Escape to Gateway Bekal, An Offbeat Monsoon Experience in Kerala

When the monsoon clouds gather over Kerala, the state transforms into a lush sanctuary of rain-kissed forests, misty horizons and tranquil waterways. And there’s no better place to soak it all in than Gateway Bekal  – a peaceful coastal retreat where the rains become part of the experience.

Discover a Hidden Gem in the Monsoon

Far from crowded tourist trails, Gateway Bekal is tucked between Kerala’s serene backwaters and the Arabian Sea. As the monsoon arrives, the landscape explodes in shades of green, the rivers swell with life, and the rhythm of rainfall brings with it a calming energy.

This is not your typical holiday. This is an offbeat monsoon escape designed for those who want to disconnect, recharge, and reconnect with nature.

Waterfalls, Beaches and Backwaters

Monsoon in Bekal is a season of spectacle. Explore Bangad Falls, Narathumala Falls, and Gumpe Falls—dramatic cascades made even more breathtaking by the rains. Each trail leads you deeper into nature, with the sound of falling water and rustling leaves guiding your path.

For quiet reflection, Chembirika Beach offers a rare kind of solitude. Its untamed shoreline is free from the typical beach crowd, making it perfect for long, contemplative walks during a light drizzle.

Prefer to stay dry? Opt for a backwater cruise, gliding gently through Kerala’s lush interior, where monsoon showers dance on the surface and birds call from the treetops.

Monsoon Wellness

At the heart of the Gateway Bekal experience lies its therapeutic spa, where the monsoon season enhances every treatment. The traditional Kayaseka (Pizhichil) therapy—where warm medicated oil flows in a continuous stream over your body—is especially potent during this time. The cool air helps your body absorb the oils more deeply, relieving tension and improving circulation.

This is wellness the way nature intended—rooted in centuries of Ayurvedic wisdom and perfectly in tune with the rhythm of the rain.

A Sanctuary for the Soul

Inside the resort, large windows frame rain-washed gardens and backwater vistas. Outside, native birds return to the treetops and monsoon breezes carry the scent of wet earth. Every detail is designed to help you pause, breathe, and slow down from life’s relentless pace.

Whether you’re craving a wellness retreat, scenic seclusion, or simply a unique holiday that breaks from the ordinary, Gateway Bekal’s monsoon package delivers something rare: peace, depth, and a chance to feel something real.
