Xandari Pearl Beach Resort

After two weeks touring in beautiful Kerala, we arrived at Xandari Pearl for three days relaxation before our flight home. We were welcomed and looked after by Manju (customer liaison) throughout our stay. The whole team of staff were so friendly, helpful and always smiling - the gardening team who were constantly sweeping up leaves, housekeeping who returned my laundry smelling beautiful within a couple of hours, the spa staff and the restaurant team, in particular Vishanth who spoke brilliant English and had an amazing sense of humour and fun. The pool area had extremely comfortable loungers and the pool was small but adequate. The spa treatments were reasonably priced and so relaxing. I would recommend the Njavara facial. The private beach with very attentive lifeguard is beautiful. Worth going at sunset and also try the kite-flying - great fun. The sea is a bit rough - best to go in the morning. Towels are provided for the pool and beach. There is an extensive and interesting fruit and vegetable garden providing home grown produce for the restaurant and also a butterfly and orchid garden. There are trees, plants and flowers everywhere throughout this peaceful resort. Our room was huge with everything we needed including a garden with hammock and lounger and outdoor shower. And last but certainly not least, the food was absolutely delicious. Just beware - a portion is for two! I recommend this resort wholeheartedly for a relaxing experience in a calm, friendly environment.

Xandari Pearl is the perfect place to enjoy nature and know Kerala culture and tradition. We are always welcome there. All Xandarians receive us like family. We went there every February since 2016 because we fell like home. Manju receive us with a big smile snd is always ready to help, Jessy improve our body with yoga classes , Gracy and allXandarians are always preparing the place witn love a d respect. We really enjoy the time that we spend there. The food is really amazing. We wish to come back next year.

The villa was of a high international / minimalist standard with a huge comfortable bed, a well designed and stylish outdoor bathroom with decent flow shower, and a walled very private garden with hammock, sun lounger, chairs and table. Like the rest the resort, villa gardens and even the bathroom are perfectly coifed with lush grass and tropical flowers. Every day a band of gardeners rake up every stray leaf, and there is lots of new planting as well as what already exists on this former coconut plantation. The butterfly garden is gorgeous as is the incipient orchid garden. These guys are true to their eco ethos with their own kitchen garden, no plastics in the toiletry offering and the delicious daily fresh juices, snacks and water are delivered in reusable sterilised glass bottles. Even for the late afternoon kite flying on the beach - these have been lovingly made of newspaper and cotton reels… So, excellent creature comforts - including the best ever facial by Shiseida - but the staff are also incredibly charming, helpful and numerous. A special mention to Shimlaj in the restaurant who helped us choose our supper choices each evening and was chatty and informative. The only downside is the lack of any other restaurants in the area though there are some charming bars just ***** the beach serving drinks and lunch. The beach is incredible: almost deserted in one direction with only early morning fishermen sorting their catch and a small cluster of beach cafes in the other. People are so friendly in Kerala but there is a joyful lack of beach hawkers so you can walk for miles without anyone disturbing you other than to smile and perhaps ask where you are from. Would definitely recommend Xandari Pearl and return again myself.

A beautiful hotel! The hotel offers a lot in terms of complementary room drinks and snacks and lots of activities throughout the day. The rooms were gorgeous with lots of space and an outdoor bathroom. We stayed in a Green Villa and there was a lovely garden with a hammock also! Spa facilities were also great, and I had a lovely facial!

It was such a wonderful experience at Xandari with their delicious food , the service they provide and the ambience . We enjoyed a lot ❤️All staffs were so friendly especially at restaurant.there are lots of activities at Xandari including beach .

Pretty much perfect. Accommodation lush (pearl villa); environment enchanting; staff friendly; vegetable garden and dairy farm that supply kitchen a lovely element, and staff informative even in their limited English (a darn sight better than our abilities with the Indian languages!) Available entertainments varied. Spa treatments effective. Couple of things to be aware of: spa treatments cost more than the brochure listings, and promised packed breakfast for early departure not supplied. Small fry though. Gorgeous place.
