Had an amazing stay at ETHER Marari Beachfront. The property is beautifully maintained and offers a peaceful atmosphere just steps away from the beach. The rooms were spacious, spotless, and very comfortable, making it a perfect place to relax.
What truly stood out was the hospitality. The staff were incredibly friendly, attentive, and always ready to help with a smile. The service throughout our stay was excellent and made us feel genuinely welcome.
The location is another big highlight quiet, scenic, and ideal for anyone looking to unwind while still being close to Beach. Whether you’re planning a romantic getaway or a peaceful holiday with family or friends, this place is definitely worth it.
Highly recommended, and I would happily stay here again!

Although we only stayed at ETHER Marari Beach for 1 night, we can highly recommend this accommodation. The location with direct access to the beach and the well-kept beautiful grounds are unforgettable. The beach was very clean and practically ours... Maxon and the staff take excellent care of the guests. The food is very tasty and can be ordered directly at any time.
In the evening or in the morning you can walk along the beach and explore the beautiful area around the accommodation. You can meet fishermen, children playing and young people. For us, it was a very authentic and informal experience. A must: Bathing in the Arabian Sea at sunrise is an unforgettable experience.
Unfortunately we had to leave after 1 night, we would have liked to stay longer in this idyllic accommodation.

What makes this place truly special is the beautiful beach view, peaceful privacy, and lush greenery all around. The entire property has such a calm and refreshing atmosphere, making it the perfect place to unwind and reconnect with nature.
Most of all, the resort has a very warm and homely feel. It genuinely felt like a second home, and we left with wonderful memories. We would happily visit again and highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a peaceful and relaxing getaway.

We had a wonderful stay at this hotel, and the staff truly made the experience special. Everyone was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and always willing to help. They went out of their way to make sure we were comfortable and happy throughout our stay.
A very special thank you to Nidhin, who looked after us so well. He was exceptionally kind, attentive, and genuinely caring — we honestly couldn’t have wished for a better staff member. His warmth and hospitality made a big difference and made us feel right at home.
The food was also very good and affordable. Overall, a fantastic stay, made memorable by the amazing staff. We would happily recommend this hotel and would love to return.

I had an amazing time at Ether Marari Beachfront.
The property is stunning — peaceful, beautifully designed, and surrounded by nature. The newly built rooms are spacious, modern, and thoughtfully equipped, offering the perfect mix of comfort and style.
The food was another highlight: fresh, delicious, and full of authentic Kerala flavours. Every meal felt like it was prepared with care.
But what truly made my stay special was the staff. They are warm, attentive, and incredibly welcoming. You can feel that they genuinely care about their guests’ wellbeing and experience.
Ether Marari is one of those places where you immediately feel at ease — calm, grounded, and well taken care of. I would return without hesitation. Highly recommended!

Our family of four stayed four nights in this beautiful place and truly loved every minute.
The rooms were stylish and we loved our outdoor bath! The gardens were beautifully landscaped and maintained and the pool a delight. The clubhouse common room with library shelf was a pleasant extra space and the terrace above and beyond perfect for wave watching. The food freshly prepared onsite was fantastic. Absolutely best of all were the staff, every single one delightful and beyond helpful. Maxon helped us arrange an amazing houseboat trip at short notice and recommended the nearby Coir Museum and arranged transport. Anisha arranged a local cookery class for us all which we loved. Nidhin and hospitality team were absolute treasures as were housekeeping, we were very sad to have to leave and will remember our stay with joy always.

Ether Resort – A Tranquil Coastal Retreat !!
Nestled along the serene shores of Marari Beach, Ether Resort offers an idyllic escape for those seeking comfort, charm, and oceanfront beauty. The resort’s inviting ambiance and attentive/friendly staff make you feel right at home.
The rooms are thoughtfully designed, featuring cozy interiors and private balconies that provide breathtaking views. The food here is exceptionally tasty 😋
Need to praise the cleanliness and comfort of the accommodation👌.
The resort's proximity to the beach allows for spontaneous seaside strolls and sun-soaked afternoons.
We traveled as a group, and it turned out to be one of the most loved trips we’ve ever taken.
No words can explain how wonderful our stay was. Thank you so much for putting up with all our requests and giving us the best 👍👍
~ Annu G
We had a wonderful stay at Ether Marari. It felt like staying at a friend's home. The beachside location was perfect, and the beach clean and completely uncrowded. Our young daughter loved playing in the sand!
Food was great too, each meal prepared to order at the kitchen on the property. Consider bringing your own alcohol if you would like. I also want to thank Maxon for the excellent service, starting even before the stay with helpful directions and inquiring about meal preferences, and taking our daughter to the fish feeding spot. Big thank you to the chef as well who went out of his way to cook a special meal for our daughter!
All in all a wonderful, beachside homestay with everything you could want to relax and enjoy the beach!

We stayed at Ether Marari Beach Resort in the first week of July and had such a lovely time! The rooms were really good and comfortable, and the complimentary room upgrade because we had kids with us was such a nice gesture. Maxson, the manager, was very friendly and helpful, and Gipson and all the other staff were equally warm and welcoming. And the food deserves a special mention, it was some of the really, really great food I’ve had in a long time! Everyone in our family loved it. My sister and her kids had come from Australia for a vacation in Kerala, and they especially loved the resort. The kids are already asking us to go back again, so we’ll definitely be coming back! ❤️

If you’re looking for that rare unicorn, one that feels like a secluded secret but offers world-class amenities—you’ve found it. We stumbled upon this hidden gem just steps from the shoreline, and it’s easily one of the most refreshing stays we've had in years. The first thing you notice is the intricate landscaping. The interiors are strikingly modern and incredibly well thought out. Traveling with kids can be a gamble, but this property hits the jackpot. The Pool is an absolute showstopper. The kitchen here is top-tier. The staff deserves a standing ovation. They manage to be professional and attentive while maintaining a warm, laid-back coastal energy.

~ FELIX A
Our stay at Ether was exactly what we were hoping for. For starters a beautiful property that's right in front of the beach, it has a big cozy terrace spot with a direct view of the sea, cute and super neat cottages, a clean swimming pool, a well maintained garden and friendly staff who know to spoil you with yummy food. And if these are not reasons enough to make your stay memorable, the hosts Anisha and Sony will take care of that. They are super friendly and chill folks who are willing to share not only their space with you but also their interesting life stories that are enough to keep you talking all night.
Thanks a lot Anisha and Sony 🙂

A Perfect Onam Getaway at Ether Marari!
We stayed at Ether Marari on 26th August 2026, celebrating Onam with four families, and had a truly memorable experience.
A beautifully maintained 8-room property with a lovely swimming pool and, most importantly, a private beach. The sea bath and peaceful beachside atmosphere made our stay extra special.
A special thanks to Manager Maxon and his wonderful team for their warm hospitality and excellent service. Their personal attention and genuine care made us feel completely at home.
Perfect for families and groups looking for privacy, nature and a peaceful beach. Highly recommended!
~ Pockanchery A
Wonderful start to our Kerala trip. Communication with Maxon was excellent and super helpful arranging transport from the airport and during our stay. The decor and finish of our room (sea view apartment) was lovely, including an ace bathroom. The sea view from the room was perfect. Restaurant, garden, veranda and pool were all relaxing spaces to enjoy, as was the excellent beach and bath warm sea. Food was excellent and good value. Special mention to Gipson and Amal who looked after us - both charming and always on hand via WhatsApp. Thank you to all the team at Ether for looking after us and sharing this beautiful space.
~ Jason L
We had a cracking time at Ether. The place has a laid-back, beachy vibe paired with genuinely exceptional hospitality. Big shoutout to Max and his team — professional, warm, and on the ball from start to finish. Special mention to Sony, who gave us a spot-on recommendation and a brilliant chat; small touches like that make a stay memorable.
Rooms were clean and comfy, with those little details you actually notice after a day in the sun. The beachfront setting is superb — a clean, quiet stretch of sand with gorgeous views and plenty of space to unwind. Food was excellent throughout: fresh, flavourful, and served with care. Service never felt forced or fussy; just thoughtful and timely.
What really stands out is the atmosphere: relaxed, friendly, and family-ready. We’d happily recommend Ether to relatives and friends alike — it’s the sort of place you book for a break and end up planning your return before you’ve checked out.

Mesmerizing morning views that felt almost unreal—especially before coffee—set the tone for each day. The cozy rooftop sit-out quickly became my favorite spot to just be, doing absolutely nothing and loving every minute of it. There’s a charming little fence that leads straight to the beach, like something out of a movie scene. The entire place carries such calm, peaceful vibes that it makes you want to pause life for a while and just soak it all in. It’s the kind of stay that makes leaving genuinely hard. I absolutely loved my time here. If you’re even slightly considering it—just go. You’ll thank yourself later. 💛🌊🌿

What an amazing stay - thank you both so much! Hospitality was outstanding in every way.
You treated us like friends, yet we were guests. The whole stay was personalised to cater for our needs: one vegetarian / one meat/fish menu provided so that we could taste a variety of Keralan dishes. All food was fresh, tasty and authentic. You even taught us to eat Keralan style with our fingers!
Thank you for helping us prepare to go to a wedding by taking us shopping for a sari, arranging to have a blouse stitched and arranging transport from the airport and for our onward trip.
Perfect hosts, perfect stay and perfect facilities.
100% recommend.
~ Jill M
We had a terrific 5/5 experience staying at Ether beachfront during our recent family vacation! Would highly recommend it for a fun getaway with your family or friends.
Breathtaking views, cozy rooms and delectable Kerala cuisine straight from the Ether kitchen made our stay delightful! We also thoroughly enjoyed our fun conversations with the hosts (great company!). Kids had a blast in the plunge pool and outdoor pool.
Highlight of our visit was watching the beautiful sunset while soaking in the rumble of the waves. The sea was literally a stone’s throw away from the property!
Memorable stay, highly recommended! :)
~ Jimmy J
Recently had the pleasure of staying at ETHER. A random find on google maps, ended up having an amazing experience. My daughter wanted a beach front property and nothing better than this when it comes to location. Situated right on the beach, the property gives you mesmerising view of the ocean. The deck upstairs was my favourite. Overall a serene and peaceful atmosphere.
The kids enjoyed both the private jacuzzi pool and the common pool. Beautifully maintained property. The attention to detail given by Anisha and Sony is commendable.
The dining options are limited but delectable. Homely fresh food is cooked by a local lady and served in the living/dining area.
Anisha is an amazing host. We were welcomed with warm smiles and exceptional care and assistance whenever needed. My mother quickly bonded with her and they had heartful chats.
Overall, our stay was an unforgettable experience. Would definitely love to go there again.

We had a wonderful stay here and couldn't have chosen a better place to celebrate our daughter's first birthday.
A big thank you to the entire team for the lovely birthday decorations and all the effort you put into making the day special for us. It truly meant a lot.
We stayed in the private garden-view villa, and it was peaceful, spacious, and perfect for our family. The beach view from the property was beautiful and made the whole stay even more relaxing.
What we loved the most was the hospitality. Every staff member we met was friendly, humble, and always ready to help. They made us feel so comfortable throughout our stay.
The food was another highlight. Everything we tried was delicious, and we were pleasantly surprised that even our one year old enjoyed the food.
Thank you once again for making our daughter's first birthday so memorable. We'll definitely be recommending your resort to our friends and family, and we'd love to come back again.

We had a superb stay at this hidden paradise near Marari beach, Alappuzha.
We were greeted by warmth of the friendly staff. Everyone had a genuine smile including the housekeeping staff. Maxon and Amal ensured that we were taken care very well throughout the stay 😊
Food though simple and Kerala cuisine, it was delicious and made with fresh ingredients.
Rooms were spic and clean with all amenities of a star hotel. The seashore view from the ocean facing room was excellent 👌
Overall, we felt like visiting again.
Thank you everyone at Ether Marari 👍

Wer abseits vom Massentourismus Ruhe sucht und umsorgt werden will, ist hier richtig. Große Zimmer, aufmerksames Personal, großartiges und frisches Essen. Die Lage direkt am Strand ist perfekt. Die großen Ressorts sind weit weg und man hat den Strand für sich.
