Niraamaya Surya Samudra

Perched on a dramatic promontory overlooking the azure blue Arabian Sea and cradled between two secluded beaches, Niraamaya Surya Samudra is a tranquil, boutique beachfront retreat.

Spread amongst 20 acres of coconut plantation, each of the 31 distinctive heritage-style cottages is an ancient traditional Keralan house immaculately restored by local craftsmen and adapted to blend modern conveniences with rich character. The elegantly decorated spacious cottages showcase earthy interiors with terracotta roofs and carved woodwork that effortlessly blends with modern amenities. Rooms either face the tropical gardens or have panoramic sea views. The higher the category of the room, the more spacious they are and nearer to the sea. The Banyan Tree Bungalow is set on the cliff’s edge with a private sea-facing sit-out. In contrast, the Octagon is a traditional Keralan-style stone house with a private sun deck offering greater privacy and is ideal for honeymooners.

Between the Café Samsara, an all-day dining restaurant and Essence, a speciality restaurant set on a cliff, guests at the Niraamaya Surya Samudra have a choice of delectable cuisine, including traditional Keralan, Oriental and Western dishes. Leisure facilities at the Niraamaya Surya Samudra include an outdoor pool, a beachfront bar serving imaginative cocktails, beer and wine, an Ayurveda centre and a library. Guests staying at Niraamaya Surya Samudra can access the secluded beach below via a series of steep steps; however, this may not be possible for those with mobility issues.
