Xandari Pearl Beach Resort, Mararikulam N, PO, S.L.Puram, Mararikulam, Kerala, India
Marari Beach's shoreline is home to one of Kerala's most distinctive boutique retreats — Xandari Pearl Beach Resort, a property where traditional thatched-roof villas meet a curated, design-forward aesthetic that sets it apart from the larger beachfront hotels dotting this coastline. Part of the award-recognised Xandari Hotels & Resorts group, the property draws on its setting among swaying coconut groves and a quiet fishing village community to create an atmosphere that larger convention-driven facilities simply cannot replicate. For event planners seeking an intimate, high-engagement format with natural surroundings as the backdrop, this Kerala resort consistently attracts corporate offsites, wellness retreats, and small-format destination weddings.
Xandari Pearl accommodates up to 175 guests in a floating or cocktail configuration, making it an ideal fit for mid-scale destination conferences, leadership retreats, and curated social celebrations. The open-air beachside lawn serves as the property's primary event canvas — a sprawling green space directly bordering the Arabian Sea where sundowner receptions and ceremony setups benefit from natural sea light and ocean breezes. A covered conference-style indoor facility supports theatre and boardroom formats for corporate breakout sessions, equipped with basic AV infrastructure. The pre-function flow from villa clusters to the event lawn is unhurried and scenic, reinforcing the resort's positioning as a Kerala beach venue for corporate offsite planning that values environment as much as logistics.
The property serves two primary event types with meaningfully different approaches. For destination weddings, the resort's villa-cluster layout allows guests to remain on-site in private cottage-style accommodations, creating a contained, community-feel event across multiple days — a structure that suits sangeet evenings on the lawn followed by beachfront ceremonies at sunrise. For corporate MICE groups, the focus shifts to structured half-day or full-day delegate programmes, supported by in-house catering that draws on Kerala's coastal cuisine alongside continental options. One honest contextual note for planners: at 175 PAX maximum, the space is not suited to large gala-format events or multi-stage conference productions; groups requiring technical staging at scale will find the facility better matched to pre-conference retreats or breakout extensions of a larger city-based programme.
Xandari Pearl Beach Resort operates under the Xandari Hotels & Resorts brand, a group recognised across South Asia for its design-led boutique properties in ecologically sensitive locations. This brand affiliation carries practical weight for planners: it signals adherence to a consistent standard of property upkeep, trained hospitality staff, and design coherence across guest-facing spaces. The resort has been listed and reviewed positively across TripAdvisor and international travel platforms, consistently cited for attentive service ratios and the quality of its food and beverage output — both relevant indicators for event planners assessing on-site catering reliability and guest experience consistency during multi-day programmes.
Xandari Pearl Beach Resort is listed on Spalba, allowing event planners to review verified capacity configurations, submit an enquiry directly to the property team, and compare it against alternative Kerala beach resorts within the same guest-count range. For a corporate offsite or intimate destination celebration where the natural setting is a functional part of the event design — not merely a backdrop — this Mararikulam facility represents a considered shortlist option. Reviewing the Spalba listing provides access to updated floor configurations and availability windows before advancing to an RFP or site visit.

Xandari Pearl Beach Resort accommodates events across its beachfront lawn and indoor spaces, with capacity for up to approximately 150 guests for a beach resort wedding or social gathering in a cocktail or banquet format. Planners considering an intimate Kerala beachfront event venue should use Spalba's direct enquiry feature to confirm exact layout-wise capacities before finalising.
The resort features an outdoor beachfront lawn suitable for open-air ceremonies and receptions, complemented by indoor banquet areas for smaller gatherings and dining events. The combination of sea-facing open spaces and sheltered indoor zones makes it a flexible choice for weddings, intimate corporate retreats, and social celebrations. Planners can explore available space configurations via the Spalba listing.
The property's layout supports a combination of outdoor beachfront ceremonies and indoor dining or reception setups, making it well suited for multi-format events. The beachfront lawn is typically used for ceremonies and cocktail hours, while covered indoor areas accommodate seated dining. Event coordinators at the resort work with planners to arrange transitions between the two spaces smoothly.
Xandari Pearl Beach Resort operates with an in-house kitchen that specialises in fresh coastal and Kerala cuisine, with menus that can be tailored to event requirements. As a resort dining and events destination in Mararikulam, it offers buffet and plated meal formats. Planners should confirm specific cuisine customisation, Jain or vegetarian menu availability, and alcohol policy directly through the Spalba enquiry channel.
The resort provides basic audio-visual support for events, including sound systems suited to outdoor and indoor gatherings. For larger productions requiring LED walls, stage lighting rigs, or dedicated technical crews, planners are advised to verify exact technical inventory with the resort's events team. Spalba's direct enquiry tool allows planners to submit technical requirement lists and receive confirmation before booking.
Xandari Pearl Beach Resort has 22 villa-style cottages and rooms, offering accommodation directly on the Mararikulam beachfront. Guests staying on-site enjoy direct beach access, making it a self-contained venue for destination weddings and corporate retreats where outstation attendees need comfortable lodging without arranging separate hotels nearby.
Xandari Pearl Beach Resort in Mararikulam is approximately 85 kilometres from Cochin International Airport, with a drive time of roughly two to two-and-a-half hours depending on traffic. For event planners sourcing a Kerala coastal resort venue for destination weddings or MICE retreats, the resort's team can assist with coordinating group transfers for outstation guests arriving by air.
Mararikulam Railway Station is the closest rail access point to the resort, located within a few kilometres of the property, making it convenient for guests travelling by train from Kochi, Thiruvananthapuram, or other Kerala cities. The resort team can assist event organisers with arranging local transfers between the station and the property for group arrivals.
The resort provides on-site parking for guests and event attendees. Given its location as a boutique beachfront property in Mararikulam, parking capacity is best suited to smaller intimate events rather than large convoys of guest vehicles. Planners organising events with a significant number of self-drive guests should confirm available parking slots with the resort's events coordinator through Spalba.
As a boutique beach resort event booking in Kerala with limited accommodation and event space, Xandari Pearl Beach Resort tends to fill its peak season dates — November through February — well in advance. Planners are strongly advised to initiate enquiries at least six to nine months ahead for weddings and four to six months ahead for corporate retreats. Spalba's enquiry tool allows early-stage availability checks.
Once an enquiry is submitted through the Spalba listing for Xandari Pearl Beach Resort, the platform connects the planner directly with the resort's events team. Planners typically receive a response with availability confirmation, a preliminary package outline, and site visit scheduling options. Spalba's interface also allows planners to track enquiry status and compare responses from multiple shortlisted properties.
Minimum booking terms at Xandari Pearl Beach Resort, including any minimum guest count or minimum spend thresholds, are not publicly listed and vary by event type and season. Planners should submit their event brief — including guest count, event date, and format — through Spalba to receive a customised proposal that outlines applicable minimums and package pricing directly from the resort.
The resort's 22 beachfront cottages, direct access to Mararikulam beach, and intimate scale make it a distinctive Kerala destination wedding resort for couples seeking a private, nature-immersed celebration rather than a large hotel ballroom setting. Traditional Kerala ceremony setups, floral décor customisation, and coastal cuisine menus can be arranged in coordination with the resort's events team and approved external vendors.
The resort hosts small to mid-size corporate retreats, team offsites, and leadership meetings where the beachfront setting is used as a deliberate contrast to urban conference environments. Meeting room setups, outdoor breakout sessions, and team activity programming can be coordinated with the events team. Corporate billing requirements, including GST-compliant invoicing, should be confirmed at the time of enquiry through Spalba.
Xandari Pearl Beach Resort works with a curated set of local and regional décor partners familiar with beachfront event setups in the Mararikulam area. Whether the property permits fully independent external vendors without restriction varies by event scope. Planners are advised to discuss their preferred décor vendors with the resort's events coordinator at the time of booking to understand any applicable guidelines.
