Kanan Beach Resort

We booked at Kanan beach resort to have a few days of complete relaxation in the middle of our seven week trip to Indian - and to meet up with our adult children. We chose north Kerela for mutual convenience and for the beautiful landscape we had read much about. What a find this beautiful accommodation was. We enjoyed fantastic service from Prakash and his team, both with contact prior to arriving and looking after us whilst we were there. The small number of cottages ensures that you feel part of the Kanan 'family' without that being intrusive. It also ensures that you enjoy the space and tranquility of the grounds and accommodation with compete privacy - and the beauty of those very carefully maintained grounds directly leading to the private beach (so clean) is a very special gift that this location provides. Laze on one of the sun loungers, under a palm umbrella , under a tall palm tree, near a carefully protected turtle nest, and watch the most wonderful sunsets directly in front of you. Bliss. Especially blissful when you realise that neighbouring resorts do not have such well-appointed beach side provision. The pool is an excellent size for lap swimming, if you fancy a change from the waves and warmth of being in the ocean or a simple cool down after a long walk ***** the beautiful coastline. The food is delicious and very good value. The French owner, Martin, is 'charmant' and so very clearly proud of what he has built and achieved with his team. And rightly so. This is a place to unwind and enjoy nature. If you want TV and hi-tech and throbbing nightlife, this is not the place for you. If you want to spend a holiday in touch with the beautiful Malabar coast of Northern Kerela and the Indian Ocean, it most certainly is.

A perfect end to our Kerala travels. This was our final stay and it was just perfect. Right on the most amazing white sandy beach, a beautiful pool and spacious villas. There are only 10 bungalows which make the resort intimate and special. We had a pool/sea view villa which was spacious with a large veranda to sit out on. It had a large sitting room with full size fridge, a large spacious bedroom with walk in closet and large wet room. Everything was spotlessly clean. We had amazing and delicious food every meal, with a good selection to choose from. The restaurant looks out over the beach. This is a must stay if you want a relaxing, peaceful and 5 star stay. All the staff were friendly, so helpful and helped to make our stay just perfect.

Private access to beach, serene location, wonderful staff, time best spent with your loved ones.

Second visit from the UK to Kanan Beach Resort and thoroughly enjoyed our longer stay as facilities, food and service were again outstanding! Chef's thoughtful and delicate touch with sauces and dips created a varied menu of fantastic, tasty, freshly prepared dishes. The restaurant nestling amongst the palms and the sound of the ocean waves was a perfect setting. We'll be back again soon!

What a wonderful place to stay ! We ended up at KBR after am 8 day trip down from Bangalore and what a wonderful way to end our holiday! Everything about the resort was perfect - the sort of 5 star boutique luxury you would pay $500 a night for in other places but for very significantly less Probably one of the nicest places we have ever stayed at - just 10 "cottages" spread out around a pool with direct access to the most perfect and deserted beach. Special mention to all the wonderful staff!

Yet another wonderful stay! This was our second visit to this beautiful resort and its wonderful and kind staff. We love the serenity this resort has to offer. Clean and spacious rooms with a sea view and a very hospitable staff what more can one want. This has become our go to place for family holidays. Each time we visit ,we wish we could stay longer. Would strongly recommend this resort to everyone who is looking for a place to relax and rejuvenate with family. I would like to particularly mention the over and above service attitude of the staff here. There were many instances of thoughtful gestures by the resort staff that made our stay here even more enjoyable. We had the chance to meet the resort owner during our stay and it’s obvious he takes much pride in his resort and staff and why would he not , he has a happy and efficient management and service team. So thank you again Team Kanan for the memorable stay.
