Walking Distance

Malpe Beach

A vibrant stretch of golden sand, known for its pristine coastline, water sports, and some of the best sunsets in Karnataka.

The Experience

Golden sands and coastal energy

Malpe Beach is the beating heart of Udupi's coastline. During the day, it's a hub of activity with water sports ranging from parasailing to banana boat rides. As evening approaches, the energy shifts—families gather, local food vendors set up their stalls, and the sky puts on a spectacular display over the Arabian Sea.

Because LX Cottages is located just a two-minute walk away, you have the luxury of experiencing the beach at its best: during the quiet, pristine early mornings before the crowds arrive, or lingering for the twilight hours when the breeze cools down.
