"Resort living is not the usual image that springs to mind when thinking of India. But in Trivandrum…the Surya Samudra Beach Resort rates up there with the worlds most charming
escapes"
"Surya Samudra projects a new trend in ecofriendly beach resorts" Individual cottages or houses make up the resort, call bells at the door have been avoided since the sound is jarring and each terrace 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. "We spent days lolling by the pool created from an old quarry where sculptors from Mamallapuram have carved underwater artworks in the original rock." "The swimming pool here has a line-up of balikkallu, small granite usually seen in the inner courtyard of
temples which add to the rustic ambience of the resort." Perfectly in tune with nature, the swimming pool is a natural rock pool without any tiles on the floor. | |||||||||
SURYA SAMUDRA BEACH GARDEN | |||||||||
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 20 acres of private space and each house comes with a luxuriant foliage of coconut, palm, bamboo, banana, wild shrubs, flowers and the chirping of birds.
