About
Hotel :
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. Surya Samudra 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.
