Marari Villas

Marari beach

Three private villas under the palms, three hundred metres from the sand.

The place

An English-Russian couple looked at the coast from Mumbai to Trivandrum before choosing this stretch of Marari, and then built three villas on it out of the frames of old Keralan houses. Each has its own walled garden and pool. There is a chef shared between them and a manager, Mr George, whom guests tend to talk about more than the architecture.

What is there

  • Private walled garden and pool with each villa
  • A chef cooking to order, at set times
  • A reserved stretch of Marari beach, 300m away
  • Semi open-air bathrooms under the banana palms
  • Kitchenettes, so the villas work for longer stays
  • Village tour by auto-rickshaw

Getting there
