Location

Nileshwaram - The Hermitage is approximately two hours to drive from Mangalore Int. Airport. It is directly linked with the rest of the state by air, road, and rail.

Overview

This hidden tropical destination is set in a secluded palm grove with empty beaches fringed by coconut plantations, peaceful inland waterways, and lush hillside spice gardens are features of an undisturbed rhythm of life set beside the Arabian Sea.

Modelled on traditional fishermen's huts, each of the 18 beautiful, detached cottages offers privacy, comfort, and individuality. Sea-view cottages, private pool cottages, and garden-view cottages are available, each with its unique character.

Each building is positioned amidst the verdant foliage to give its occupants a sense of peace and privacy; light and airy, each is named after a traditional yogic virtue. Constructed in the local laterite stone and topped by tile or thatch, all are embellished with carved and dressed woodwork fashioned in traditional style by local craftsmen so skilled that their usual work is building and restoring temples.

The Hermitage offers its guests a utopia far removed from the pressures of everyday living, and a chance to enjoy the essence of authentic India her friendliness, hospitality, and serenely balanced lifestyle.

The Ayurvedic spa, huge infinity pool, luxuriant gardens, and delicious variety of food in two restaurants all combine to induce a sense of complete relaxation and harmonious well-being. Unobtrusive individual service and meticulous attention to detail are everywhere in this luxury resort where time stands still.
