Edakkad Beach House is a beautiful place to be.
Set in a village on a small peninsular in North Kerala the nearest road is a few minutes walk along a jungle path, through coconut trees, passing village houses along the way. The neighbours greet you with friendly smiles and the kids shout hi and giggle.
The house has three double bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms, an ayurveda room and a roof terrace overlooking the Arabian Sea.
There is a large inner hall, a dining area and a large kitchen where staff will cook for you - but you are allowed in the kitchen too if you prefer!
The house has a well and a washing rock. Guests can make use of these things if they wish or everything can be taken care of by the excellent staff at the house.
A perfect destination for anyone who loves to get away from the well trod tourist routes.
Its like going back in time!
When it gets dark its really dark and the stars are so beautiful and clear.
Edakkad Beach House is simplicity with comfort and outside of the house village life goes on.
Fishermen go down to the sea each day to fish and to dive for crabs, ladies beat their washing on the rocks and the coconuts are harvested once every two months, an exciting event for any guests at the house.
To one side of the peninsular a small river flows. At low tide it is possible to walk through the river to the Drive-in-Beach. This is a four kilometer virgin beach where it is possible to drive the whole length, skimming the waves.
A beach jeep is available for shopping in the town and for driving on the beach.
Edakkad Beach House has an ayurveda room exclusively for guests at the house. Standard ayurvedic treatments are available from qualified ayurveda staff and are included in the house rental. Treatments mainly consist of massage with special herbal oils and are given for stress relief, relaxation, rejuvenation, pampering and to alleviate aches and pains.
The beach house has a large library of talking books on tape and cd and a large library of film on dvd. It is recommended that a personal dvd player is taken to the house if you like to relax with a film.
There is no tv.
The village kids love to play cricket and they love guests to join in.
This kind of therapy is priceless!
