What a setting, what a place. We arrived here for the last 4 nights of our trip with two young children (7 and 5) and had a blissful time. The beach house was simple, spotless and very comfortable with a position over looking the beach and the arabian see. Food was very good (not the best we´d had on the... more

The Karikkathi Beach House was our last stop after staying in various places from Mumbai - Kovalam. We spent 3 nights there and would have loved to stay longer! Hari, Vinod and all staff were polite, attentive and friendly, nothing was too much trouble to ensure that we enjoyed every minute of our stay. The location was "out of this... more

My friend and I loved our stay at the Karikkathi Beach House. We did an Ayurveda panchakarma (detox/cleanse) for 7 days. We had two body treatments per day and the massage therapists were incredible. The food was delicious--the best we had in our 3 week stay in India. The staff at the beach house were incredibly attentive and helpful, yet... more

Located on a small cliff overlooking the beach, KBH is the perfect beach house for a quiet relaxing time by the sea. My wife and three children, aged 8 - 15, agree it was a great place to come home to after exploring the surrounding countryside. The staff was excellent with food that was better than most restaurants. Indeed, it... more
