Fodor's Expert Review A Beach Symphony

Set on Marari beach in a quiet neighborhood are four luxury cottages in a delightful garden hotel surrounded by palm trees. Each cottage, decorated with Kerala-style furnishings, has a spacious veranda where all meals are served and a traditional open-air bathroom with modern fittings; some have their own private swimming pool. For those who want to do more than just soak up the sun, there are spa treatments, yoga, and biking tours around Marari village.
