Mangrove Retreat is a peaceful riverside stay in Udyavara, Udupi, set beside the backwaters and surrounded by coconut palms, traditional boats, and the unhurried charm of coastal Karnataka. Wake to gentle waters, spend the day exploring the Udupi coast, and return to quiet evenings by the river.
Our rooms sit quietly among the palms, positioned to open up to the backwaters and the changing light of the day. We chose to keep the retreat intimate, leaving space for the landscape to remain the star — from the swaying coconut trees to the water, boats, and untouched shoreline beyond.
At Mangrove Retreat, luxury isn't about adding more. It’s about having nothing between you and the horizon.
