Introduction

Situated on a rocky promontory between two deserted beaches, Surya Samudra is the kind of place you could easily imagine Hemingway or Somerset Maugham retreating to for weeks at a time to bash away at a typewriter in splendid isolation. It's that kind of place.

Welcome to Surya Samudra- Kerala's spacious, lush resort! Here one can get enough of Surya, the Sun or Samudra, the sea.

Surya Samudra began as a single octagonal stone house thirty miles from the tip of India and just a few minutes from the historic Vizhinjam harbour (pronounced as Virinyam) Today, it has grown into an eco-friendly beach resort with 23 houses spread over nearly 20 acres of private space and each house comes with a luxuriant foliage of coconut, palm, bamboo, banana, wild shrubs, flowers and the chirping of birds.

Beach Resort Specifications

Accommodation

An impressive line-up of 21 antique granite sculptures of lions welcomes every visitor into the reception area of Surya Samudra. They are positioned against the backdrop of an unpolished granite wall. A pathway laid with rectangular granite slabs, reminiscent of the outer courtyard of traditional Kerala temples, ends in front of a pair of carved granite pillars. From there, steps lead towards houses so positioned, that each house offers an unrestricted view of the sea and the beaches. Further, sand paths couched in rich foliage, link the houses. The land is terraced to prevent erosion and the cottages are placed at different levels hidden from each other by vegetation.

Guests are accommodated, not in mere rooms or suites but a choice of modern or traditional houses, the former built of stone with soaring roofs…the others are traditional Kerala wooden residences, transplanted from their original sites.

Dining

The Octopus, the resorts restaurant, specializes in and offers various sea-food ranging from lobsters and tiger prawns to octopus and shark; from barracuda puttu and sea urchins to baked crab and Japanese tuna salad.

Local dishes (vegetables and fish) too are prepared and can be savored on plantain leaves. With the exception of jam, cream and pickles no preserved food is used in the resort. Fresh fish from the sea, vegetables and fruits grown in the resort garden are used to avoid pollution in food materials.

Bread, cakes and ice creams are prepared here on a daily basis. Such is the taste of the preparations that a regular customer once made a long distance call just to ensure that she got banana cake and mango ice-cream when she would visit them shortly!

The restaurant is semi-circular in shape and can seat up to a 40 people. The sea-sand flooring and the Kerala roof offer an out-of-this-world ambience. Each table has a granite pepper crusher specially made to order from Mahaballipuram. A bronze bell is placed on each table, to call for the waiter. One can also call for sustenance by the pool or down on the beaches.

Recreation & Health

There's a lot to do in Surya Samudra. Various art forms of Kerala are displayed here, ranging from Classical Dances like Bharata Natyam and Kathakali to the martial art Kalaripayattu.

The ancient Indian natural system of medicine, Ayurveda and Yoga, can be tried, to have a very special experience.

Swim in natural surroundings in a Swimming Pool sculpted out of stone. Day Trips to neighbouring areas or extended trips about the place can be arranged.
