The Marari Beach Resort is located between Cochin and Alleppey and is rated as one of the finest beach resorts in Kerala. Set in 25 acres of coconut palm groves leading down to the vast expanse of a white sand beach, it offers you seclusion and peace in the most verdant settings.Set in the fishermen's village of Mararikulam, the resort's architecture is designed to blend into the lifestyle of the locals. Combining the best of western comforts, the cottages are designed as fishermen's huts bringing the ambience of the village into the resort. All that separates the resort from the sea are rows of verdant coconut palms. There are a mere 50 cottages, so the sense of space here is much more dramatic. The cottages are separated by generous stretches of open parkland, dotted with fruit-laden trees. The winding village pathways are a faithful echo of the originals. Rambling walls curve around corners, their rust-coloured stones smothered with trumpetflowers. Completing the picture are the rippling lotus ponds.
