What the property provides
Taj Bekal Resort & Spa Kerala carries a five star rating and a guest score of 4.6 out of 5 from 4118 reviews. The facilities are broad: an outdoor pool and a children's pool, a pool bar, a spa, a sauna and a steam room, a fitness centre, a restaurant, a cafe and a bar, a library, a garden and a terrace. A 24 hour front desk, concierge, laundry, luggage storage and free WiFi cover the practical side.
Families are served by babysitting, a playground and a children's pool. Business and events have a business centre, meeting rooms and a banquet hall. There is also bicycle hire, fishing, yoga, a beauty salon, a gift shop, free parking, a shuttle service and wheelchair access. The list is long enough that most stays can be shaped on site.
Where it sits
The resort is outside Kasaragod, in the wider Kasaragod district, in North Kerala. It is on the coast, by the sea, at Kappil Beach Kasargod. Kasaragod is the headquarters of Kasaragod district, and the property stands 9.3 km from the centre of Kasaragod. Bekal is 3.9 km away, a heritage destination at 0 to 10 m above sea level.
Bekal is the largest fort in Kerala, forty acres of laterite on a headland in the far north, with an unbuilt coastline either side of it. This is the Malabar end of the state, where the population thins and the ritual calendar is Theyyam rather than Kathakali. The fort is a working monument on a beach, not a museum with a car park.
Who it suits
This suits travellers who want a full service coastal base in the least-visited coast in the state, with Bekal fort close by. It also suits families and guests who value pools, a spa and children's facilities on site. It does not suit anyone seeking a small, simple or remote stay, because the scale and the range of facilities are the point.
Planning a stay
Come between November and March. Theyyam season runs December to April in the shrines inland, and it is not a performance for visitors; December or January is the reason to choose this coast. The season shapes the district, so plan around it. No guest score beyond the 4.6 out of 5 from 4118 reviews is on file.
