Traditional Catamaran Ride
Sail the Coast with Unwind Hotels
Discover the timeless charm of Kerala’s coastline with a serene catamaran experience at Lighthouse Beach, Kovalam, thoughtfully arranged for guests of Unwind Hotels. Rooted in local tradition and guided by skilled fishermen, this experience offers a peaceful yet memorable way to connect with the sea.
The Experience
Your journey begins with a short, easy transfer from Unwind Hotels to Lighthouse Beach, where you’re welcomed by experienced local boatmen. After a brief safety introduction and life‑jacket fitting, you step aboard a traditional wooden catamaran simple, sturdy, and perfectly suited to the gentle rhythms of the Arabian Sea.
As the kayak glides away from shore, the coastline slowly unfolds around you. The iconic lighthouse, palm‑lined beaches, and rocky outcrops create a picturesque backdrop, while the sound of the waves and the open horizon bring a deep sense of calm.
