Chola
The resort from the air on a clear morning: fourteen thatched cottages in two rows inside a white-walled compound, the pool and event lawn at one end, and beyond the coast road the fields, village houses and open sand of Kothapatnam Beach.

Fourteen Vintage Cottages

Built low, built solid

Vintage, and Deliberately So

These cottages were built the way coastal buildings used to be — low, thick-walled, set apart, with the breeze doing most of the work. We have kept that and added what the buildings could not have anticipated: dual air-conditioning, high-speed Wi-Fi, RO water on tap, and two full bathrooms in every single cottage, whatever the type.

Three types

Choose Your Cottage

The living area of a Deluxe Cottage: a cream three-seater sofa and glass coffee table on a chequered stone floor, with an archway through to the bedroom beyond.

Deluxe Cottage

The Everyday Escape

A vintage-built cottage carrying an unbroken sea breeze, dual air-conditioning, and a bed layered in premium cushioning. Two full bathrooms — the small luxury that turns a good morning into an easy one.

2 full bathrooms · Dual air-conditioning

The living area of a Luxury Cottage: a large blue five-seater corner sofa on a chequered stone floor, with an archway through to the bedroom.

Luxury Cottage

The Front Row

The closest we get to the water. Four guests, twin bathrooms, dual climate control and a private sit-out where the morning arrives before the rest of the resort wakes.

2 full bathrooms · Dual air-conditioning

The living area of a Suite Cottage with its second bed made up beside the sofa, and doorways through to the main bedroom and a marble washroom.

Premium Suite

Room to Spread Out

Our most generous plan. A primary bed plus an additional one, dual air-conditioning throughout, an oversized lounge sofa and hand-finished wooden storage. Built for two couples travelling together, or a family that refuses to compromise on space.
