The Marari Beach, Mararikulam
The Marari Beach,
Mararikulam: Marari originates from " Mararikulam ", one of the local fishing
villages, where life still goes on much as it did a hundred years ago, with the
men going out to sea each day to earn a living bringing in the daily catch. Completely
new to the holiday maker. Marari offers endless miles of superb sand beaches backed
by swaying palms, virgin territory where you can experience the local charm and
traditional Kerala Hospitality at its best. Not that you need to spend
the whole of your holiday in seclusion, you couldn't be in a better location for
exploring the marvellous backwaters, where the tranquility, the stunning scenery
and the feeling of being transported back in time, make it a superbly relaxing
and inspiring experience.
For a more upbeat day, a visit to Cochin is
a must. Being one of the most important trade centres on the " Spice Coast " this
is the place to do a spot of shopping and who knows you could actually find a
genuine antique in one of the many shops in Jew Town.
After an active
day of shopping, back to Marari simply sit and relax, watch the sun go down over
the horizon and get ready for a leisurely dinner at the resort. After dinner you
can rediscover the art of conversation with your fellow holidaymakers. have a
relaxing drink at the bat or just enjoy a quite moment on your veranda reflecting
on the day's events. Until now Marari has been one of India's best kept secrets.
We have a feeling it won't stay a secret for long, so try it now and
be one of the first to experience undiscovered Kerala!
