Song of the Sea Homestay,  Valiyaparamba-Payyanur

This 150 yr old traditional beach house is located about 60 km from Kasaragod in North Kerala in Valiyaparamba fishing village on a secluded island between a lovely white sandy beach and a gorgeous wide expanse of front backwater, both at a walking distance from the house. The island lies in the Arabian sea under a canopy of coconut trees creating a serene and relaxing ambiance.  It is separated from the mainland by backwaters. 

There are 6 well furnished rooms across 2 blocks. There are 2 classic rooms in the old house and 4 superior rooms in the new house. All rooms have attached washrooms. There are traditional verandas and bamboo huts outside to chill out and dine at with the magnificent view of the lake. Camping, bonfire and barbeque can be organized on request.

Know your Host

The owner, Ranjith is very friendly and makes sure to give personal attention to all his guests. He bought the land on this island some 10 yrs back and has been successfully running this homestay since then. This is inspirational to see how he is running the show without any prior entrepreneurial experience. He strongly believes that all that matters in the hospitality business is how well you treat your guests.
