A small hotel on a large site on a superb beach plus a swimming pool. The tailor can make clothes well in as little as 24 hours. The food was amongst the best we ever had in India. The room was excellent although getting the AC right was a challenge. There is touring available but we just idled for 4... More

After a terrible journey we found this place an oasis of calm. The rooms are fantastic although when arriving at about midnight it was a tad disappointing that the kids beds weren't ready for a further hour. The food is good but somewhat limited in terms of choice (especially for kids). That said, the chef asked us if we would... More

I am from Nileshwar. Although I live in London I come home to visit family and friends biannually and while I vacation here we dine out often as a family. Last night I decided to go to The Neeleshwar Hermitage for a meal. It was recommended to us and following reviews online we decided to give the place a try.... More

The Neeleshwar Hermitage is set on a 20km beach and is a large site with relatively few rooms. The rooms are based on large, palm thatched cottages and spacious and exceptionally well thought out. The hotel makes good use of the size of the site by spacing out rooms and amenities to give a feeling of privacy and peacefulness. Whether... More

To get there is tough. But when you reach the hermitage is really so. Possibly one of the few places where you have more personnel than guests. Very calm and peaceful in a splendid setting. Food (even the ayurvedic one) is superb. Massages, Yoga and Meditation were outstanding. But do not forget to take with you... many books!! More

Trip from Mangalore airport in saloon car - 2 hours - but they do send a decent vehicle. Great service, great food but you pay top price for everything. Some cottages house 2 rooms so you are not completely alone - this is not clear in brochures, websites. It may look like it's not meant for children but people do... More

I stayed at Neeleshwar Hermitage in December 2011. The position of the hotel, right on the ocean is spectacular. The staff were superb, and genuinely kind and interested in the guests. The food was really superb, with the chef prepared to make up special dinner for us most nights. For R&R, luxurious massages, and top-notch lounging around nowhere is better.... More

My iwfe and I enjoyed 4 glorious days at Neeleshwar Hermitage at the end of October. We could not have enjoyed our stay more. The staff were consistently delightful. The cottage was wonderful: clean, spacious, delightfully decorated with all the facilities that we could have wanted. The food was spectacularly scrummy: beautifully presented and delicious. We enjoyed doing the daily... More
