KATHADI NORTH

About Kathadi North

The Palk bay & Gulf of Mannar offers umpteen opportunities for exploring the coral reefs, the ghost town of Dhanushkodi & the Rameswaram Temple. We first arrived in this region as explorers trying to find secluded beaches, scenic surroundings & all the ingredients that add up to a perfect get-away on mainland India. It was stunning & since then we settled down. Choosing local & earthy material was our priority so we used a mix of coconut thatch, red brick, palm sticks & silver teak. The cottages were fitted with windows and doors procured from the heritage town of Karaikudi which is famous for Chettinad architecture. Each cottage has an ensuite western closet & open sky shower.
