The ideal thing to do at Marari would be to slow down, relax and enjoy the sun, sea, and sand. The hammocks by the sea are perfect for lazy afternoons or to unwind with a favorite book. Discover the butterfly garden and spend time in the company of the tiny yet delightful creatures and vivid foliage. In the evenings, guests enjoy the rustic charm of a traditional tea cart surrounded by lush greenery around.

For some local experiences, guests can watch the local fishermen as they reel in the catch of the day, take a cruise on the Kettuvallom, learn and take back recipes from the region or take a stroll through the nearby village. Guests can also ride the waters of the Kerala Backwaters on a country boat or take an excursion to Fort Kochi.

Marari Beach Resort has been taking small yet crucial eco-initiatives like offering safe drinking water in sterilized, reusable glass bottles; reducing dependence on single-use plastic; reducing waste and recycling in the most imaginative ways; sustainable waste management; cooking with biogas; sourcing ingredients locally and from the in-house organic farm; and offering guided tours with a naturalist to learn about eco-sensitive processes. The resort truly lives the powerful core values of CGH Earth Hotels by consciously remembering to respect the surrounding ecosystems. The cotton bath linens and face towels are sourced from Kara, a local ladies’ support group in Marari, which runs a hand-weaving center to produce the traditional cotton weaves.
