A Beach Symphony, Marari Beach, Kerala

Where those in the know come to really get away from it all! With just four-cottages, one with its own private plunge pool, overlooking the rolling tides of Marari Beach, A Beach Symphony is a popular choice. Less of a resort than an upscale private hideaway, it provides all guests with enough space for total privacy. Choose from dining on your verandah if you’d prefer your privacy, or under the stars at the communal dining table if you’d like to meet your neighbours. The food is flavoursome, without being too spicy, and almost all of the seafood is locally caught. You can spot the local fisherman hauling in their catch at sunset. Cottages are designed in a traditional style, yet include all creature comforts the modern day traveler might wish for. There’s no spa, but you’ll find plenty of reputable Ayurvedic practitioners close by, whilst yoga and meditation sessions can be booked.
