Neeleshwar Hermitage

From the moment I arrived at Neeleshwar Hermitage for my birthday celebration , I was swept away by the stunning beauty and luxurious ambiance of this exotic paradise. The serene environment, framed by pristine beache and lush tropical landscapes, set the perfect tone for relaxation and rejuvenation. The hospitality was nothing short of extraordinary! The staff were incredibly attentive, friendly, and went above and beyond to ensure my every need was met. From the personalised welcome to the thoughtful surprises throughout my stay, I truly felt like royalty. The accommodations were an absolute dream—elegant, spacious, and immaculately maintained, with breathtaking views that made every morning special ,Whether lounging by the infinity pool, indulging in a spa treatment, or any moment at Neeleshwar Hermitage was pure bliss. I cannot recommend this resort highly enough for anyone looking to escape to a world of luxury and tranquillity. I’m already counting the days until my next visit! Thank you Jesse Peter for being Best Host .

I recently had the good fortune of an 8-day stay at the stunning Neeleswhar Hermitage. This is a truly magical place: the environment radiates peace, ease, and joy. The facilities are state of the art and top of the line: every detail receives careful attention, from the turndown service to the spa, the restaurant to the pool--everything is maintained beautifully to maximize comfort and ease. I was truly impressed, and I've traveled widely throughout South and Southeast Asia, Europe, the Caribbean, and North America! The staff are attentive without being overbearing, polished and professional without being distant or off-putting, friendly and open without being assertive or intrusive. I was deeply impressed by their professionalism and warmth. The environment is peaceful and soothing. I was able to meditate without interruption five times a day, and went for twice daily walks ***** the very long stretch of private beach abutting the hotel grounds. The beach is truly a marvel: pristinely clean, stretching for kilometers in either direction with very few other people, it was truly an oasis of peace and calm. I was blown away by its beauty and tranquility. The food at the restaurant was delicious and timely. I took advantage of a cooking class, which was as fun as it was informative! They have a rotating fresh menu every day, and the afternoon high tea was a real treat. The management was also incredibly thoughtful and attentive. Since I was staying for so long during the low season, they offered me a free upgrade to an ocean-view cabin, which completely transformed my experience. They were on hand to make sure I received whatever I needed or hoped for, but they weren't pushy trying to get me to go on excursions or spend money on things I didn't want to. They truly struck the totally perfect chord. I was deeply, deeply impressed by my time at Neeleswhar Hermitage, and you will be, too. If you're looking for a time to retreat away from the hectic frenzy of busy urban life, look no further. Treat yourself to a trip to Neeleswhar Hermitage; you won't regret it.

Paradise in Kerala! One of the most relaxing and beautiful seaside places we have ever stayed. We enjoyed four days & three nights at this peaceful eco-friendly, sustainable, health-wellness retreat and definitely we’ll be back! Deep gratitude to Jeese Peter and his courteous, friendly, devoted staff. We were delighted by how clean & well maintained, beautifully designed and well appointed all the spaces were - from our private ocean cottage with thatched roof to the spacious, open dining hut (with library). We enjoyed the yoga class, had fun watching a movie in the cool club house, and I received a powerful Ayurvedic massage! We loved early morning walks on the beach watching the fisherman bring in their nets and getting to know other guests from the region. Our only recommendation would be to have more food & drink options in the restaurant, especially during off-season. The food variety was limited and while we enjoyed the weekend buffet, it might be helpful to provide a list of area restaurants where guests can try a broader range of choices, snd drink some alcohol & soft drinks. What about opening the sea side restaurant and offering cocktails & light music during the monsoon? A few more huts and maybe some shaded chairs on the beach? Best of all we loved the beautiful swimming pool overlooking the ocean beach (10 out of 10!!) and sitting on our porch listening to the rain, sipping tea and reading. Thank you for going above & beyond to make my birthday very special indeed! ❣️We loved our time at the Hermitage.

We had been to Neeleshwar in first week of June 2024; it was a family outing for us and we felt like home ! Just want to say they are true about themselves; true hermitage !! I loved there sustainability ideas and they have carried this eco friendly approach with style and that is luxury ! Everything was just perfect and overwhelming, cottages were very clean and loved the aesthetics. Pool was best and had great serene beach view ! We thoughly enjoyed cycle trips that we did in the costal belt; one should not miss the cycle rides around the property., Houseboat ride was again good experience; we took evening slot and it was perfect to fathom the beauty of Gods own country ! Our heart felt thanks to neeleshwar’s extremely courteous n disciplined staff, greatly appreciate there hospitality n care !! We would definitely want to visit again and again !!

Truly a magical place, we were only there for 3 days and wish we could have stayed longer. After a really hetic few days travelling (expired visa, extra flights, no sleep and so much stress) we arrived weary pale shadows. The vibe is so chilled you can't help but slow down, relax and just inhale whilst watching the amazing ocean from the side of the seriously pretty pool. The huts and outdoor bathrooms (we were in shanti) are gorgeous and so many thoughtful details which really make the place unique...I loved the smell of the incense they burn each night and of course they sell it in the shop! Well worth buying a few packets. The food is exceptional and totally obsessed with the lemon rice and traditional flakey bread. We had a treatment each day in the spa and Floated out each time! The staff however are what really make this place such a gem. The entire team are so attentive and you feel the energy that goes into make it all so effortless and calm. The biggest thank you from us to the amazing Namra who saved the day and made our start to India so special! And for booking our train tickets too! We are extremely grateful and can't wait to return

Lovely understated small hotel with gorgeous rooms, a lovely restaurant and a super spa. We were upgraded to a lovely pool villa. Friendly and attentive staff and a great breezy spot on the beach . We both had really good massages. Fish restaurant on the beach varied its menu according to the catch of the day. We didn’t try the main restaurant with local food as the fish restaurant was great. Lovely big swimming pool. My only comment would be that our pool villa water perhaps hadn’t been changed since previous guests and was a bit oily. Great relaxing stay before catching the plane home.
