Carnoustie Beach Resort
Set in 27 acres of virgin land, Carnoustie Beach Resort has been created to make both the modern vacationer and seasoned traveller feel at home. While there is plenty to do and explore at the resort, there is also opportunity to simply lie back in the curative brine of the Arabian Sea, or the soothing freshwater pool adjoined to your villa. From the putting green to the archery square, there are plenty of activities to keep you engaged. If, however, you are on a soul-searching trip, the paved path to the natural Spa will show you the way to banish your fatigue and make your past worries seem like a distant memory. This is the place where you will heal, and where you will finally come back to life.
Just about an hour‘s drive from Cochin International Airport, Carnoustie Beach Resort is a sparkling jewel dotting the thread of the world-famous backwaters and beaches on the lap of lush tropical greenery in ‘God’s Own Country’, Kerala. In this heaven on earth, guests will find privacy, warmth, many moments of magic and the promise of utter contentment fulfilled during their stay.
Sustainable design
The resort has 40 villas that are separate worlds within themselves, and inside you’ll find every one secluded, serviced and equipped with every facility you would expect from a five-star environment. The premium villas reflect the charming theme of frangipani that pervades the resort and has its own rain-shower, jacuzzi, bathtub and a private pool. While they offer an inimitable venue for rejuvenating your romance, the mid-range villas with their large-format bedrooms and classic bath tubs also make for a perfect family rendezvous. The entry-level villas, with their lily pools, offer not only the perfect embodiment of luxury, but a surprise garnishing of great value as well.
The design of the villas is a perfect fusion of contemporary and traditional Keralan architecture spread across 27 acres of beachfront land. The natural features, including a winding stream, as well as fauna, have been retained so as to keep the local eco-flavour. An intriguing use of weft bamboo amidst the local warp of palm, thatched leaves and wood add to the natural, indigenous luxury of the resort too.
In a breathtaking expression of contemporary and sustainable design, and in continuity with its natural surroundings, subtly infused with the essence of the tropics, each Villa is an exquisite example of space and privacy in perfect harmony. Under their lofty ceilings, the villas feature widescreen LED TVs with surround-sound systems, BOSE iPod docking stations, broadband internet access, and as always, the dedicated services of a villa host to take care of your every whim.
‘God’s own country’
As you move seamlessly from one living area to the next, you will encounter the traditional spirit of the Kerala and its people; a destination that through bespoke activities will become part of your personal journey. Kerala has emerged as one of India’s most acclaimed tourist destinations in the recent past. The World Travel and Tourism Council has selected Kerala as a ‘Partner State’, while National Geographic Traveller has named Kerala as one of the ‘ten paradises of the world’ and ‘50 must see destinations of a lifetime’.
In and around the resort, vast lagoons along the rice fields, dense tropical forest, hilly tea, coffee & rubber plantations, high-range fresh water lakes, national parks, spice gardens and some of the finest beaches of India complete the destination experience of Kerala. The world-famous Kerala Backwaters are a network of interconnected canals, rivers, lakes and inlets, a labyrinthine system formed by more than 900km of waterways across the state.
