Design inspired by traditional Keralan houseboats

Located on the shores of the meandering north Keralan backwaters, Taj Bekal Resort & Spa is set amongst a 25-acre coconut plantation that runs down to the Arabian Sea. Inspired by the traditional houseboats unique to this region and built using local materials, the 71 rooms and villas fuse Balinese design with traditional motifs, including hand-carved doors and hand-painted murals. Rooms either face the backwaters or overlook the lush tropical gardens. Some higher-category rooms have the added luxury of a private plunge pool.

Dining options at this stylish beach retreat include the main restaurant, where regional and international cuisine is available, or casual barbecues by the pool. Private dining options are also available. Taj Bekal Resort & Spa facilities include a bar, a well-equipped gym, an outdoor swimming pool, and a spa offering traditional Ayurvedic, Swedish and Oriental aroma therapies. Activities on offer include bicycle rides through the surrounding villages and the opportunity to visit the local fish market with the hotel’s chef to select your lunch!
