An eco-friendly resort near Alleppey, Marari Beach Resort sits in palm-fringed gardens that roll down to the sands where fishermen push colourful boats out to sea. From the Ayurvedic spa to the open-air Malayalam design of the restaurant, this low-lying resort takes inspiration from a Keralan village to blend sympathetically into its surroundings. The restaurant, Club House and Beach Shack continue this authenticity with fresh seafood and delicately spiced Keralan dishes, while naturalist-led walks, a butterfly garden, and village visits further honour the beauty of the location.The 62 Villas are set in thatched huts that dot the gardens, and use local materials and Keralan pieces such as wicker chairs to create an authentic aesthetic. A simple but comfortable design adds to the beach-holiday vibes, and TVs are noticeably absent to create a tranquillity where the beach and the gardens become the entertainment. Each has a small terrace with seating to enjoy the gardens, while the upper room categories also boast a small private pool.
