SURYA
SAMUNDRA BEACH RESORT
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." - Herbert Ypma, HIP Hotels Escape Book, Thames
& Hudson
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 one-third of an acre of private
space and each house comes with a luxuriant foliage of coconut, palm,
bamboo, banana, wild shrubs, flowers and the chirping of birds.
Surya
Samudra Beach Resort has:
(a) Individual cottages or houses.
(b) Each house has a granite-topped table and stools cut from granite
pillars where one can sit and watch the waves lash against the cliff throwing
little water beads against the azure sky.
(c) Call bells at the door have been avoided since the sound is jarring.
(d) A natural Swimming Pool built of granite.
Dine
at the restaurant called "the Octopus", famous for its excellent seafood,
fresh vegetables, genuine Kerala dishes, home-made cakes and ice creams.
Trips around Surya Samudra can be undertaken to view the beautiful backwaters,
temples and local areas. The resort can make arrangements for them. Experience
the traditional Indian healing sciences of Ayurveda and Yoga, kept alive
here, as a tradition.
Surya
Samudra keeps Kerala's Ayurvedic medicine alive in an uninterrupted tradition
on a luxurious scale. After a consultation, one can choose from a variety
of soothing treatments. An expert massage using traditional medicinal
oils prepared from natural ingredients by the masseur can be enjoyed.

and with prophylactics and relief from rheumatism and arthrosis have been
