Welcome to Casa Marari
Your quiet base near Marari Beach
Casa Marari is a small, friendly beach homestay and villa in Mararikulam, on Kerala's Alappuzha (Alleppey) coast. Our six rooms sit in a green, gated coconut grove beside a calm canal — about 2 km from Marari Beach and 1.5 km from Chethy Beach.
Spend mornings cycling to the sea, afternoons in a hammock and evenings over a Kerala fish curry or a barbecue on the lawn. Couples choose our Deluxe AC rooms, budget travellers love the Non-AC villa, and families and friends often book the whole villa.

What our guests say

“We took the whole property of 6 rooms for a night stay on a family staycation. What stood out was the hospitality and cleanliness. They were extremely flexible about how we choose to eat — bringing in food, ordering with them or even ordering directly from nearby restaurants. Extra beds were given generously. They had a fridge and oven so we could bring in our food and eat it fresh. A small boat was available for rowing. Thanks to the whole team for making our stay memorable.”

“We got lucky with a last minute booking. Property surpassed all my expectations. The road to the property is very narrow with tight turns. Once you enter there's plenty of outdoor space with lots for young children — a basketball pole, badminton court, pedal bikes, swing, and hammock. Carrom board and board games for those who stay indoors. Rooms were spacious, well equipped and clean. Bathrooms are spacious with a roofless shower which is a nice touch. They do onsite barbecue if you order ahead. There are restaurants nearby who will deliver to the property. Overall we enjoyed really well. Hosts were friendly and helpful. Would recommend for a large family with kids.”
