Overview
Why stay at Neeleshwar Hermitage
Sprawled across 12 acres of carefully maintained space right on the beach-front with endless stretches of sugary sand on either side, Neeleshwar Hermitage is a resort that combines the tranquil and rejuvenating simplicity of a spiritual retreat with the comfort and understated elegance of a first-class hotel. It's not a typical 'beach resort'. Nor does it have the trappings of a business class hotel. But it does have something that means much more. Neeleshwar has a 'soul'; a distinct aura of peace, tranquillity and exclusiveness. It's a place where you can walk away from the deafening cacophony of urban living, meditate on life, get back to your moorings, re-discover yourself, and begin anew. Neeleshwar does that to you. It revives you in body and in spirit.
Rooms
12 cottages. Neeleshwar Hermitage has 12 independent cottages, built according to the traditional architectural principles of Vastu Shastra so as to conform to the subtle principles of Nature that operate in each locality. The cottages are isolated from each other so as to give their occupants a sense of absolute privacy..
Dining
The Annapurna which is predominantly vegetarian, serves an extraordinarily varied cuisine incorporating Indian, Middle-Eastern and European flavours. Meenakshi is a beachside restaurant where you can enjoy fresh fish caught by the local fishermen who put out to sea each morning on their long wooden boats.
