Welcome

Mararikulam is a quaint village in Alappuzha district of Kerala in South India. It is a haven for travelers seeking peace and tranquility. Marari beach, with miles of coastline, lush coconut groves, sun-kissed warm sands and its own pace of life provides an almost perfect window to peep into Kerala.

Veena – by the Beach, is an almost two-hundred-year-old traditional nalukettu (നാലുകെട്ട്) right on Marari beach. Built following strict Vaastu principles, it was brought to its present-day location by Keith and Sonia Baker in 2008. Supplanted from its original location in Kollengonde in Kanyakumari district of Tamilnadu, it took about five years to painstakingly reassemble at Marari beach.

Made almost entirely of exquisitely carved wood by artisans of the early 19th century, this nalukettu is a perfect showcase for the depth and breadth of Kerala’s history and culture.

Located on Marari beach, this exclusive, luxurious beach villa offers uninterrupted views of the Arabian sea. The idyllic surroundings of Marari beach, coupled with the historic charm of this exceptionally beautiful and luxuriously appointed beach villa is a natural relaxant to help you escape the stresses of modern-day living.

Configured as either a one-key or two-key villa, our rooms are the perfect balance between antiquity and modernity. Our ensuite rooms are luxuriously appointed and stocked with supplies for everyday stress-free living. With access to some of the freshest of sea produce anywhere, you will relish the cuisine of Kerala, prepared with passion by our live-in in-house Chef.
