Boasting an infinity pool and views of sea, ETHER Marari Beachfront is a recently renovated homestay situated in Mararikulam, a few steps from Kattoor Beach. This beachfront property offers access to a patio and free private parking. The accommodation features a 24-hour front desk, a shared kitchen and luggage storage for guests. Ether Marari Beachfront provides a serene retreat with sea views and an immaculately kept garden, offering a peaceful respite from the hustle and bustle beyond its grounds. The golden sand beach is inviting, and the ocean water is clean but not clear (I doubt this is a flaw of the place, it's just the nature of the ocean in this part of the world.) There are nice waves to play in in the water, and there's no stones in the water. The water also doesn't get deep too rapidly. It's a great beach overall, especially considering that it's usually empty aside from another hotel guest or two sharing it with you. Regarding the shore reinforcement work nearby, when we went the work happening on the beach was basically done in front of Ether, and they were working on the next segment over. I would say it's no longer an issue to be concerned about. The accommodations are spacious, spotless, and meticulously maintained, ensuring a comfortable stay. The pool at the resort is pristine and spotless, so if the waves on the beach are too big, you can still cool off in the pool. We were seriously impressed how clean the pool was. There is no fixed menu, which can make it difficult to know what dishes are available or possible, especially for foreign guests who may be unfamiliar with the options. That said, the meals are overall enjoyable, thoughtfully prepared, and of good quality. Prices at the restaurant are midway between touristy restaurants and the more local (but still touristy restaurants). The manager is friendly and eager to assist with arranging transportation or fulfilling other requests. Thank you Max for taking good care of us. :) The staff are exceptionally attentive and service-oriented, despite occasional language challenges. All in all, Ether Marari Beachfront is peaceful oasis with warm hospitality with all the western amenities. Most of all, we appreciated that this is not a giant corporate resort, so you still get that personal touch.

Featuring full-day security, this property also provides guests with a sun terrace. The accommodation offers a 24-hour front desk, airport transfers, a shared kitchen and free WiFi. Seetha is a wonderful host, very warm and welcoming. She gave me lots of information about the local area and was happy to answer any questions I had. Her place felt very homely and I was welcome to have free use of the kitchen which is perfect for me as I enjoy an evening herbal tea 😌 My room was clean and well maintained, everything was very comfortable. The location is in a quiet street but still close to town and lots of main attractions. My stay couldn't have been better! Thank you Seetha 🙏
