The Lalit Resort & Spa Bekal is a five star property outside Kasaragod, in the far north of Kerala and the wider Kasaragod district. It has a private beach and an outdoor pool, plus a full spa and a long list of family facilities. Whether it suits you hinges on one preference: a large, organised resort with a private shoreline, or the smaller, quieter stays of the Bekal coast.
What the property offers

Room service runs around the clock.

The private beach and a beach nearby complete the outdoor setting.
Where it sits
The address is Bevoori Udma Kasaragod District, and the resort sits outside Kasaragod, in the wider Kasaragod district. Kasaragod is the headquarters of Kasaragod district, and the property is 9.9 km from the centre of Kasaragod. The district belongs to North Kerala, and the site is on the coast, by the sea.
The destination is Bekal, and the resort is 3.2 km from Bekal. Bekal is a heritage destination at 0 to 10 m above sea level. The largest fort in Kerala stands there: 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.
Who it suits
The resort suits families with children, guests who want a spa and a private beach, and travellers who prefer a full set of facilities to a small guesthouse. It does not suit anyone looking for a compact, independent stay with few services, or a base in the middle of a town, since the property is 9.9 km from the centre of Kasaragod and relies on its own grounds for everything.
Planning a stay
The best months for the Bekal coast are November to March. Theyyam season runs December to April in the shrines inland, and it is not a performance for visitors. If the ritual calendar is the reason for the trip, December or January is the time to come. The fort is a working monument on a beach rather than a museum with a car park, and Kasaragod district is the least-visited coast in the state, which is the point.
What the property lists
Where it is
About 9.9 km from the centre of kasaragod, in Kasaragod district. That is a ride rather than a walk. The listed address is Bevoori Udma Kasaragod District.
