The resort is built on the hillside overlooking the beach. In addition to the rural styled cottages, the place is decorated with old temple ornamentation.
The aim is to evoke a sense of rustic, Ayurvedic peace and contemplation. 
The girls all had Ayurvedic massage therapies which they found very relaxing.
I'm not really keen on strangers touching me. Walking on the beach was very restful, and worked up an appetite.
The beach is near Vizhingham, the bay where fish is landed. This is where our fish lady gets her seafood every day! And of course, the fish comes direct to Niraamaya.
Fish and chicken from the tandoor.
The fisherman's basket, in beer batter.

The fisherman's basket in Kerala spices.
The fat, semi-polished rice so typical of Kerala and much loved by my middle daughter.
My eldest had appam and chicken stew again.
A creme caramel with coconut.
Chocolate torte.
Warm date sponge.
Cake making in India has improved massively in the last ten years. Buying western desserts was always a rather dicey proposition, but these three desserts were all lovely, especially the date sponge which had the depth of taste of dates but was also light and crumbly.
