Kovalam, Kerala, India · Niraamaya Retreats · High Luxury
Niraamaya Surya Samudra sits on the cliff at Pulinkudi, near Kovalam, and its cottages are centuries-old Keralite Tharavad houses, dismantled and rebuilt in wood on the headland. A rock-carved infinity pool hangs over the Arabian Sea, and the spa runs Ayurvedic therapies under resident physicians. Laterite and timber keep the rooms at village scale, and the Relais and Chateaux membership marks a small, quiet hotel.
