Marari Trips & Tours

Dip your toes into the Arabian Sea in this pretty beach spot, unchanged for thousands of years.

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.

Things to do

What to do in Marari

Fishermen mend their nets beneath towering palms while waves whisper secrets to endless golden sand. Here, time moves to the gentle rhythm of village life: morning prayers drift from Portuguese-era churches, traditional coir makers spin coconut husks into rope, and the day's catch transforms into aromatic curry in family kitchens. Whether you're cycling through sleepy hamlets, learning ancestral fishing techniques from local experts, or watching kingfishers dive between wooden canoes, this untouched coastal haven offers Kerala at its most authentic - where luxury means having nothing between you and the sunset except endless miles of empty beach.
