The resort complex falls under Trivandrum district and is 18 kilometres away from it, 22 kilometres from the airport. It is 20 kilometres away from the historic Vizhinjam (pronounced as Virinyam) harbour and 6 kilometres from Vizhinjam town. Niraamaya Retreat began as a single octagonal stone house thirty miles from the tip of India and just a few minutes from the historic Vizhinjam harbour (pronounced as Virinyam) Today, it has grown into an eco-friendly beach resort with 23 houses spread over nearly one-third of an acre of private space and each house comes with a luxuriant foliage of coconut, palm, bamboo, banana, wild shrubs, flowers and the chirping of birds. Individual cottages or houses make up the resort, call bells at the door have been avoided since the sound is jarring and each house has a granite-topped table and stools cut from granite pillars where one can sit and watch the waves lash against the cliff throwing little water beads against the azure sky.
