Spread among 10 hectares of landscaped tropical gardens and palm trees that lead you on to a quiet secluded beach in the small fishing village of Mararikulam, the stylish Carnoustie Beach Resort & Spa, a fusion of traditional Keralan architectural style with contemporary creature comforts, is casual yet elegant at the same time. Inspired by modern Balinese style decor, each of the 40 well-appointed spacious villas is comfortably furnished with many of them featuring a private pool. Other facilities at this resort include two restaurants including a seafood speciality restaurant; an outdoor pool and a spa that offers a selection of Ayurveda based treatments as well as aromatherapy.
