  • All the cottages are modelled on fisherman's huts

  • Despite it being a long drive from the closest airport, the resort is a great place to relax

  • Neeleshwar Hermitage has a fantastic Ayurvedic Spa for the ultimate pampering

  • The coastline is home to the Olive Ridley Turtle, which is now an endangered specie, protected close to Neeleshwar


Neeleshwar Hermitage was built in accordance with the architectural principles of Kerala Vastu and has a number of thatched cottages, with either sea or garden views. Each room has its own private courtyard, balcony and outdoor bathroom. They are furnished with contemporary colour schemes with a slick, modern finish. To the front of the cottages you will find a pleasant verandah.

The hotel has a main dining room at the centre of the resort called The Hermitage serving continental, classic Indian and local cuisine. There is also a delightful seafood and fish restaurant, by the pool and overlooking the beach.

The hotel has a superb spa offering Ayurvedic treatments. They offer traditional massages, purification regimes, aromatherapy, facial and beauty treatments and rejuvenation therapy.

Neeleshwar Hermitage is perfect for those wanting to relax, but for those wanting a little more to do you can visit the impressive fort at Bekal, take backwater cruises, go walking in the Western Ghats, explore untouched local villages or visit the many delightful local temples in the area.

In short, Neeleshwar’s relative untouched isolation is its true trump card; coupled with its wonderfully crafted rooms and facilities - and the chance to explore a part of Kerala that few tourists visit.
