A striking hallmark of luxury and serenity, 36 Palms Boutique Retreat lies just moments from the pristine Cherai Beach, where the Arabian Sea crafts unforgettable sunsets. Upon arriving, guests are welcomed into a stylish lobby adorned with local artistry and handcrafted furnishings, reflecting the rich cultural tapestry of Kerala. The air is infused with the scent of coconut and fresh greenery. Signature elements, such as the open yoga sala overlooking lush gardens and handcrafted outdoor furniture, create an immediate sense of calm, beckoning you to indulge in rest and rejuvenation. Ascending through this tranquil retreat, one encounters a rooftop lounge that promises breathtaking views, a spa dedicated to ancient Ayurvedic practices, and a restaurant serving customized specialties that showcase local flavors with a fusion twist. Each corner resonates with the essence of nature and artistry, inviting visitors into a world of elevated relaxation.

Explore the Local Area

The local landscape is a mesmerizing blend of cultural heritage and natural beauty. Just a short distance from the hotel, Cherai Beach offers golden sands and opportunities for rejuvenating days by the sea. Adjacent, the enchanting backwaters deliver a unique boating experience amidst an array of migratory birds and the occasional seasonal rain. History lovers will find treasures in nearby Kochi, where remnants of colonial influences abound, from the giant fishing nets introduced by Chinese merchants, to the stunning Jewish synagogue of 1568 in Jew Town. The labyrinth of Alappuzha's canals invites exploration, while the multi-faith heritage of historic temples and churches weaves a rich narrative of this small colonial town near Ernakulam. Cochin International Airport is a mere 30 km away, ensuring seamless connectivity for discerning travelers.

Room Information

36 Palms Boutique Retreat features a selection of carefully designed rooms, where the rustic elegance of natural materials like Ecuadorian teak, local redwood, and laterite stone create a warm and inviting atmosphere. Each of the 10 stylishly appointed guest rooms is fitted with air conditioning, flat-screen TVs with cable channels, complimentary WiFi, fridges, and tea/coffee facilities. The diverse assortment includes garden rooms that transport you into privacy and serenity, perfect for unwinding amidst peaceful surrounds.

Room Upgrades

For those seeking enhanced luxury, the dual-room Family Suite presents an inviting 800 square feet of space, designed for shared moments. Alternatively, the standout triple room comes with views over the pool-a highlight that encapsulates the retreat's harmonious spirit-boasting a spacious layout enriched with a private entrance, garden vistas, and a walk-in shower for ultimate relaxation. Each room upgrade encapsulates the ethos of exploration paired with tranquility, carrying the charm of tradition into a selectively modern ambiance.

“The beachfront location is undeniably appealing, but the infinity pool-apparently the only one of its kind on Cherai Beach-truly elevates the experience. I'm particularly impressed by the owners' commitment to maintaining high standards, judging by the consistently positive feedback. For those seeking tranquility with attentive service, this boutique retreat is undoubtedly a strong choice.”
