Neeleshwar Hermitage is a health-focused yet indulgent retreat by a long, sandy Keralan beach: the ideal place to soak up some southern sun and unwind. The handful of cottages are sheltered by tall palms creating extra privacy.
Dine on super-fresh seafood, and take classes to learn to create the dishes yourself; relax on the spacious pool terrace; start the day with a complimentary yoga class; and treat yourself to a massage after a day on the beach.
Leisure: outdoor pool, spa, yoga, meditation
Rooms: 18 cottages
