An elegant blend of Balinese and Keralan architecture infuses Bekal's opulent Taj, on secluded southern Kappil Beach 6km north of town. The pool overlooks the backwaters (go kayaking or rafting), and there are three restaurants, a bar and a stunning 2-hectare spa. All 66 rooms are sumptuously styled, with tubs and hanging outdoor beds; the stars are the exquisite private-pool villas.
