A small luxurious boutic hotel at the beach on a cliff near Trivandrum, Kerala.

Surya Samudra Kovalam is the living expression of Kerala's ancient and vibrant civilisation. Spread over lush green acres of landscaped tropical gardens and insulated from the busy tourist seaside, this tranquil paradise sits on top of a cliff overlooking pristine beaches by the Arabian Sea in Kerala - God's Own Country.Surya Samudra Private Retreats Surya samudra is a heritage resort designed to respect your sense of privacy. You will find it easy to carve your own little world, indoors or outdoors. Each residence is set apart in a private enclave where you can even call in for some in-room therapy from Spa Niraamaya. The beaches are naturally secluded, keeping the hustle and bustle of the world outside at bay. And for epicurean delights we offer you two seafacing restaurants and a sea-facing bar. One of the greatest symbols of Kerala's eco-conscious architecture is the ancient homestead - the Tharavadu house. Its design is based on the principle of being in harmony with Nature, be it in the play of light and air inside or in the flowery, fruit laden garden outside. Sadly, with the march of time, these magnificent dwellings began to face the danger of being stripped and sold for timber. Surya Samudra Kovalam is where that glorious era of architecture has been saved from extinction. Each of our residences is a carefully restored traditional home. The terracotta roofs, tiled floors, wooden pillars, and ornate doors evoke a heady sense of romance with the past. Every article of furniture, painting, and decoration is a handpicked page out of history. Some of these residences stand graciously on a cliff offering magnificent views of the sea. Others sit snugly in palm groves that dot the hillside. Oottupura: The all day dining restaurant at Surya Samudra, Kovalam. Set in a tile-roofed airy verandah Oottupura affords you a breathtaking view of the ocean waves as you linger over a delicious meal. The cuisine is a delectable mix of culinary delights from across the world and the best of local delicacies. Kanal: When the sun goes down, the coals begin to glow at Kanal, our grill, perched on a bluff promontory that springs out from the Cliffside. As the fishing boats begin twinkling in the distance, and the ocean breeze gets cooler, the coal starts crackling to serve up a succulent selection of barbecued and grilled seafood, meat and vegetables. The catch of the day, fresh from the sea, is specially recommended and you can have it marinated in your choice of spices too. Madira: Our sea facing bar is a magnificent place to lean back and breathe in the cool ocean scented air. A nip in the glass to match the nip in the air, the waves lazily washing the shore below you, and a lonely cloud drifting across the star spangled sky. It's a heady feeling, for sure, that our bartender's expert hands can enhance as they deftly mix and pour out the choicest of spirits for your pleasure.
