I personally would not swim in the beach as I do not find the waters clean. However the hotel has a wonderful salt water pool which you will enjoy and be comfortable wearing bikini of your choice.

No sorry, there isn’t a restaurant at the beach at Marari but their sea food restaurant is excellent .

Hola. He visto todas las que hay alrededor. Y ninguna es mejor que está ni de lejos. Esta es tan larga que no te la acabarás. Y el color del agua es el mismo en toda esta region. Marrón y con bastantes olas. No te la aconsejo para niños ni personas mayores. Se tendrán que quedar en la piscina del hotel. Saludos y buen viaje. asegúrate que funcione el aire acondicionado

No it's definitely not. Indian culture is conservative and there are signs everywhere about no nude swimming and being properly attired. There is also a security guard on duty at the entrance to the beach from the hotel grounds. I expect you could run the gauntlet, but to be honest, I'd advise respecting the culture of the country you're in and leave the nude swimming for somewhere else. ( Plus with the waves you may end up with stones lodged where you don't want them!)

Much of it seems to be ocean plastic as it is highly degraded. The hotels nearby seem to be doing a fairly good job of cleaning up any local waste.

Marari beach hotel 5 star,very expensive.

ofcourse you can, you must be mindful, Feb is peak tourist season, so availability of a pool villa may become an issue, unless you book in advance. Many good hotels have private beaches which you may want to consider as well. Regarding hotel tariffs, please check hotels section under Mararikulam. Hope this answers your query.

Hi Marari Beach is very low key for tourists. Nothing like Kovalam – which in my opinion is a good thing! There are a handful of small beach shacks at one end selling things like fresh green coconuts and chai lattes and a few children’s plastic bucket-and-spades type items. Possibly a couple of street-food stalls but I’m afraid I can’t be certain, as we ate at our homestay villa every night. Definitely no beach bars/restaurants selling food or alcohol, such as you’d find on Goan beaches. You can buy alcohol from government run shops - there is one in the village - and this is an experience in itself! Supply is limited per person, but enough to see most people through an evening. 3* plus resorts are allowed to sell alcohol in their bars and restaurants. The beach is just stunning, with a long stretch of soft sand, beautiful sunsets, and quite high surf (whilst we were there, anyway.) Also fishing boats. The atmosphere is very relaxed, with a fair number of larger (expensive) hotels with gardens fronting the beach and lots of homestays around the pretty and sprawling village of Mararikulem and shops selling most things, including snack food but no cafes or restaurants. We stayed at Mayas Boutique Beach Villas for 11 nights and I’d thoroughly recommend both the villa and Marari Beach as a place to chill. It has the feel of a real village, is very laid back and friendly. Maya cooked for us every night and her food was superb! Genuine, home-cooked and from the heart. I believe you can dine at other hotels but we chose not to, as Maya's food would have been hard to top. If you don’t stay at Mayas, if you enquire beforehand, they will accept dinner guests if they have the space. It's a small place with just 5 villas and a gorgeous garden, about 100 metres from the beach. I’ve stayed in Kovalam, Varkala, and Poovar previously. In my opinion, Marari Beach is by far the nicest. I’d go back in a heartbeat! Hope this helps a little. Enjoy your trip.

my personal opinion would be Marari considering less crowded and privacy
