Costa Malabari beach village, Kannur

“For a total escape, head 10 kms. south to the very warm and welcoming costa malabari, Kannur, North Kerala. Hidden deep in the cashew and coconut groves, the informal house has four airy and comfortable rooms, and you are served outstanding home cooked Malabari cuisine and seafood. Five minutes walk away are two private golden beaches, where you can swim out to the mussel fishermen and dolphins.
