Kanan Beach Resort

We booked at Kanan beach resort to have a few days of complete relaxation in the middle of our seven week trip to Indian - and to meet up with our adult children. We chose north Kerela for mutual convenience and for the beautiful landscape we had read much about. What a find this beautiful accommodation was. We enjoyed fantastic service from Prakash and his team, both with contact prior to arriving and looking after us whilst we were there. The small number of cottages ensures that you feel part of the Kanan 'family' without that being intrusive. It also ensures that you enjoy the space and tranquility of the grounds and accommodation with compete privacy - and the beauty of those very carefully maintained grounds directly leading to the private beach (so clean) is a very special gift that this location provides. Laze on one of the sun loungers, under a palm umbrella , under a tall palm tree, near a carefully protected turtle nest, and watch the most wonderful sunsets directly in front of you. Bliss. Especially blissful when you realise that neighbouring resorts do not have such well-appointed beach side provision. The pool is an excellent size for lap swimming, if you fancy a change from the waves and warmth of being in the ocean or a simple cool down after a long walk ***** the beautiful coastline. The food is delicious and very good value. The French owner, Martin, is 'charmant' and so very clearly proud of what he has built and achieved with his team. And rightly so. This is a place to unwind and enjoy nature. If you want TV and hi-tech and throbbing nightlife, this is not the place for you. If you want to spend a holiday in touch with the beautiful Malabar coast of Northern Kerela and the Indian Ocean, it most certainly is.

Kannan beach resort is located adjacent to the sea beach and waves of arabian sea are visible from each cottage through the coconut garden. It's beautifully maintained by very cordial and friendly staffs. Cottage is equipped with modern amenities including free wi-fi. Furnitures are from natural woods or bamboo and canes, very much eco friendly. Food is excellent though little costly but worth it. Service by each employee is having very humble and friendly touch with big smile. They are simply great to make the guest feel homely.

Our 11th visit for 4 weeks Jan/Feb 2024. We obviously love this place! The reasons are many - lovely detached bungalows, beautiful grounds, great pool, superb breakfast, lunch & dinner. The staff make every visit a delight, they are ALL exceptional, from the charming and very skilled chef, the 3 absolutely super guys in the beachside restaurant, through the maintenance staff, gardeners and the daily cleaners, all are extremely friendly. What's not to love?
