A century-old traditional Keralan building with handsome wooden shutters, hidden beneath coconut palms and separated from Thottada Beach by a small lagoon – this is an original seafront homestay. The five rooms are simply done, but you can enjoy sensational ocean sunsets from your porch or balcony and dig into home-cooked Malabar meals. Yoga and trips to see theyyam are offered.
