Description

About Resort:- Kappad, 16 kms from Kozhikode (Calicut), finds mention in history and geography texts as the gateway to the Malabar Coast. Here, on 27th of May 1498, 170 men led by the Portuguese navigator Vasco da Gama sailed in and stepped into Kerala to create a new chapter in history…the story of a long and tumultuous socio-political relationship between India and Europe. It was the spices and wealth of Malabar that first brought the Arabs, the Phoenicians, the Greeks, the Romans, the Portuguese, the Dutch and the English to Kerala. Kappad has witnessed many such landings. Kozhikode was then the most important trade center of the Malabar region and the Zamorins who ruled this mighty land were powerful and shrewd. Though the Portuguese were welcomed in Kozhikode they were not too well encouraged or entertained for long by the Zamorins, which might be the reason they shifted their base to Kochi and Kollam down south. A stone monument is there on the beach (5 minutes drive away from the resort) to commemorate this historic event. For the people of Kozhikode, this pleasant stretch of rock-studded beach is Kappakkadavu and to the tourists, this pristine beach is one of the most charming of Keralas beaches. The sea here is placid and seemingly untouched by history or time. A temple, believed to be more than 800 years old, is located on the rock adjacent to the resort.
