Costa Malabari pioneered tourism in this area and consists of three lovely homestay-style properties just back from Thottada Beach. Costa Malabari 1 has spotless, spacious rooms in an old hand-loom factory; there are more rooms in two other nearby bungalows, and all serve home-cooked Keralan food on banana leaves. Manager Kurien is an expert on theyyam and arranges visits.
