Octagon

A sea facing, tile roofed, wooden cottage restored from the original timber of a traditional Keralite house, the Octagon has the most spectacular views at Surya Samudra, Kovalam. The 8-walled sleeping area has a four poster bed, below a high pyramid roof, surrounded by glazed windows for an almost 1800 uninterrupted view of the sea. Adding to its vintage character are period prints, quaint antique accessories like a Raj era metal pedestal fan, granite sculpture and more. A grassy deck in the forecourt makes a great place to watch the sun sink beneath the waves, sundowner in hand!

One of the greatest symbols of Kerala's eco-conscious architecture is the ancient homestead - the Tharavadu house. Its design is based on the principle of being in harmony with Nature, be it in the play of light and air inside or in the flowery, fruit laden garden outside. Sadly, with the march of time, these magnificent dwellings began to face the danger of being stripped and sold for timber. Surya Samudra Kovalam is where that glorious era of architecture has been saved from extinction.		Each of our residences is a carefully restored traditional home. The terracotta roofs, tiled floors, wooden pillars, and ornate doors evoke a heady sense of romance with the past. Every article of furniture, painting, and decoration is a handpicked page out of history. Of course, to keep in tune with the times, each residence comes complete with all modern amenities. Some of these residences stand graciously on a cliff offering magnificent views of the sea. Others sit snugly in palm groves that dot the hillside.
