a superb resort on the Arabian sea with a private and pristine beach. Fantastic infinity pool and food to match. Staff friendly, accommodation spacious and clean, an ideal spot to wind down whilst travelling in Kerala. The Lotus houseboat “the best”. Dining on the beach a highlight. Well done staff for making our stay perfect.

We spent just two nights here to wind down after a very hectic two weeks. The staff are really lovely and the food great. One restaurant specialises in sea food but as we’re vegetarians we ate only in the other one. I swam twice a day very early morning and at 6 30 pm when […]

“Beautiful accommodation set on the shores of the Arabian Sea. Amazing staff, two restaurants serving local fish. Also can recommend the Spa offering Ayurevic massage. Bungalows simply appointed but very comfortable. The open air garden in the en suite was a novel idea. Beautiful gardens with the passing mongoose going about their daily business. Infiniti […]

My husband and I traveled from Canada to India recently and had the great pleasure of staying six nights at Neeleshwar Hermitage, two night of which were spent on the exceptional Lotus Houseboat cruising the backwaters of northern Kerala.

Having spent 11 days sightseeing / touring the Golden Triangle further North we really enjoyed our 8 days of relaxation at this delightful beach hotel; its rustic nature but with all the mod cons situated within coconut groves beside a beach that goes on for miles with hardly a soul in sight was heaven. As […]

We spent five days at the Hermitage and the end of our visit to Kerela. It was the perfect end to our holiday. Our cottage was clean and comfortable. The grounds are beautiful and the situation stunning. The food in both restaurants was superb and some of the best we have had in India. The […]

If it is total relaxation you are after then this hotel is perfect. The massage facilities are superb and very reasonably priced, breakfast on the beach or dinner watching the magnificent sunsets all add to the enjoyment. With ample space in the pleasant grounds for all guests to either be alone or in the company […]

“My partner and I stayed at Neeleshwar Hermitage for 4 nights in January. It is a beautiful resort made up of 18 cottages in a remote part of Northern Kerala. The setting is tranquil with the cottages dotted around over 3 acres amongst lush greenery and by a beautiful secluded beach. The cottages were beautifully […]

Rooms are very comfortable and are situated in the gardens or facing the sea. You can totally relax. Sitting on the beach with your toes in the sand eating lovely grilled fish, is […]
