions. 

The extensive grounds of Marari harbour a wealth of medicinal plants (helpfully labelled for you), many of which are used in treatments at the ayurvedic centre. 

We have multiple therapy rooms and massage rooms offering the full range of treatments and massages, with qualified doctors to oversee it all.

On the low table at left is a selection of fresh herbs, many plucked from the medicinal herb garden just outside.
