THE ART OF DOING NOTHING (AS LONG AS YOU LIKE)

Coming to Marari Sands is not about keeping yourself

busy – it is in fact to get away from it all and do nothing.

And we indulge you to do so. Sit on the white sandy

beach and hear the gentle waves transform you into

another world. Watch how the sky changes colour with

every passing moment. Sip those refreshing mock-tails

made from fresh fruits and laced with ginger and honey.

Nibble the mildly spicy local snacks. And as a point of

discussion for a short while, we have a local keralite

to share experiences of life in Kerala – just another

perspective for you.


YOUR SENSES (60 / 90 MINUTES)


indulge yourself in exquisite wellness treatments. Our

Ayurveda experiences are a beautiful blend of traditional

Indian wellness wisdom and 100% natural products. We

offer you a combination of treatments at Ayura – The Spa.

Please refer to the Ayurveda Brochure in your Villa for

“YOURS AGAIN” VOWS (3HOURS)


and renewing your vows in the traditional Indian way

is something that will stay with you for a life-time. Just

before sun set, two village women escort you singing

traditional songs to the beautifully decorated ‘mandap’

on the sandy beach surrounded by palm trees. The priest

takes you through the ceremony, chanting ‘shlokas’ (lines)

from the Vedas around the ‘sacred fire’. This is followed by

a private candle light dinner on your private beach, as the

sound of the waves lull you into paradise.
