Beach

The west coast of India offers wonderful opportunities to relax on the beach. Would you like to practice yoga and receive ayurvedic treatment? Would you prefer to enjoy nightlife meeting similar minded travellers? Or do you prefer a beach (almost) entirely to yourself? All this is possible in different locations.

Varkala

Still the top destination for backpackers and long-term India travellers. High on the cliff, cosy rooftop restaurants offer fantastic views of the sea and sunsets. If your interests are yoga, ayurveda, contact with other travellers or just relaxing on the beach, this place is for you.

Kovalam

Kovalam is more of an up-market experience, with all the advantages of beach life.

Cherai

Conveniently located only 25 kilometres from Kochi, Cherai offers a quiet alternative to the traditional beach destinations.

Marari

A sleepy fishing village with a fantastic, pristine beach. With the backwater in the hinterland, they form the perfect romantic setting for a quiet break.

Kannur

Located in the north of Kerala, the beaches of Kannur are relatively unexplored and undeveloped, but they offer everything you need for a vacation: endless sandy beaches lined with palm trees, good (mostly vegetarian) food, and peace and quiet.
