Nihara Resort and Spa Cochin

Every thing

Nothing to dislike

We had a room with a private pool and it was just fabulous, especially for our 9 year old son. The grounds are very pretty and the staff were friendly and helpful.

It was incredibly loud and noisy. There was an event going on and I would have left if it hadn’t finished later that day. My sister had to move rooms due to the loud noise in the room beside her. Activities such as kayaking and spa were more expensive than other places we stayed. Would not recommend getting meals included as there is an excellent seafood restaurant across the road that’s outdoors and has a nice atmosphere.

I stayed at Nihara Resort & Spa earlier this month, and it was truly one of the most refreshing and memorable getaways I've experienced. The property is located just next to lush islands with serene waters - and it is beautifully maintained. It's the perfect destination to unwind and reconnect - I went with my family hoping for some quality time together and that’s exactly what we got. From the moment we arrived, the warm hospitality made us feel completely at home. We stayed at the water villas with private access to the pool - the rooms are thoughtfully designed keeping comfort in mind. The resort is more than a stay - the hotel is attached to range of activities. We loved the eco-boat tourism, which was a wonderful way to explore the natural surroundings while learning more about the local ecosystem in Kochi The food at the resort and affiliate restaurant was to die for - from the menu to the service, our dining experience was just impeccable. A special mention for the absolutely delicious coconut pudding for dessert at the Riverside Grill (we still dream about this!). And of course, the spa—authentic, calming, and incredibly well run. The treatments were deeply relaxing, and the doctor's guidance was thoughtful and genuinely helpful. A heartfelt thank you to the incredible staff, especially Jubi, who went above and beyond to make our stay extra special. Overall, Nihara was the perfect place to unwind and relax.

We are two young women from NZ who stayed here for our first two nights in India, on our first visit to this beautiful country. We were a bit nervous, but the extremely hospitable and helpful staff made everything wonderful for us, from organising us yoga mats for our rooms, to arranging the awesome taxi driver Manu to drive us around for 3 days. The views of the waterways and fishing nets from the resort grounds were beautiful. The Riverside Grill across the road was delicious and incredible value, and the facilities were lovely and clean. Thank you for everything!

Just the stray dogs outside which the resort can't really do anything about!

Very clean big rooms and beautiful greenery

Far from the city centre
