Neeleshwar Hermitage
The first 'luxury' hotel in northern Kerala, this opens up miles of unspoilt coastline to the adventurous travelers. Just 18 thatched cottages sit amongst 12 acres of lush gardens filled with frangipani and banana trees, coconut groves and glorious hibiscus flowers. Built according to traditional Keralan Vastu principles, the whole site faces east and the rising sun. Endangered sea turtles hatch their eggs on the beach and rare birds flit overhead; everything is in harmony with nature and Neeleshwar ‘s eco principles are spot on. Spend your days in the Ayurvedic spa, doing yoga or learning to meditate.
