Xandari Harbour’s unique location allows easy access to both Fort Kochi and Mattancherry. Both have distinct personalities and moves to different rhythms. Stroll into Fort Kochi and feel the pulse of a community steeped in art and history. This place abounds in cafes, each of which is housed in ancient buildings that have a story of their own to tell. Here is where art meets food in a delightfully bohemian setting.
History has not bypassed Mattancherry and it is a melting pot of communities who have settled here over centuries. Konkanis, Kutchi Muslims, Jains and Jews were the prominent communities that have made this their home, leading to Mattancherry’s unique character.
Watch ships sail across right from your bedroom on the waterfront. We have spacious airy rooms that face the harbour and those that are on the bazaar side as well. Xandari is a perfect choice for your Kerala travel ~ a mix of history in a modern setting.
The restaurant at Xandari Harbour is called 51 - named after the building number of the spice warehouse that it is housed in. The award winning heritage structure is restored as a fitting tribute to the spice route.
"Walking through the big revolving door to Xandari is like stepping through time. For on its outside lie the old historic lanes of Mattancherry and on the inside stands a modern hotel with a manicured lawn and a turquoise infinity pool"
The big red door at Xandari Harbour is an entry into a whole new world of relaxation and bliss. Get completely bowled over by the contrast between the bustling street outside and the expansive view of the harbour that welcomes you at the reception. The setting is perfect to gaze dreamily into the distant shores long after the ships have docked. The best time to sit here is during the monsoons, when rain turns the courtyard a lush green and the water of the harbour is seen hazily through a curtain of rain.
Spice rooms on the ground floor enjoy outdoor seating with direct access to the pool. The collection of Spice Rooms on the first floor have large picture windows that frame charismatic panoramas of waters and sky.
Spacious balconies with waterfront views define the Harbour Rooms.
With two balconies, the Spice Suite invites guests to enjoy both the vibrant energy of the Bazar Road as well as dining with waterfront views.
The Harbour Suite is perfect for luxury honeymoons and romantic escapes. With stunning views of Cochin Port on three sides, this is the place to stay for the perfect Kochi holiday.
