Altaf Chapri
Your Host & The Team
“I believe that India has the oldest and most gracious system of refined hospitality, and with my team, we are keen to bring this to the attention of all beyond our shores." After the creation of Neeleshwar Hermitage on a glorious beach in Malabar - the unexplored beauty of northern Kerala - and the addition of a rice barge on the backwaters, connected to the Hermitage and giving guests the opportunity to visit some of the least visited temples and villages in Kerala, the property has won twice the award by CNBC TRAVEL for Best Resort for health and rejuvenation. Altaf recently restored and upgraded his father's houseboat in Kashmiri’s Dal lake and launched the only Eco Luxury houseboat and only Secret Retreats in Kashmir.”
Welcome to Kerala
Bounded by the vast Arabian Sea on India’s southwestern shores in Northern Kerala, tranquillity permeates the air in Malabar. Celebrating life with myriad marvellous rituals and colourful annual festivals, the hospitable people who dwell here are significantly influenced by their innate belief in their deities.

Neeleshwar Hermitage offers a peaceful and serene escape while emphasising activities that are both sustainable and local. As ambassadors of the local land, the resort provides bikes on a complimentary basis, along with maps that highlight nearby temples and the estuary, cultivating environmentally conscious sightseeing. The resort also encourages guests to immerse themselves in the surrounding natural beauty of the area with an eco-walk in the paddy fields or a relaxing hike in the Ranipuran Western Ghats. In addition, Neeleshwar Hermitage joins in preservation efforts at the local turtle hatchery, home and shelter to many rare and beautiful turtles, which guests can reach via the beach.
Neeleshwar Hermitage also serves as an ideal gateway for exploration of a village just beyond its gates where guests can immerse themselves in the daily life of friendly locals. Members of staff often invite guests to their homes for tea and traditional refreshments, sharing in a mutually memorable exchange and offering the opportunity to experience authentic local culture. Guests can return home with a thoughtful token of their experience with a piece of local and sustainable clothing created by Neeleshwar Hermitage's in-house tailor.

“Facing the sea, this eco-friendly detox spa/yoga/ayurvedic centre has 16 bungalows also has a 2 cabin rice barge (Lotus Houseboat) for taking backwater cruises.”
Kim, the discoverer.
