Murudeshwar Resorts
Murudeshwar temple and Shiva statue seen from the beach

Your base for the whole coast.

Reef, temple, backwaters, beaches and the Ghats, all within a day of the resort. Here is what each trip looks like and how far everything is.

A diver beside a rock wall underwater

Scuba and snorkelling

Netrani is the reason most guests come. We organise the boat, the gear and the instructor, and we tell you the evening before whether the sea will let the boat out.

Dive options and your dive day
The Murudeshwar Gopura lit up at dusk

Temple and beach

The temple sits on Kanduka Hill with the Arabian Sea on three sides, beside the 123 ft Shiva statue. The Gopura is lit at dusk, and the beach below is quiet enough for a long evening walk.

Jog Falls in the Western Ghats

Nature and the Ghats

Inland the road climbs into the Western Ghats: the Maha Ganapati temple at Idagunji, forest drives, and Jog Falls, which is at its best after the rains.

Family holidays

Slow days: the beach in the evening, a boat ride on the Honnavar backwaters, and a family room that sleeps four. We keep the sea activities to what suits the youngest in the group.

Couples and groups

A sea-view room for two, the Gokarna beaches (Om, Kudle and Half Moon) for a day out, or the group stay when the whole team travels together.
