Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
Bicycle trails lead through quiet coastal villages, with morning strolls reaching the local harbor as fishing boats land their catch.
The rooms
Thatched cottages feature terracotta floors, cane seating on private verandas, and open-air bathrooms framed by interior garden rockeries.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
The freshwater swimming pool sits enveloped by coconut palms, and select cottages add private plunge pools.
At the table
Open-sided thatched pavilions serve regional Kerala dishes, and chefs grill fresh catches from local boats beside the palms.
How it began
CGH Earth crafted the resort in 1998 as an eco-conscious Malabar fishing village, powered by on-site solar and biogas systems.
