Kerala Beach Stay – Grand Tour of India
3-night Kerala holiday extension from only £495pp
Kerala is a blissfully tranquil region on India’s tropical Malabar Coast, known for its palm-fringed beaches and sleepy backwaters. The unhurried pace of life in Kerala makes it an ideal place to round off your tour with a beach stay, and our three-night holiday extension provides a wonderful opportunity to relax and reflect on your time in India.
This holiday extension is available to add to the end of our Grand Tour of India holiday – where on day 24, instead of heading to Cochin for our final night before our flight home, we travel directly to the seaside fishing village of Mararikulam, our home for the next 3 nights.
Kerala Beach Stay, from only £495 per person
Following the hustle and bustle of some of India’s most fascinating cities, why not take the chance to relax on Kerala’s picturesque white sand beaches at the end of your Grand Tour of India?
This itinerary follows on from Day 24 of our Grand Tour of India.

We depart Thekkady this morning, saying farewell to our traveling companions who continue their journey to Cochin. We journey to the sea-side fishing village of Mararikulam.

Set amid 30 acres of coconut groves and organic farmland and with direct access to the beach, settle into our individual thatched villa and prepare to relax.

Day 2: Mararikulam
Our day is at leisure to spend as we please. Marari is a nature lover’s paradise and the resort offers a host of activities. Maybe take a morning stroll with one of the resident naturalists, or perhaps discover more about the delicious food at Marari Beach Resort with a walk through the hotel’s organic gardens. Pick your own fruit and vegetables and let the team of talented chefs work their magic!
Included meals: Breakfast and dinner
Day 3: Mararikulam
Another day in paradise! Ayurvedic medicine is rooted at the heart of Indian culture and at Marari Beach Resort you can learn more about this ancient treatment and perhaps enjoy a traditional Ayurvedic massage. Other activities include an early morning yoga session, or you could enjoy your last day taking a cooling dip in the green waters of the hotel’s saltwater pool and a stroll along the golden sandy beach.
Included meals: Breakfast and dinner
Day 4: Depart Cochin / Arrive UK
We bid a sad farewell to Kerala and India today as we travel to Cochin Airport to begin our journey home to the UK. Our flights arrive into the United Kingdom later today.
