What the resort lists
ShriGo Bekal Fort Resort & Spa is a three star property with a guest score of 3.9 out of 5 from 104 reviews. The listed facilities cover the practical and the leisurely. All rooms are air conditioned and non smoking, with family rooms available, and a kitchenette and minibar in the room. There is a restaurant and a bar, plus room service and a 24 hour front desk. A spa and fitness centre sit alongside a garden and picnic area.
Outdoors, the property allows pets and provides free parking and free WiFi. A shuttle service is listed, as is 24 hour security and the fact that the beach is nearby. Taken together, these are the facilities of a resort that expects you to spend time on site as well as at the fort.
Where it sits
The resort stands outside Kanhangad, in the wider Kasaragod district of North Kerala. The nearest town is Kanhangad, 11.1 km from the centre of Kanhangad. The property is on the coast, by the sea, at the Bekal Fort Entrance on Kasaragod Kannur Rd. It is 500 m from Bekal, about 5 minutes on foot.
That address puts the largest fort in Kerala within a short walk. Bekal is a heritage destination at 0 to 10 m above sea level, forty acres of laterite on a headland with an unbuilt coastline either side. The Malabar end of the state has a thinner population and a ritual calendar built around Theyyam rather than Kathakali.
Who it suits
It suits travellers who want the fort as the centre of the stay and are content to base themselves at the entrance rather than in Kanhangad. The spa, fitness centre and restaurant make it work for couples and families who mix time on site with the coast. It does not suit anyone who wants a town-centre location or a car-free pick-up point, because 11.1 km separates it from the centre of Kanhangad.
Planning a stay
Come between November and March. December or January is the reason to choose this stretch of coast, because Theyyam season runs December to April in the shrines inland, and it is a ritual, not a performance for visitors. The fort itself is a working monument on a beach, so a stay here is about the headland and the unbuilt coastline either side of it.

Where it is
