About Xandari Pearl
Xandari Pearl is a boutique villa resort on Marari beach: thatched-roof villas, several with private pools, in a coconut grove behind the sand. It suits a small wedding taken as a buyout, for families who want Marari's quiet without a resort crowd. No venue chart is published, so the garden plan is agreed on a site visit.
Panigrahana designs it as a private beach estate.

Season and weather
November to February is the dry window on Marari beach; December books first. March and April are hot, so functions move to the evening. The south-west monsoon (June to September) rules out the beach garden.
Arrivals, access and logistics
Guests arrive by road from Cochin International Airport via Alappuzha. The villa count is small, so the resort houses only the core family; Marari's other resorts take the rest. Outdoor amplified sound stops at 10 pm.
