4.9/5 (992 reviews)

From placid lakes to bustling cities, ancient churches to stylish hotels, the central part of Kerala is by far the most diverse. The lovely stretch of sand that runs down the coast by Marari is a favourite amongst visitors, partly due to its proximity to Cochin and Alleppey but also largely due to its unparalleled cleanliness and stunning ecology. The water is crisp and gin-clear and perfect for a spot of swimming, snorkelling and water-skiing (and surfing if the wave Gods are in your favour) and the beach has won awards for its clever environmental programmes. And as the palm trees sway in the salty breeze, you’ll more than likely catch a glimpse of the fishermen heading out to sea over the breakers and local ladies making traditional mats and brushes. Genuine, unpretentious and picturesque.
